Same here, black always when out.... there are people out there who can't be trusted with cream.

Sorry if this sounds daft but the only coffee with cream I’ve ever had is Irish coffee but struggle with the cream sitting on the top. Do you stir the cream in to your coffee so it disperses and therefore would I know the difference between milk and cream. I am sorry but I dont like cream unless its invisible.

On the subject of extra thick double cream, I think that is just double cream with a bit of gelatin or similar in to make it set.
Don't forget the butter!
I think I’ve missed something here. Why do you all have cream with coffee, why not milk?

I have just done likewise.Coffee gives me a headache so I have my double cream (preferably Jersey ) with yoghurt and a few berries

@LittleGreyCat Do you have a recipe for coffee with butter? Or do you simply make the coffee then dollop a knob of butter in it and stir?It is counter intuitive but skimmed milk is the least healthy for T2 diabetics.
Once you take all the fat out then you are left with mainly lactose. The "ose" is a clue that this is a sugar.
If you look at the nutritional information on milk products you will realise that double cream (and full fat yoghurt) have the least carbohydrates per 100 grams compared to the low fat and fat free options.
If you are trying to eat less carbohydrate and more fat then double cream is a big winner.
Coffee with butter and double cream is a breakfast all by itself.
If you are controlling diabetes with a low carb diet then milk is something you need to consider as part of the total carbs for the day. Milk is about 5% carbs so say 40ml in a cup of tea is about 2g of carbs. Whether this is significant or not depends on your carb target and how many cups of tea you have.Are you lot telling me that putting milk in coffee or tea is not good for diabetics ?. Iv only just managed to drink it without the sugar weaning myself off the last few weeks
