95%! Isn't that too bitter? One square of 72% works best for me, 85% is pushing it.

- programLyrique 2y agoI mostly eat 90% and now find 85% too sweet (but 100% too bitter). I think our taste just adapts to the level of sweetness after some time.
- brink 2y agoI used to drink coffee with sugar, until I purposefully cut it out, and now I can't stand sugar in my coffee. I can't believe I used to drink those glass bottle starbucks coffee drinks at one point.
- ethagnawl 2y ago> I can't believe I used to drink those glass bottle starbucks coffee drinks at one point. They're unbearable -- like drinking a milkshake. It's so frustrating that convenience stores in the US rarely stock black cold coffee in cans or bottles.
- djtango 2y agoYmmv 99+ with some black coffee is delightful for me
- technothrasher 2y agoDepends upon the bar. I find some 99% bars very enjoyable, and some 70% bars not worth eating, and vice versa. I tend to stay away from any bar with too much sugar, or with adjuncts like dairy, salt, chili, mint, orange, etc (because I find they hide the natural flavors in the chocolate itself), and then don’t worry about the percentage as much.
- plorkyeran 2y agoThe quality of the chocolate matters a lot more when you don't have sugar covering up the problems.
- tptacek 2y ago85 is the optimal %.
- worik 2y ago> 95%! Isn't that too bitter? One square of 72% works best for me, 85% is pushing it. Agreed. But I like embedded almonds too
