k0sTiMemberDo you have any tips (especially the people who don't like coffee and drink it just for it's benefits) how to make it taste better? (apart from CO)I tried adding a little bit stevia, cocoa, coconut milk, cinnamon (not at once) but it didn't help that much...

Trevor G FullbrightModeratorTaking caffeine pills.There isn't much you could do, apart from heavy cream which gives it the best flavor in my opinion.Also try adding 10g of whey.

k0sTiMemberI've just tried this: coffee + some stevia + shot of whiskey + HWCWorks very, VERY well with me.... best coffee I've ever had!I know, alcohol isn't very tolerated on CNS/CBL, but one shot should not do much damage 🙂

GroogruxGuestI used to be a barista back in the day.The key to making coffee taste good is making good coffee. If you aren't already, try drinking stuff other than Folger's/Maxwell House. Even if you have to settle for Starbucks (which I do, because my nearest local roastery is three hours away) it can still make a world of difference. Try coffee from different regions too.Coffee from South America usually has a higher caffeine content, it's a little more acidic, and it often has fruity and flowery overtones. African coffees are mid-range in caffeine, they are right between acidic and bitter, and they have fruity and earthy tones to them. Asian coffee has the lowest natural caffeine content, it's bitter, dark, and has more of a spice or herbal taste to it.If you use a drip maker, be sure that it is clean and working properly. Make it a little bit darker than what is recommended, but don't brew it too hot if you can avoid it.If you have access to them, get a French Press or an Aeropress. These make dark, rich coffees that really bring out the flavor of the bean and where it was grown.The last thing, as far as the making process goes, is to grind your own beans if you can. The fresher the grounds are, the fresher the coffee will taste.When it comes to adding flavor to it, I use HWC and some Splenda. The splenda just sweetens the coffee a little bit, taking away some of the bitter flavor. The HWC does a lot of the work though. I like to brew African coffees and the HWC brings out the earthy and roasted flavors in the been. It's delish.
