Coffee Sweeteners: There is an abundance of sweeteners available for those who are interested. (By the way even in Peru where they grow coffee people drink coffee in a plethora of ways: black, sweet and even with milk.)

• Sugar: White, Cane, Raw, Molasses, Panela/Pilloncillo (pure unrefined cane sugar) : each can add a unique flavor.
• Sugar substitutes: Sucralose, Saccharin, Aspartame, Stevia, Sugar alcohols (polyols): These can be helpful for counting calories or diabetics. (For those with diabetes please consult your doctor.)
• Milk, Creamers, and Sweetened condensed milk can have sugars in them: each can add a unique flavor.
• Sugar/flavors: White chocolate, Dark chocolate are great flavors along with providing sweetness.

There is a multitude of options and even more than listed here. If you are going for the coffee bean (technically seed) taste choose your sugar/flavor enhancers wisely. Because some will cover that coffee taste right up if too much is used. (But maybe that is what you want, to each their own.)

Fresh Roasted Coffee Tip: When should I start using my fresh roasted coffee? Short answer: Right away!

• The fun thing about fresh roasted coffee is that it can have different flavor subtleties. For example a blend roast we did yesterday: smelled right off of a cinnamon roll, chocolate, caramel drizzle then around 4-5 hours latter moved into a more plum smell. This profile may continue to change over the next few days.
• So try your fresh roast right away and expect to have some fun taste tests over the next few days as you continue to fellow-sip your coffee.
• We’d recommend you don’t let your fresh roast sit too long or it may begin to become more like the coffee that sits on the shelf at the store (who knows when that coffee was roasted).

Built-in Automatic Grinder Coffee Tip: Does your machine instruct you not to add oily beans or flavors into your automatic coffee grinder & brewer?

• (How to get Dry Beans) Make sure to choose between Light, Light-Medium or Medium Roast. (These roasts don’t have the shiny surface oil like the darker roasts.)
• (What to do with Oily Beans) If you really like your Medium-Dark or Dark roast double check your machine’s manual and see if you can grind it in a separate grinder and then put it in your machine.
• (What to do with Flavors) If you really like your flavors double check your machine’s manual and see if you can grind it in a separate grinder and then put it in your machine.
