Boy, you've got a weird definition of coffee. Real men drink real coffee.
Coffee with sugar is tantamount to candy. ;-)

To lighten the subject a bit, have you ever had a cup of fresh black coffee
out in the sunlight? It looks just exactly like that brown goo that you
drain out of your crankcase when you need an oil change. (I'm assuming it
has something to do with backscatter.)
