I normally have a little something to eat with my espresso in the morning, although what I have varies from day to day. As we all know, eating something with espresso, or any other drink, can change the taste of the drink. So I was wondering what you all tend to eat, if anything, with espresso.

I usually don't eat anything with it as the drink itself is so small (36ml). When I have a flat white in the morning, I usually have a couple of rich tea biscuits. My internet search tells me there are no equivalent in the USA. :-)

Nothing to eat until about 10 am unless I am travelling. One or two long blacks in the morning; my first coffee is at around 7:30; the second after quarter past 8; and a flat white with breakfast after 10. My appetite will go for a toss if I don’t drink black. :-)

> @"wilburpan"#p36248 So I was wondering what you all tend to eat, if anything, with espresso. I don't mix drinks (coffee, beer, wine) with food. I like to keep things separate, and find that food changes the taste of the drink. With food I drink water.

Only water, to reset my taste buds from time to time. I fast till 12 a clock anyway and there's so much going on in the coffee cup to mix it with smth else.

Overnight oats: whole milk, frozen summer berries, fresh blueberries and banana, peanut butter and maple syrup. I’ll sometimes have some sourdough toast as well, peanut butter and jam, if I’ve got/had a long run, 10 miles+. I usually drink my espresso before touching my food though to avoid mixing flavours.

I’m quite confused by the replies in this thread. I thought the OP is asking what we eat WITH an espresso, while sipping it, not what we eat before or after. If the latter is the case, then I can say I often have lunch, which could be a variety of things from beans on toast to miso soup with chicken feet. 🫤 🤷♂️

> @"MediumRoastSteam"#p36274 I thought the OP is asking what we eat WITH an espresso Yes! In the morning…. That’s my understanding as well. But, the OP doesn’t indicate if it’s the first cup in the morning or at any time in the morning.

@"LMSC"#p36275 - Ok. I think I understand. I focused strictly on the preposition “with”. When the OP wrote “_So I was wondering what you all tend to eat, if anything, with espresso_” I assumed the OP meant “So I was wondering what you all tend to eat, if anything, _whilst_ drinking espresso” rather than _before_ having espresso or _afterwards_.

@"MediumRoastSteam"#p36277 I would like to think your rewording is correct!

What do you eat with your espresso?

A double ristretto at 6 am with biscotti. Simple.

I drink the espresso in two or three sips, let it coat the mouth and delay eating or drinking anything until either the taste has gone or I stop enjoying it…which typically means having a shot before getting in the shower or having one after breakfast.

I’m a creature of habit. A banana with my morning latte.
