It is funny how our coffee habits change over time. I never liked milk in it but always used cream 10% or 18%. I started with sugar and cream, then just cream and now mostly black with cream on occasion. The coffee in France is a lot better than the stuff in Canada so drinking it black is actually preferable. The caffeine in coffee is very addictive though and the quantity of cups almost always increases for people it seems. It definitely did for me as well. I've been forcing myself to have only one mug a day lately. I sleep terribly when I have too much and notice that I start to clench my teeth a lot. My jaw hurts by the end of the day hahaha. I get a major headache when I don't have a cup though too lol.
