Oh the same of it,
Sailorbob8599 milk in my coffee. It was even worse, it was instant coffee rather than properly brewed stuff. A taking milk in my coffee, I do apologise.
However I understand the problem. One thing I found was changing what went into the coffee cup was a problem. First one had to get used to the idea of sticking some dark brown powder in a cup, adding
water, & then expecting the result to be coffee.
Then changing the brand of brown powder gives a different taste to your flavoured
water. Then changing from milk, the real cow juice, to a coffee whitener, Coffee Mate in the islands, then to one of the various brands of powdered milk all gave a different tasting brew.
One could get used to any of them given time, but I found it best to standardise. It was no good using real milk when in a port then changing to another whitener when out & about.
I found a particular brand of powdered milk gave the best "milk" when reconstituted, but needed 24 hours to brew after mixing to make it palatable on cereal, & you could carry a years supply. Thus you did not have to change to what was available in a different island group, you just had to mix your white stuff 24 hours before use.
So sorry, I'm afraid I am just too decadent to take my coffee black, & besides, when a sudden lurch can put your coffee in your lap, rather than your mouth,
cooling it a little with a liquid from the fridge before passing it to the
cockpit is not a bad idea.
