Coffee with half-and-half, unsweetened, is brewed coffee with a milk-and-cream blend and no added sugar. Half-and-half gives the drink a creamier texture than milk alone without the richness of adding heavy cream.
Brew your coffee, then stir in half-and-half without adding sugar. You can serve it hot or pour cooled coffee over ice; adjust the amount of half-and-half to get the creaminess you like.
Coffee with half-and-half is richer and creamier than coffee with milk because half-and-half combines milk and cream. Use milk for a lighter taste, or half-and-half when you want a fuller texture without using straight cream.
Yes, it can contain a small amount of naturally occurring milk sugar, called lactose, even though no sugar is added. “Unsweetened” means the coffee has no added sweetener; it does not mean the dairy ingredient is sugar-free.
It can, although it usually blends smoothly. Very hot, acidic coffee and cold half-and-half make curdling more likely; let the coffee cool slightly or warm the half-and-half before stirring it in.
Yes, half-and-half works well in unsweetened iced coffee. Pour cooled coffee over ice, add the half-and-half, and stir; cooling the coffee first helps keep the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the drink.
Yes, you can froth half-and-half for coffee. Its combination of milk and cream creates a creamy foam, though the texture may differ from foam made with regular milk and depends on your frother and the product.
Half-and-half can soften coffee’s sharp, acidic taste, but it does not reliably change the coffee’s actual acidity. If your coffee tastes too sharp, a darker roast or a less acidic brewing method may make a more noticeable difference.
No, adding half-and-half does not remove the caffeine from coffee. The caffeine amount is determined by the coffee and how it is brewed; using decaffeinated coffee is the way to make this drink low in caffeine.
Keep coffee with half-and-half at room temperature for no more than two hours; in a hot setting, refrigerate it sooner. If you are not drinking it right away, put it in the refrigerator rather than leaving it on the counter.

Coffee with half-and-half, unsweetened, is brewed coffee served with half-and-half—a dairy blend of milk and cream—and no added sugar. The combination is especially familiar in the United States, where people commonly add it to a mug of coffee at home or order it alongside breakfast.
Half-and-half softens coffee’s roasted bitterness with a mild, creamy taste, while leaving more of its coffee character than a very milky drink. It works well with breakfast or a mid-morning break, and you can adjust the amount to taste. At about 21 calories per 100 g, it remains a relatively light coffee drink; use a splash rather than a generous pour if you want to keep it lighter.
