How to sweeten up coffee?

[Juice Box]

There's a Starbucks Espresso machine upstairs and work and I decided to get some coffee.....but being espreso, was bitter as Fvck. Can't figure out how to liven it up a bit :-/ Any ideas?

heh...maybe I should give the milk steaming wand a whirl 😛 make some REAL coffee 😛

 

[iroast]

add sugar to milk, steam it and then add espresso.

You probably didn't pour the shots right, should take 18-23 seconds to pour. It will be either really bitter or really weak otherwise.

If it's an automatic one, the best way to sweeten it is with cane sugar crystals, like 'sugar in the raw'

😎

There is a distillate of sugar that has been added to strong coffee brews for centuries. It does not automatically make the espresso sweeter. It does add a little kick. Mix half and half the espresso and sugar distillate for maximum enjoyment.

Weak.. can you adjust the pour time? Curious as to how long it takes.

Is there a crema (white head) on top of the espresso shot when it's done or is it all black?

takes about 30 seconds total, and yeah there is a decent white head on the top.

30 seconds of actual liquid coming out or just for the process to complete?


If it's 30 then no wonder it tastes horrible, yuck.

Is the body of the shot like a warm caramel/brown color or like black?

it starts and stops...30 of actual liquid...about a minute total...and its more of a warm color rather than black

Buy a hershey's chocolate bar and stir in one piece of chocolate, taste, add more to taste.

Or

Don't drink the nasty ass machine crap! 😉

..it's an aquired taste but black/no sugar is the way to go. I prefer black drip coffee no sugar..expresso makes me hear voices in empty rooms.
