Had an old acquaintance tell me he always put cheese in coffee, I don't remember if he added creamer or not. Apparently he said it was a puertorriqueño thing? Was I being gaslit or is this an actual thing?

Maybe like is a strong word, but drinking coffee black is no common. Like they need to get that brown color as well as some sweet bread.

Aside from being cheap and having shelf life, is there a good powdered creamer, or is it just cheap and shelf stable?

I think its the latter. Personally I prefer to just use cream. I also don't mind instant coffee if I will use some milk. Which is another thing. They also tend to use instant coffee.

Growing up having a coffee machine of any kind was not really a thing I saw. Tho maybe its regional as the LatAm im talking about is North East Mex.
