I use a tablespoon of frothed Coffee Mate Italian Creme to make my morning cortado. Otherwise my Illy espresso machine makes a fairly bitter brew. Probably due to it being an Iper-capsule type of machine.
But i do like cutting my coffee w a mildly flavored cream of some sort. When i get a professional doppio espresso they are usually less bitter than the versions i make myself, and i drink them without creamer.

I add a splash of vigorously shaken half & half to imitate frothed. I can’t drink coffee black, unless it is espresso.

I am not a gadget guy but this $10 frother has earned a special place in my heart. It has its own stand and it cleans quickly. It makes my homemade cortado much smoother.

Oh, I have a frothing attachment on my Mueller stick blender — I just can’t be arsed to put it together, and enjoy madly shaking that half & half for the same results

I admit, I buy one bag of pumpkin spiced coffee beans in the fall, to make pumpkin spice drip coffee at home.
I keep it far away from the house coffee supply because it would be traumatic for my DCs. LOL

I find them cute. We also have butter tart and Nanaimo bar booze, made by various small distilleries across Ontario. I have gifted them but I haven’t tried any yet.

those are handy for making Greek Nescafe Frappes, too.
