Plain, sugar and/or creamer?
Just a quick poll. How do you drink your espresso? Plain, sugar, creamer, or sugar and creamer? Just wondering!

: "Creamer"? Not to mention that it's disgusting, are you aware that that stuff is poison? (Hydrogenated oil = poison.) Mine is half warmed (whole) milk, half Brikka espresso, no sugar - mine actually comes out a little sweet all by itself!

Black & Sweet: Usually 1 tsp or so of organic sugar. Recently I heated some milk for a latt霎ｿ; it was good, but I used too much milk.

warm milk: My favourite is similar to the one posted by non-member above. In Cuba it is named Cortadito. The same amount of warmed milk (with approximately two teaspoons of sugar cane, or to taste) is added the same volume of espresso made. Of course, one can add a bit more milk or less as one chooses. I prefer to use a micro-wave if one is available because it does not burn the milk. Experiment and enjoy.

Cafe Cortadito:
BTW, cafecortadito, question, if a place in this country has an item on the menu named a cortado, how much milk would you expect? Also, some places have much stronger espresso than others, hence I'd expect maybe those places if they are using their heads maybe would put a little bit more? The Brikka for instance is not quite as strong as these "syrupy" coffee places (coffee so strong it's almost syrupy), so if you added an equal amount of milk to the Brikka you'd of course end up with a much weaker brew than if you went to one of these places, got like 1oz or a little less and then the same exact quantity of milk.
FWIW, I ask because THIS IS ESSENTIALLY THE EXACT SAME WAY I PREFER MY COFFEE!! So I ask so that I can more easily order this if I'm in a cafe. So I guess we have something in common there, maybe you can help a bit??
