Guess it depends on personal taste.
I steer clear of the big companies if I want a real coffee, and seek out the independent places. They are generally staffed by people who know their beans and blends, and will ask what my tastes are.
Sometimes, in fact usually, I use instant coffees at home. I don’t have the patience to grind beans and percolate the grounds. I am also a bit lazy in that respect.
Today has been particularly hot, and I haven’t felt like eating much. Iced coffee has sustained me. I do sometimes go out to buy one, but today just chucked a couple of teaspoons Alta Rica in a jug , dissolved in hot, not quite boiling water, added handful of ice cubes, and some whisked coconut milk. I repeated that twice, adding coconut cream to one. No syrups. No sweeteners. Like my coffee flavour to be most prominent.
Thinking of trying this tomorrow,
Semi-sweet with iced almond milk, this whipped coffee is a low carb version of a popular caffeinated drink. Known as dalgona in Korea, frappe or whipped coffee in Greece, and beaten coffee in India, you’ll soon know it as a quick and refreshing iced coffee treat.

but not sure about the sweetness of the erythritol . Though it seems to need that for the thickening.? Will definitely leave out the vanilla. That is just for ice cream. Not coffee or beer. Coffee should taste of coffee. Beer should taste of beer. But that is just may personal taste.
