For a perfect cup of coffee, it’s crucial to know the ideal sugar-to-cream ratio and the correct order to add them. Adding sugar before the cream will yield the best results.

Since sugar dissolves faster in hot liquids, adding it before pouring in the coffee will help prevent a grainy residue at the bottom, especially if the sugar has large crystals.

For iced coffee, add sugar followed by cream to hot coffee before shaking it with ice. Alternatively, for cold iced coffee, consider using simple syrup for added convenience.
