        Ahh so that it what I make a doppio piccolo. Thanks for giving it a name.
        I still usually have a heaped tsp but since I used to have nearly 2 in a coffee until recently I am doing ok.
        Hope to decrease that again soon to a level tsp.

          Sugar?

          Never if the coffee is good, and if the coffee is so bad that I have to add sugar then Id rather not have it at all (Im a snob, what can I say?).

          My first real coffee experience was with Armenian coffee Think Greek and Turkish. . .) so I was used to very sweet coffee, now though I really enjoy the sweet hints from the beans and the milk rather than burying it.

            I dont think it has anything to do with whether the coffee is good or bad..... Had nothing but compliments for my efforts on the end of the PF however, an almost equal number of my relos and friends will have their brews with and without sugar and this split is almost shared proportionally down the Maternal/Fraternal lines, so seems to be more of a cultural influence than anything else.... From my perspective anyway :-?

              My wife takes or doesnt take sugar depending on how she feels at the time.
              Anywhere from zero to two depending on her needs.

              The coffee is not a factor.

                  I use to think no sugar if coffee is good. But some blends, sugar does balance out the profile. Especially using brown sugar in some coffees. If the coffee is sweet no sugar needed

                    I am all over the shot,  Some times I have sugar, other times I dont, I think i depens with the beans for me,  If it is a medium roast and more delicate flavours I do not have sugar but in saying this I like to maybe add flavoured syrup.  But I dont like syrup in darker roasts but I might like some sugar.

                    No sugar in espressos though I am only fairly new to the espresso scene I like to educate my palate to what true espresso should taste like with the added sweetness of sugar or syrup. (see what I mean, no real set routine, all over the place)

                    I guess it comes done to weather I feel like it or not.  I could sometimes happily have not sugar or sweetners and other times I have been known to have 3 or 4 sugars.

                    On the subject of 12 sugars in a coffee. I did make a coffe for a work mate who thinks might coffee was too strong and liked sugar, So I put 12 sugars into his coffee and when he drank it He said "aghhhh thats better, did you put extra sugar in this for me"  Ah yes 12 of them to be exact" He just laughted and said "Its nice"   :P

                      Im a bit of a weirdo, I have 1 teaspoon of extra dark brown sugar - i love the molasses flavours and the sweetening seems more subtle than other sugars.. yeah yeaah i can imagine yas shaking your heads at me! Try it though!
