Lianne Moreno Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 It's day 2 and I CANNOT continue to drink my coffee black. I am wondering if anyone has found any sweeteners out there that are useful & actually sweeten. I made my own date paste and it was an epic fail. I found some products from Date Lady - but I am not sure I want to invest all that money just yet if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thank you all - happy 30ing!

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted February 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2021 Even date paste is really not encouraged in coffee. Some people find it easier to give up coffee for 30 days than drink it not sweetened. Others find that they do get used to it unsweetened, but it does take a while. There are some ways to reduce the bitterness of coffee -- try different kinds, some are less bitter than others. Adding a pinch of salt to your coffe grounds is supposed to help reduce bitterness. Some people find adding cinnamon helps. Cold brewing can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca001 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 If it’s just day 2 I’d keep going. You could try compliant almond or hazelnut milk? It can take the edge off the bitterness, however I found after a week or so that I was ready to switch to black. I never used sweeteners though. I think it will massively depend on what coffee you’re using and how you brew it as well. I use good beans in an espresso pump and would never drink instant or french press coffee because I find them unpalatable. So I’d say persevere and as your palate changes over the next few days and weeks you won’t need the sweetener so much. I can actually smell sugar in tea and coffee now when people are drinking it in the staff room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancedWTigger Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I love my coffee pretty sweet, but have learned to like it (not love it) with coconut cream and a bit of cinnamon. I find this adds a bit of flavor to distract from the bitterness and adds fat that I need to feel satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WornOutWallaby Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I found the sparklingly water Bubly Bounce with caffeine in it to replace my morning coffee boost. If you need the "warmth" of a morning drink, you could sip some bone broth. Also, green tea taste way better than black coffee in my opinion. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley13 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Maybe you could try this recipe, 2 cups coconut milk 1/8 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 tsp cinnamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
