Came here for advice actually .
Coz I was/am kinda in the same boat

Interesting note about people saying add salt , need to try this myself .

Ive been a coffee fiend nearly every day of my life ...literally. (was on a caffine drip after i was born).

I too, add heaps of sugar and creamer, sometimes chocolate as well. Its like my little piece of zen heaven .

Ive tried cutting both out, reducing, suplimenting, and using expensive coffee....but nothing substitutes for my triple shot, 5 sugars and cream deluxe cup of heavenly bliss.🤗

And it just feels like im deliberately depressing myself if i have coffee any other way .

So i chose tea.

Especially peppermint tea. And fresh steeped ginger.

I havent changed the way i have my coffee, but i have less of them now.
And they have become a treat.

I just learnt to incorporate other beverages.

I cant bastardise my coffee.
Its my relgion !

@OogieBoogie well I'm glad I'm not the only one because people made me feel dumb for sweetening it too much lol

The salt sounds interesting.. i wasnt going to try but maybe i should since multiple people said to.

I really only drink water 😭 but i also have coffee usually daily too and it can't be good

@PetalsOfLilac i dunno .
Ive done so much research in the last two years on nutrtion , and coffee gets mixed reports .
Some say its poison , some say it has health benefits .

I think , after reading and reading and reading ....health is a personal recipe for each person .

And its about balance.

I tried to elimimate it from my diet , and succeeded for a while .
And ill admit it did me good . It made me appreciate it more.

And i found that i didnt "NEED" it like i used to. Which also made me appreciate it more.
I now have coffee when i want it , not becuase i need it.

And THAT makes a huge difference.

Have you heard of bullet coffees?

Edit : I had to edit so much out, I get carried away on nutrition sometimes .

But love your quirks .
Black coffee is hip, but sweet creamy coffee is DIVINE 😜

@OogieBoogie You do bastardise your coffee to the n'th degree. Your religion is flawed. Grind your own beans....I know you love a good Grind. Use the correct temperature in your rainwater....not boiling. I pour hot water into my warm cup first before adding a double shot of Espresso. No milk or sweetner of any kind. But that is me. I drink 10-12 double shots a day. Way too fucking much....but I figure better than Vodka. I am one of those people that can drink a cup at 10pm and fall asleep. Only about 20% of people are so blessed.

Drink your coffee however you want. 🤣

@KiwiBird sweetheart, your level of personal insanity never dissapoints me🤣

I have a lovely old percolator that simmers my grind nice and slow .😜

And i cant help my level of bastardisation😄....its been cultivated over a lifetime .

Plus, i do get a small inner rush pleasure looking at the horror on the baristers face when i order 🤗

I also like how you promote the Queensland Sugarcane Industry and the Tasmanian Dairy Industry you multi-task your coffee. 🤣
