Hi,

Which one is correct? Coffee and sugar or coffee with sugar?

I am not a professional teacher but my answer would be "both", or, if you prefer, "either". Just like the drink itself, the choice is a matter of taste. "With" might be slightly more common, often paired with "or without?", but it's common to hear "and sugar?" or "and milk?" as well.

That's what I thought too. Thanks!

My God, how many teaspoons do you guys put in your coffee? I've heard of 'half and half milk', but a cup half coffee and half sugar?!
When asking, one usually says, 'With or without", meaning, do you want your coffee with milk (or sugar) or not.
I think the expression you might mean is, coffee with milk and sugar.

What about: "Coffee with sugar and milk"?

Perfect.
...and extra milk for me please.

It will get sour when it'll arrive to UK! ;-)

I think coffee with sugar is correct and not coffee and sugar, because in the latter case coffee and sugar are distinctly two separate items. No one takes the items separately
