Sweetening your coffee

My first time trying Gevalia beans was in late '90s. the woman I lived with was part of the staff of this Italian restaurant. She knew and taught me a lot about cooking and food. Stopped drinking it in '99 , but started again last year. They've come along way.

Well noted about your cooking tips.

Thanks to all you guys. Composing the OP I was sure I'd be mercilessly attacked

My former brother-in-law told me that when he worked in a café or fast food place, it's the practice of the servers to put milk/cream in first, then the sweetener. this way they didn't need to dirty a spoon as the swirling coffee would stir up the ingredients.

Yes Rag, thanks for summarizing my OP so adroitly

Mr Coffee incidentally now has a feature called "Pause & Serve," that stops brewing if you remove the carafe. I wonder if anyone knows whether it's a new invention

Yes I tried Googling it but unsuccessfully

no ... not new at all. Decades old..simple tech.

Thanks Rag, it's not everyday…..
