Quick answerBoth are fine. Try Yemeni coffee black first to appreciate its fruit and cocoa notes. Milk softens bitterness and works especially well in spiced Yemeni lattes, cappuccinos and mochas. Whole milk, oat milk and evaporated milk all pair nicely with medium-dark Yemeni coffee.
Best milk choices
- Whole milk: creamy, sweet
- Oat milk: natural sweetness, foams well
- Evaporated milk: rich, used in some Yemeni homes
- Almond milk: lighter, nutty
