It’s not always the coffee – it’s everything around it
Many people are careful about desserts and snacks but forget to look at what’s going into their coffee.
Common places sugar hides:
-
Powdered creamers
-
Flavored syrups (even “skinny” ones)
-
Sweetened plant milks (especially oat and almond milks)
-
Ready-to-drink cold brews and bottled lattes
-
“Sugar-free” products that still contain carbs or sugar alcohols
Why this matters if you’re watching glucose
These add-ons can quietly turn your morning coffee into a blood-sugar roller coaster, even if you’re using a clean coffee like DripZero.
Simple swaps to reduce surprise spikes
-
Choose unsweetened versions of milks and creamers
-
Use a small amount of sweetener you tolerate well, instead of multiple syrups
-
Flavor with cinnamon, cocoa, or a splash of vanilla extract
-
Check labels: look at total carbs and sugars per serving, not just the marketing words
DripZero’s role
DripZero keeps the beans simple and clean, so any sugar in your cup is something you chose, not something that snuck in.
