PSA: My friend in Seattle says you should never add cream to a pour-over
Last week at the cafe on 5th Street, she argued it ruins the subtle fruity notes, while I think a tiny splash just smooths out the acidity. Has anyone else had this debate with their coffee crew?

My uncle puts ice cream in his espresso, which is a whole other level of wrong.

Oh man, this is the eternal fight. I read an interview with a roaster who said adding any dairy is like putting ketchup on sushi, it just overpowers everything. But honestly, my Wednesday morning coffee needs a little shield from the bitterness.

That "shield from the bitterness" line is so true. Some days you want to taste the fancy notes, and other days you just need a creamy drink to get through the morning. The coffee snobs can keep their pure espresso.
