With or without milk?Updated a year ago

Do you prefer your coffee (espresso or filter coffee) black, or do you like to add milk? Not all coffees are a good match for milk.

 

Many coffees pair excellently with milk, including darker roasted espressos and coffees with robust profiles featuring flavors like chocolate, nuts, or biscuits – they make great milk-based drinks.

On the other hand, coffees with a lighter roast, fruitier or more delicate flavor profiles, and higher acidity are at their best when enjoyed without milk.
