Nespresso - Arpeggio Coffee Capsules (1 grams), Brown Sugar (1 Tsp Unpacked) and Water (100 Ml)

Use less brown sugar, tapering by 1/4 teaspoon at a time; enhance sweetness perception with cinnamon, vanilla extract, or unsweetened cocoa powder instead.

Avoid adding brown sugar on an empty stomach; have the coffee after a balanced meal or alongside protein- and fiber-rich options such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, or a small handful of nuts.

Choose a non-sugar sweetener such as stevia or monk-fruit extract for some or all of the sweetness.

Add a splash of unsweetened dairy milk or unsweetened soy milk to the coffee; the protein and fat may soften the glucose response compared with sugar alone.

Drink the coffee more slowly and avoid pairing it with sweet pastries, juice, or other refined carbohydrates.

Take a brief 10–20 minute easy walk after drinking the sweetened coffee, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
