Coffee with a splash of milk
Can fit, but the portion, preparation, or current symptoms may change how coffee with a splash of milk feels.
Why it received this rating

Portion and preparation guidance
The splash of milk blunts coffee's acidity a little, which some people find gentler during queasy stretches; otherwise treat it like black coffee.
Symptoms or considerations
Same empty-stomach caution as black coffee. If dairy is an issue for you, lactose-free milk keeps the same effect.
