Sugar packet doesn’t want you to use sugar

      To be fair it’s always a little weird when people get sugar and cream with a superb cup of coffee. As a general rule I will take cream and sugar at places like McDonald’s or Timmys but if ordering like a nice pour over with fresh roasted beans then it doesn’t need it. There is a galaxy of difference between your cheap daily swill and a really good cup of coffee. Freshness and brewing method matter a hell of a lot, if I have to sweeten and whiten the coffee at a pricey ass cafe I’ll never go back.

    2. Took a tour of a coffee farm, and per the guide: “Good coffee doesn’t need sugar. Bad coffee doesn’t deserve it.” Personally, I thought he was off his nut, but I guess it’s an acquired taste.

      I always go to this coffee shop and I always have my specific coffee
      I shamelessly put sugar in it or ask for it IN FRONT of the barista who made it.
      I just like it a lil sweeter
      I didn’t know it was rude to do that……… :'(

    4. Real coffee connoisseurs like me know that good quality coffee is best enjoyed with a bit of sugar, half a cup of steamed milk, chocolate syrup, peppermint schnapps, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.

      sounds like sweet n low is using mind games… they’re not going down without taking sugar with them.

      “If we can’t be in your coffee, then NO ONE can be in your coffee!!!!”

      I drink black coffee, worked for bougie roasters and this is… the worst.

      Taste is subjective and it changes over time. 10y ago you couldn’t pry the half and half from my cold dead hands…. Now it’s too sweet for me, and an accidental scoop of sugar in my coffee will make me throw it away.

      Boooooo to this marketing!

      We have ketchup packets but will personally shame you before handing them over.

      The sugar company that allows you to print custom text on their packets when they got this order…

      Real ones know to use golden sugar or a bit of honey for the good coffee if one wants it sweetened

    10. While true, this is a very condescending way to save less than a penny’s worth of sugar

    11. Who gets offended by a *suggestion* that you try something before altering its flavour?

      That’s just pride in their product, and you are free to add sugar if you want. You are free to add *salt* if you want.

      I like black coffee but this is just stupid and condescending. I understand the idea of trying a food or drink before modifying it, but does it have to be like this?

      The specialty coffee that wasn’t ground recently and is in a sealed packet? Is that the “specialty” coffee they are talking about?

    14. I drink black coffee every morning.  It is way better, sugar will crash energy, you will notice if you quit completely for a couple weeks then try some.

    15. I love coffee. But only Kona can be consumed black. Everything else tastes like dirt without cream or sugar or some thing.

      That’s not a sugar packet, it’s coffee. (Might be instant, or a wrapped pod). It’s asking that you try it black before just slopping crap into it out of reflex.

    17. This is what happens when you use AI to give everything sentience; that sugar packet is afraid of being ripped open and dumped out (understandable), and this is the method had the highest success rate with the least amount of words (for size and readability).

      Even the printer had sentience— it had to use its own blood, so it used as little as it could, but did so willingly out of respect for the little sugar packet.

      I saw it on a Netflix documentary.

    18. When I was trying to get myself to like specialty coffee, I put a sprinkle of salt in instead

    19. I get what they’re trying to express and I think that’s fine

      It’s definitely ***not*** for me, I prefer my coffee sweet so I add some sugar, but at the same time I’m not buying the best coffee possible

      Not all coffee is the same, large variety in quality

      You can always tell the difference between a low quality and a decent quality coffee, sugar or not

      But between decent and ***good*** quality, the difference is subtle and adding sugar just kinda makes it all taste the same

      So if you are in a position to drink ***good*** quality coffee, don’t put sugar and try to appreciate it for what it is

      If it’s not for you (like it isn’t for me) then don’t get the “bestest” coffee lol, get some decent/medium quality and add in your sugar and creamer or whatever

      It’s cheaper for the same taste lol
