This is another area where I’m a weird outlier. I like milk. I drink it with every meal, where other people drink water, wine, or beer.
Milk fat content has some bearing. I’m not fond of anything below 2%. If I could get away with drinking whole milk I would, but, y’know, calories.
My wife doesn’t like milk. Her theory is that it’s because she grew up drinking nonfat milk, which even I agree isn’t great tasting.

Did she? I mean, yeah, I agree, that’s what it looks like, but did that happen?
We don’t see the transfer. Yemisi’s hands are off-panel left and then she’s got coffee, so it’s entirely plausible she poured some from the French Press, and Iris still has her cup.
Yes, the mug says “fuck you,” but they may own multiple “fuck you” mugs.
EDIT: I’m probably wrong. Yemisi’s hand is off-panel in panel 1, but she doesn’t have coffee until panel 3, and it sure does look like Iris is handing over the mug in panel 2. I thought she was just gesturing.

On an unrelated note, Pintsize is now apparently wearing his tie as a belt.

This is giving me flashbacks to the androids from the Alien(s) movies. Though that milk white stuff they use for blood isn’t very viscous.

I don't consider anything below 2% to be milk. It's a milk-derived substance. The taste is wrong, the texture is wrong.
As to calories - low-fat milk still has milk sugars in it. Full-fat milk is more filling, so you'll end up drinking less of it by volume.
I vaguely recall reading a summary of a study where two groups of volunteers were drinking full-fat milk vs no-fat milk. The group drinking the no-fat milk put on more weight on average than the full-fat group *or* the control group, in a statistically significant way.
sitnspin:
I drink coffee like it is water. Always black. Coffee needs no additives. Unless it's whisky. But even then, I prefer my two favourite beverage separate.
