Mar 10, 2015 at 0:02 comment added hardmath The Question is inconsistently worded: You were told sugar adds a sour taste. You do not put sugar "at all in my coffee". You "always preach to people that do" that it ruins their coffee. Finally, "I tried having coffee without sugar". I thought you said you never use sugar in coffee?? Sure, espresso particularly can have a sour taste, but this has nothing to do with sugar that was not added to it.

Mar 5, 2015 at 16:17 comment added hoc_age Sugar produces the perception of sweetness, not sourness. If anything, sugar reduces the perception of sourness. My comments overflowed this space; continued below. Or am I misunderstanding your question?
