That's reasonable. I would, however, recommend feeling out one's taste before going that route. There is a distinct change to the flavour when adding even just a bit of dairy. I think it would be best to find out what coffees you like before finding out whether you'd prefer to add fixings to them. I know I was the better for it. Mind you, I do sometimes add things to my cup to change things up a bit—certainly when it comes to espresso...if I want a latte, for example. I will always stick to my advice of experimenting.

Good advice on the ethical approach to coffee, snowy.
