People who drink unsweetened espresso

Not everyone is a sugar junkie. When I drink espresso black, I don’t sip it. It’s knocked back in tow or three gulps....and I’m out the door. Sometimes it’s just fuel.

I like Bourbon with water or soda to “open it up”. Coffee black is great.

Just trying to understand the people who can go next level with it. Straight whiskey burns the tissue of my mouth and tastes like pain.

I use half and half in my bourbon.

You can actually taste the quality in the coffee. I enjoy a good straight shot here and there. I never realized how much espresso tastes like chocolate until I had it that way.

Espresso straight is great - you can really taste the quality of the coffee and if done well, has an amazing creamy texture with crema head. Like night and day with drip/similar black coffee. Got into straight espresso in Paris since I didn't know how to order anything else.

I can't really do coffee black, it's more of the watery texture that ends up being a problem so I do sugar/creamer.

I find it gives me mad mom skillz

Bourbon black, espresso neat
I like my eggs, with a little tweet

I agree. Quad over ice every morning.

There's a Latin American expression about coffee.. (I know it in English but not Spanish) Espresso should be, "Black as night, sweet as love, and hot as hell."

That's how I like it.

Spent sometime in Miami and the keys. Had my fair share of Cuban coffee. Not sure why people do not like espresso it’s delicately balanced. If you drink whisky, bourbon, or rum straight or with a qube of ice then espresso is up there in the same category as far as acquiring a taste.

Btw. My coffee by the time I left USA Cuba was a Colada 4-shot Cuban espresso sweetened. Now home back to black no sugar.
