I take it with cream or black -- never with sugar unless I'm having a vietnamese coffee in which case I'll take it with condensed milk.
How do I make it?
If I have a large group of people for coffee I will use the french press or the old skool ADC machine.

Never had it until a few years ago at a Vietnamese restaurant with the layer of sweetened condensed milk at the bottom and was awed by how I'd never knew this type of brewing existed and then by how good it tasted. We bought a coffee maker at the restaurant cashier and we may have used it twice. It's somewhere in the drawer with the banana slicer and avocado peeler.

Re: Coffee - how do you take it?
I haven't had one of the Vietnamese coffees in a very long time. It's the level of sweetness that my brain says no to that keeps me away. I'd probably be ok with it but my memory still holds of the first time.

Re the sweetness of coffee. I know what two teaspoons of sugar tastes like in a cup of coffee. It's sweet. I usually take mine black but lately - maybe it something that comes with age - I enjoy some sweetness and two teaspoons of sugar is fine. I have always wondered, however, what would 16 teaspoons of sugar dissolved in a cup of coffee taste like? Would it be dangerous? Unbelievably delicious? One day I am going to try my experiment.

I don't mind tea without sugar but I think coffee needs it as it's such a bitter drink.

It would taste like Vietnamese coffee.

Re: Coffee - how do you take it?
You CAN make vietnamese style coffee without the sweetened condensed milk. That's what I usually do as I am pre-diabetic and I actually don't like sweet coffee much. It's called cà phê đen.
