I need to replace milk in my coffee and I need ideas (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Coffee fedi, help me out!

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

BLACK. DRINK IT BLACK. PUT SOME HAIR ON YOUR CHEST. DRINK IT BLACK.

Sorry about that. I have seen you say you cannot do it, but this is false. You can acquire a taste for black coffee, and it will make your coffee drinking much easier as well as improve your palate for tasting coffee. Also black coffee has only like 5 calories per cup vs 80-120 calories if you put milk in it.

I love black coffee.

Just pure raw dogging coffee bean water.

I went black and, well, you know the saying.

One of the upsides is it's now really easy to tell what places sell garbage tier coffee (cough, Tim Hortons, cough)

I'm not sure I'm keen on my boobs being hairy, but I got myself a black coffee today...

We'll see how it goes :)

Yes! Welcome to the dark side. Have fun!

I think it's probably good to leave misguided ideas about masculinity out of it - although I'm sure you weren't being serious, of course.

That being said, speciality coffee brewed with care can often be quite enjoyable to drink black and I agree that it's worth trying out for OP.

BLACK. DRINK IT BLACK

Ha!

I like my coffee the same way as Mr. Wolf in Pulp Fiction.

It really depends on the type of coffee you have available. Light roasted single origin specialty coffee doesn’t require any milk at all, whereas dark roasted random robusta blend certainly does.
