My only complaint is that if he makes amazing coffee then it shouldn't need that much sugar.

What if I were to tell you that some people like sweet things and coffee beans aren't sweet no matter how good they are?

Looking closer at the image, the entire cup is sugar cubes. That really is quite a lot of sugar.

I understand people have preferences and that is totally ok, but high quality, properly made coffee simply doesn't need that amount of sugar in it.

Some people just like a little coffee in their sugar.

Sure but then why bother wasting a valued superhero position on him if it's just all sugar anyway? There's only one spot available apparently, just use a drip machine.

Separately, I'm also convinced that many (not all) of those people are drinking bad coffee. As a small anecdotal example (i know this isn't proof), i know people who are like this, and when i make them a good cup, they need much less or sometimes no sugar.

Properly made coffee, at worst, needs much less sugar than what people are usually drinking

1: People are allowed to like different things

2: That's clearly a Flash-type speedster. One of their tropes is an excessive metabolism so it's not only a preference but a necessity for him to carb load.

In truth, this is actually just a nerdy comic book detail you're being weird about. Caffeinator is actually doing his job so well you didn't even notice.
