For folks who don't want to drink their coffee black, erythritol and monkfruit powder make fine zero calorie substitutes. For a lot of things, actually.

Modern zero calorie sweeteners are really impressive. We've come a long way from the days of saccharine.



Black, one sucralose packet per 10 to 20 oz and that's fine for me.

I know that's a wide range, but you can't really do "half-packets" easily and the cup sizes I use vary.


My favorite sweetener is a sucralose/stevia mix in highly concentrated liquid form. You can’t find it in the US, I get it from an importer:

About 6 drops is a teaspoon, so 125ml lasts forever. It is much more concentrated than other versions in the US.

The pure stevia versions and pure sucralose versions are okay, but for whatever reason the mix is really just perfect.


Thanks! I'll try this when I run out of my current bottle of sucralose (from Capella, which also makes interesting flavor additives). Shortages have made it occasionally hard to restock and I've yet to really try stevia as a sweetener that I personally add (as opposed to something already added) so I'm gonna enjoy trying something new.


Sucralose is such a godsend. Cheap, meters extremely easily with a liquid dropper, mixes incredibly well into most things, has no bad taste (at least to me).
