You know, the ones you get in all the takeaway coffee places. For me, “one sugar” = one teaspoon of sugar, which is a lot more than you get in these tiny sachets. I’d call one of those half a sugar, so if I wanted two sugars in my coffee I’d use four sachets.

  1. Yes some places will use decent sugar like Silver Spoon sachets, others will use some piss poor effort of a sugar where I’ll need 4 sachets to make it work

  2. Always use 3 x sachets.

    Unless they’re the expensive hotel ones which are actually a teaspoons worth.

  3. I like 2 decent sugars in my tea. The sachets in my local hospital are tiny. Need like 5 of them.

  4. Nah, half a teaspoon per sachet personally.

    I still worry people think I’m a scruff for putting 4 in my large coffee in the morning though.

  5. A rounded teaspoon of sugar is about 5g.

    Most sugar sachets are 2.5-3g. Some fuller sticks may be 3.5g and some smaller sachets may be 2g.

    You don’t see cubes very often, but when you do they will probably be 4-5g each.

    TL;DR your estimation is pretty much bang on.
