I understand that this idea of "adding anything destroys the flavor" is popular and widespread, but it's a really odd thing to think. That's not how cooking or taste buds work, so why would it apply especially to coffee?
- chii 4y agoit's not destroying the flavour of coffee, but additives will disguise the more subtle flavours. The idea of buying expensive coffee is to taste the coffee, not the cheap sugar, milk or chocolate.
- telchior 4y agoChocolate is in a similar flavor profile so it does mask something from the coffee. But a small amount of dairy really doesn't mask much, except perhaps in highly acidic brews. Sugar does nothing to cover the flavor of coffee unless it's in quite large amounts (which, yeah, Starbucks does that).
