However you brew your coffee, making it with water and then adding double cream as [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] suggests, allows the coffee flavour to shine through.  The chances are you would use less cream than your current semi-skimmed milk consumption, so that too would reduce your carbohydrate intake.</blockquote>
