Usually when people put milk into coffee it is assumed that coffee takes the most part and milk is just some "addition" to it, on par with sugar. This is evidenced by how they say "coffee with milk" and never "milk with coffee". Well, I like it reverse. I like "milk with coffee". Having "milk with coffee" will allow me to fully enjoy the taste of coffee without the experience being ruined by its bitterness. Have any of you tried it?

it is called café reversé (french. coffee reversed) and koffie verkeerd (dutch. coffee wrong)

café au lait… (french. coffee with milk) can be bought in any decent café, and is usually served with a large quantity of steamed milk.

i drink my coffee not very strong, lukewarm or cold and black. lots of it.

As far as "coffee wrong" I looked it up and saw a picture that reminded me of the kind of coffee they serve where the whhite stuff is on top and below it there is more coffee. Because of white stuff on top the sight might be misleading as you would htink "it is mostly milk" when this in fact is not the case. What I am talking about is when there is ACTUALLY mostly milk, when everything is mixed evenly without any misleading sights.

Me too.

I drink my coffee with 10% milk or half/half or cream but usually milk and two sugars. If I'm eating something sweet, I like my coffee black to counter it. I can't do too much sweet at one time, it makes me sick.
