Many people start their day with a cup of aromatic coffee, which charges them with energy and mood. And to make the coffee even tastier and more aromatic, many use various additives to it, completely forgetting about rationality.

Therefore, it is worth remembering a few additives that can spoil the taste of this drink.

Sugar

Sugar is one of the most common additives in coffee.

Many people like to add sugar, but too much sweetness can mask the natural flavors of coffee and turn it into just sweet water.

In addition, excess sugar concentration has a negative impact on health.

Low fat milk

Many people boldly add milk to coffee, trying to significantly improve the taste of the drink.

However, if we consider low-fat milk, then it is definitely not worth using. The fact is that skim milk will not allow you to create the desired foam, and the drink will end up watery.

Vanilla syrup

Vanilla syrup is another popular additive that is meant to give coffee a sweeter, more aromatic taste.

However, using too much of this syrup can overpower the natural flavors of coffee. Vanilla syrup also contains added sugar, which increases the calorie content of the drink without adding much nutritional benefit.

Spices

Some coffee lovers prefer to add the following spices:

1) cinnamon;

2) ginger;

3) cardamom and others.

Spices can add a special flavor to a drink. However, if you make a mistake in the dosage, the taste will be spoiled.

You also need to understand that spices can differ. A simple example: you can buy cinnamon in another store, and it will have a completely different taste and aroma. Therefore, adding spices to coffee is always risky.
