That's oddly counterintuitive, seeing how the taste of coffee is
only enjoyable when it's sweetened in the first place.  As for
milk, I don't like a little milk in my coffee; rather, I like a
little coffee in my milk.  I'm a hardcore latte aficionado.  ;-)
In particular, people who pay a fortune for an espresso machine
only to get toxic, bitter, sour elixirs in microscopic doses,
most of which end up as a dried-up stain in the cup, meet with my
total lack of sympathy.  The only acceptable use for espresso is
to make lattes, at which point you might as well use instant
coffee.  So sue me.  >:-D

And to stave of counter-questions, no, I'm not gay.  ;o))
