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?
