I've had 4 cups of coffee in my life, during college. I had to get up at 5 one semester for a class at 7. I had one black, one sugar, one cream and one cream and sugar. It didn't matter how loaded it was with stuff, it was still nasty. The combined cup was so thick with sugar the spoon would stand up and so thick with milk it was barely tan. It didn't start that way. I just kept adding thinking maybe I'd get to the point where it became tolerable. Nope. It's ew ew icky poo no matter what you do to it. I just stick with my d.p. now.
