[takeaim]

I dont have sugar myself but had a new record set in my cafe today.
Counted 12 sugars that went into a latte and she hadnt even tasted it yet. she was a regular that likes our coffee ;D

Can anyone beat that?

Sounds more like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder rather than anything to do with the taste of the coffee.

A teaspoon is 5g, and a can of coke has almost 40g of sugar, so thats 8 teaspoons. Usually a cafe sugar sachet is one teaspoon right? 12x5 = 60g - thats one heck of a lot of sugar.

Id guess that with 12 sugars, you wouldnt have a clue about the taste of coffee from one place to the next. At least shes not a diabetic yet!

I stopped taking sugar the day I got my Expobar.

I have an uncle (with no teeth) that takes sugar like that.
I used to joke that my aunt had to buy it in big hessian sacks to keep up with his intake.

I have 1/2 -1 ts sugar at the most. I have found that sometimes it enhances the sweeter tones of the bean. Other times I dont have sugar at all.

Most italians I know always have some sugar in their coffee. Its all a matter of taste I suppose.

The previous best id seen at work was 6, I dont think 12 will be beaten anytime soon!

Re: How many sugars do you have?

Hmm, used to have 8 sugars on my weetbix, now down to 1, 6 in my black tea, now 2, and 3 in my coffee, now Im only drinking my brews, thats down to a level one, and am soon going to stop adding it to savor the taste proper.

12, wow, super sugar sheila...... ;D

Re: How many sugars do you have?

Depends on the style of coffee Im drinking....

1 x Level t/spoon for an espresso
1 x " " " " Latte/Cappa/Flat White
½ x t/spoon in a Doppio Piccolo (pretty well my standard cup these days)
½ to 1 x Level t/spoon in a Cappa Cup of Plunger brew.

And..... No sugar on my Weetbix, just fruit and either juice or milk

Mal.

Re: How many sugars do you have?

I was told recently by a workmate that theyd seen someone add 13 teaspoons of sugar to their coffee. I tried to imagine that much sugar going in without the coffee overflowing!

At my place,
Doppio = double shot,
Piccolo = small glass/cup

So depending on how much foam you add/want, about 50/50 espresso/milk.

Can be a way to make the change from milk based coffee to espresso, or just a relatively intense short latte.
