Can you use confectioners sugar in coffee?

While it is possible to use confectioners' sugar (also known as powdered sugar) in coffee, it may not dissolve as easily as granulated sugar and could leave a gritty texture. Confectioners' sugar contains added cornstarch to prevent caking, which can add an unwanted flavor to coffee and affect its consistency.

Granulated sugar is the most common type of sugar used in coffee as it dissolves quickly and provides a consistent sweetness. For those looking for a sugar alternative without the potential drawbacks of confectioners' sugar, consider using brown sugar, coconut sugar, or a liquid sweetener like simple syrup or honey. These alternatives can enhance the coffee experience with various flavor profiles and dissolvability.
