Never could understand why folks would put milk and sugar in coffee??

Isn't there something inherently wrong with drinking black colored water?

Taste buds vary from person to person. It's also a matter of personal choice or local customs.

At any take-outs in the USA, if I order coffee without "elaboration", the vendor usually asks how I want my coffee. In contrast, every time I order coffee in Hong Kong-style coffee shops & fast food chains, and if I am not quick enough to "customize" my request, milk & sugar are already mixed in the coffee.

If I am not mistaken, all pre-packaged instant coffee (and some tea) packets sold in China & in Hong Kong come with powdered creamer & sugar already mixed in the packets. I believe the coffee served on Chinese airlines is not "fresh brewed" but made from the pre-packaged instant packets.

i like the cold coffee with creamer . but when i am going for dinner party i often use hot one .
