We've had the debate on Jaffa Cakes (yes they really are cakes!)and now moving on there's just one more burning question....
Hot water in your coffee before or after the milk.......?
I'm a milk first then hot water kinda guy

Definitely milk first. Burn the coffee otherwise.

Mixture or emulsion?
Easier to measure a mixture although the emulsion is easier on the eye

Theoretically as boiling water burns the coffee you should put the milk in first, however I would suggest letting the water go off the boil then add in the water finally the milk.....but then I prefer a latte...

You must leave the water come off the boil first. Otherwise the coffee loses its flavour and tastes tinny.

I have a coffee machine and I always put the milk in last I always think that if boiling water gets poured onto milk it turns it into sterilized milk and I hate that sterilized milk taste reminds me of my childhood being forced to drink it

I do believe, milk was always put into the cup first..
Years ago bone china was used, too pour boiling water, into said china, teacup.. would craze the glaze, and obviously spoil, said bone china cup.

Ok. Here is the sciencey answer.
1. First in instant coffee, other wise you singe the coffee.
2. Doesn't really matter if cafetiere, but I do milk first.
3. In tea it should be second, or it prevents the tea disolving properly.

That's my 2 pence

If its tea then milk second as tea only brews right in boiling water.
Coffee its a drop or 2 of cold water first to stop the hot water scalding the coffee then milk if you must but far better without. Don't put milk in first or it smells like sick and that's cos the boiling water turned the milk sour.
