*shrugs* I’m not exactly a coffee purist. Oh, I like a nice strong cuppa joe all by its lonesome, but I also like the texture (the “mouth” as it were) that heavy cream adds, and sometimes, after seriously frothing up that cream in my coffee (with a wee battery-powered immersion blender), even a touch of vanilla, or a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a bit of ghost pepper along with a scant teaspoon of cocoa powder. But mostly, it’s the texture of added heavy cream that I like to add.
Coffee “creamer”? Oh, please. That stuff–all brands, powder and liquid–is just ghastly. *sipping through the froth of my third mug (two of them nicely “creamed”)* Ah! Already looking forward to another cup as reward for progress on chores selected for today (this mug’s a bit of reward for progress already made).
