It’s a very American study. Who puts cream in their coffee?! And what about cappuccinos? (Almost all of my coffee consumption is cappuccinos…)
- coldtea 2y ago>Who puts cream in their coffee?! Lots of people all over Europe too
- skissane 2y agoEuropeans doing this is something new to me. Where in Europe is it common?
- manmal 2y agoThe Viennese often add whipped cream on top.
- coldtea 2y agoAustrians do it ("einspänner" and "melange") - Germans and French will have that (called "wiener" style or "vienois"). Italians have their "Espresso con panna" (literally: "Espresso with cream") - would also use. The Swiss will often take their coffee with cream too. In Czech republic it's "kafe se šlehačkou", in Greece it's common in capuccinos or added at will to black coffee. Whipped creme is perhaps the most common form (cream + sugar whipped). Not sure about "half and half" though, think that's just an American thing / product.
- theshrike79 2y agoIn Finland it's customary to have cream for coffee in "fancy" situations. At home everyone just drinks it black or with (oat)milk. But if you want it to taste better, just add a bit of cream =)
- globular-toast 2y agoWhere? I've been most places and never encountered this. It should be noted that in the US "half and half" is popular which isn't a thing in Europe but would be referred to as "cream" by Americans.
- joecool1029 2y agoWe make the distinction between half and half and cream. If I goto a diner there's usually both light cream and half&half available for coffee in plastic mini-creamers. EDIT: applies to NY/NJ, US
- coldtea 2y ago>Where? I've been most places and never encountered this See my answer above. Did you ask for one of the styles with cream, or specifically for cream?
- kyykky 2y agoEspresso/cappuccino usage will increase cholesterol in blood. Consider drinking filtered coffee instead.
- rich_sasha 2y agoIs that right? You make me concerned. Could you suggest a source please? Thank you.

- globular-toast 2y agoCoffee does contain oils that will "increase cholesterol" (meaning increase LDL/bad cholesterol specifically). Filters reduce the oil significantly but unfiltered methods like cafetière and espresso (which is the basis of cappuccino etc) let it all through. It's something to think about if your drinking many unfiltered coffees a day. It is possible to add a filter to espresso if you brew it yourself.
- potatoman22 2y agoFor those like me: Cafetière means "French press."
- etrautmann 2y agoHow much oil relative to eating some cheese? I imagine it’s not much.
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agohttps://academic.oup.com/mend/article/21/7/1603/2738489 https://academic.oup.com/mend/article/21/7/1603/2738489 > Cafestol, a diterpene present in unfiltered coffee brews such as Scandinavian boiled, Turkish, and cafetière coffee, is the most potent cholesterol-elevating compound known in the human diet.
- animal531 2y agoIs it actually cream they put in? So weird, why not just use milk?
- joecool1029 2y agoCan't make a cappuccino with heavy whipping cream it won't foam. Half and half is doable. As for why cream or half and half, less sugar and lactose.
- adamfeldman 2y agoWhole milk works fine and is more commonly used
- adamfeldman 2y agoCan’t delete my comment any more, misread the parent comment while it was too early in the morning!
- xboxnolifes 2y agoA bit of light cream is so much better in coffee than milk.
- xboxnolifes 2y agoA bit of light cream is so much better in coffee than milk. Or rather: Is it actually milk you put in coffee? So weird, why not use cream?
- rayiner 2y agoMcDonalds puts cream and sugar in your coffee by default.
- unethical_ban 2y ago"cream" for coffee can be half and half, milk, that coffee mate sugary stuff, or powdered non dairy creamer.
- camdenreslink 2y agoWhen Americans put "cream" in their coffee, it's often actually milk. Especially if they are making it at home (most people I know don't keep half-and-half in the fridge just for coffee). So kind of a cousin of a cappuccino.
