Why are you used to drinking American coffee with a little milk but not a latte?

Some people are afraid of bitterness, others want to make the taste smoother by mixing milk. Is there any other reason?

But the latte is too much milk for them (or doesn't like foam).

Baristas can understand these feelings and habits, and we are not born to drink fine coffee. Of course, we drink a lot of rotten coffee that has to be sweetened and milked or it can't get into the throat.

But the premise of these habits is that "the coffee itself is so bad that it must be done in order to taste good." now that coffee roasting has become refined, it has long been rid of the image of bitter baking in the past, and baristas hope to make people understand the taste of coffee again. therefore, we want you to taste palatable, sweet, layered and nutritious coffee instead of milk.

There is no question of whether it is right or not. We do not have to accept the rule that stores do not add milk sugar, but it is also good to have a new horizon after adaptation.
