RE: Coffee with or without sugar, with or without milk? (Mini comment contest # 9)

in Amazing Drinksyesterday

THIS IS MY PARTICIPATION IN THE MINI CONTEST:

Hello again, everyone!
I love this topic this week!
I've been a coffee lover by nature since I was very young, like all Cubans (or at least the majority; it's very difficult to find a Cuban who doesn't drink coffee at least once a day).

This initiative addresses the love of coffee with or without sugar, with or without milk—interesting options, no doubt.

In my particular case, I don't like coffee without sugar at all. But I'm not one for extremes either; I don't like sweet, very sweet coffee either. I prefer coffee with sugar, but just enough to allow it to taste its strong and aromatic coffee.

As for whether I like it with or without milk, well, it depends on the time of day.
Of course, I enjoy adding a little milk from time to time—not too much, because otherwise it'll be milk with coffee instead of coffee with milk—and that's not the point; it's about enjoying the coffee itself. But most of the day I prefer coffee without milk and with just the right amount of sugar, so I can enjoy it at my leisure, either alone or, much better, with friends or my girlfriend @maiasun84.

By the way, speaking of girlfriends, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite her to participate in this space, which I know she'll thoroughly enjoy.

For now, speaking of coffee, I've been craving a pot of coffee, and it's about to brew. I'll have a cup, imagining I'm sharing it with all of you.
Big hugs!

Hi @roswelborges

I think that in much of Latin America and the Caribbean (with the exception of countries like Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina), coffee is king, so you could say it's part of the region's DNA. So I understand your love and preference for coffee.

It's great that you enjoy your coffee with just the right amount of sugar, without overpowering it with a lot of sweetness, because that way you can truly appreciate how delicious it is.

Thanks for participating, and I hope you enjoyed a good cup. We also hope your girlfriend, @maiasun84, is encouraged to participate in this mini-contest.

Cheers!

Just like you mentioned.
But even in these countries you mentioned, where many of them drink yerba mate (I also love it, by the way), they drink coffee in different ways, so I'm not surprised someone from there participates here!
Thanks for your kind words!
Big hugs!
Cheers!

Of course. Done!!!

I'm on it !!!

Thanks for your participation @roswelborges

Thank you for the opportunity!

Cuba has a long tradition as coffee producers and consumers. I've tried Cuban coffee only a couple of times; really good! There's one you can find here in Venezuela, La Llave, which beans come from Cuba and are processed and packed in US. I love it!

Hello!
It's great you tried it!
La Llave is an interesting coffee; in fact, it's the one I'm drinking right now, but it would be great if you tried the local Criollo coffee; it's unmatched by any other brand.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting like this!
Have a lovely Tuesday!

Buena informaciòn @marlyncabrera en relaciòn al cafè La Llave cubano que nombras, cuando de con el puedo comprarlo para probar.

En estos tiempos encontramos muchas marcas de cafè , nombres diversos. Hace unos dìas probamos un de nombre Pàramo, es venezolano y nos agradò mucho.

¡Hola!
La llave tal vez te guste, pero si encuentras uno que se exporta nombrado Cubita, te dará una idea mejor al real café cubano. Aunque siempre los hay con diversas granulaciones y tostados que le confieren un sabor diverso, amén el tipo de grano real del que provengan. Los hay más suaves como el Serrano, u otros que se producen en Miami bajo diversas marcas, pero el Cubita se aproxima más al auténtico sabor cubano.
