I'm at about 1,5 teaspoon per cup (the cup i use is about 150 ml) moka-pot-coffee, but trying put less in it.

Nasty Stuff that sugar...I prefer it balck and straight, that way you get all the flavours etc. Tried honey, but that went badly wrong. Saying that I used to have a double shot with equal parts condensed milk....that was nice!!!

I'm talking about a 1.5oz shot.... (0.04 liter) so if I would use 1.5 spoon of sugar there would be more sugar than coffee in the cup ;)

When I use a moka pot and have a big cuppa then 1 teaspoon of sugar.

No sugar needed unless a roast goes really wrong.

Cheers,

I think I figured it out: continentals drink sugar in their coffee, UK inhabitants don't.
