Milk or cream - which of these coffee additives is better?

Many people do not see the fundamental difference.

And in vain, because one of the two above-mentioned options is much better suited for the popular invigorating drink.

We are talking about cream. This is what should be added to coffee.

This recommendation was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.

Why is cream better than milk?

The answer is simple: cream has a higher fat content.

It is for this reason that this dairy product goes better with coffee than milk.

Thanks to the cream, the invigorating drink acquires softness and a very pleasant aroma. The bitterness goes away, and the sweetness begins to be felt well.

But milk doesn't improve the taste of coffee that much.

This additive is used, rather, to quickly make the temperature of the invigorating drink more acceptable.

Therefore, if you have the opportunity to pour cream into your coffee, then add it, not milk.

The only downside of the creamy additive is its slightly higher caloric content. This point may be important for people who are losing weight.
