Adding stuff to coffee.

[esoteric]

Do you do anything to your coffee at home?

Ages ago I found that microwaving milk would make it thicker but I rarely do that.

A few weeks ago I started added single cream along with milk, it's a nice thicker, creamy(duh) coffee. Then I substituted milk altogether for cream and felt like nothing was lost by removing milk.

Yesterday I bought double cream, it's noticeably thicker but otherwise the experience is the same.

Just hot milk and coffee, don't use any water. Best way to enjoy coffee.

I've toyed with warm milk before. Put the usual amount of milk in the mug and microwave it until it starts foaming and reaches the top of the mug, then make coffee as normal. It makes the milk thicker so it's a bit like using cream.

I don't really like the idea of microwaving milk and heating 450ml of milk on the hob seems excessive.

Pure milk and coffee would be a latte wouldn't it?

Subbed this thread, as getting a bit bored with coffee at work.

How do you use coconut oil? All the examples I've seen need a blender, which isn't ideal for work.

Also thinking of trying cinnamon. I assume a sprinkle of ground would be fine, but also seen sticks left in the coffee cup. Anyone tried either?

I bought some cinnamon a little while ago, not something I usually buy so I must have been experimenting with something, probably coffee. I just rummaged through my cupboard but cannot find it so must have been thrown away so it was probably a year or 2 ago not "a little while ago"

Shame because I just heated 450ml of milk in the microwave, 2 teaspoons of coffee and 2 sweeteners and would have sprinkled some cinnamon if I had any after seeing your suggestion. As it is atm it's overly sweet overpowering the coffee so 1 or no sweeteners, and it's thick too like when I use double cream.

I'm back, with brown sugar and cinnamon!

Had 2 cups with each. Next I'll mix the too. I use a 450ml mug and I need 2 sweeteners for a normal coffee and needed 2 teaspoons of brown sugar. Was nice but I don't have a comparison to white sugar

Cinnamon coffee was nice too but wasn't really sure how much to use so I just kept adding until the taste was coming through, and that took way more cinnamon I would have expected.
