I enjoy coffee many ways. I often drink it black, but I also have been known to have it with unsweetened soy milk and usually agave/maple syrup in addition to that. However, I noticed that using both soy and a sweetener makes it taste kinda "overwhelming." This morning, I put some agave in my coffee but I put no soy, and it tastes much better. Bottom line is that I can enjoy coffee either black or with sweetener OR milk/creamer, but I can't do both sweetener and milk/creamer. Now, that I can't get with.

Imo, actually good coffee should be drank black, or with a little bit of cream(oat milk gang) for mouthfeel. But most coffee isn't good so milk and sugar makes sense.

I used to have the energy to roast my own beans and do pour-overs. It was pretty hit and miss on how well I got the roast/grind but when I hit the right mark, it was fucking amazing. But like also fresh roasted tends to lose it's luster after a few weeks and starts to taste like anything else you can just buy pre-ground at Walmart.

I think I agree with you. Really good coffee can be great just black. But as you said, a lot of the coffee you get (at the office for example) isn’t that great, so you might as well spice it up with whatever you fancy since you’re not missing out on some amazing flavor.
