An Expert Explains Why You Should Never Sweeten Your Coffee and Drink It Bitter
A Simple Recipe to Start Without Sugar
For a smooth transition, this preparation highlights the natural aromas of coffee, without any hint of added sweetness.
18 g of freshly ground specialty coffee beans
250 ml of filtered water, heated to 90–92 °C
A gentle brewing method (paper filter, V60, or French press)
Pour the water slowly over the ground coffee in several stages to ensure balanced extraction. Let it brew for approximately 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on the grind and brewing method.
The result: a fuller-bodied cup with naturally sweet, sometimes fruity or chocolatey notes, making sugar completely unnecessary.
Tasting tip: Sip the coffee while it’s still warm but not scalding. This is the temperature at which the aromas are best released.
An Experiment, Not a Rule
There’s no obligation. Coffee remains a personal pleasure, a comforting ritual, sometimes even a refuge. But if you’d like to rediscover this beverage in a different way, without sugar, the experience is definitely worth trying.
