Someone toid me that mixing sugar with the ground coffee in the portafilter
makes for great crema and a naturally sweet shot...Is this true?

This is standard practice, if requested, at Simon's in Cambridge, MA,
which is an excellent coffee house. I don't think they would ever
claim it is a "naturally" sweet shot, though. I have never had it in
one of their espresso shots, as it really isn't necessary, so I can't
comment on the effect.

It's not a difficult experiment.

this is generally not a good idea.

I seem to remember that the Cubans are fond of adding sugar to the coffee
before the brewing and of course Arbuckle coffee was sold in days gone by
with a sugar coating applied to the roasted beans.
But my question is, if the espresso is made correctly and therefore is not
bitter or sour why would you want sugar in it anyway?

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the solvent.

No idea, but I don't think you could really call the results
"naturally" sweet, can you? Sounds like an additive to me.
