There will be quite a few disappointed gooners.
This is the first time I've heard of creamer and everyone seems to be shitting on it.
I guess I haven't missed much.
Are there good ones? And do many people actually use this instead of milk?
Or is this just another one of those american culture things that us foreigners will never understand?
Shit's terrible. If you like coffee with cream and sugar you can put this garbage in your cup and have a chemical stew that resembles cream, sugar and some sort of flavor like "french vanilla" (which isn't).
I like making some with evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract. splash some in to your liking
When I was in college one of my neighbors would light a candle on the porch and then sprinkle creamer on it. Made quite the fireball.
I'm sitting here like "tf is a creamer?"
Vegetable oil made to taste kinda like sweetened cream for coffee
It's "cream" that is mostly sugar and flavor other than cream. Most of them are also non-dairy, hence why the first cream is in quotes. The word "creamer" generally refers to the non-dairy cream substitutions for coffee.
You are selecting a very small and relatively recent subset of the category and using that to describe the entire category.
There are two separate clauses in my statement. One refers to the kind shown in the image. The other is a general statement about the term "creamer."
Also: Recent? My dude, CoffeeMate has existed since the 60's.
I honestly thought they were holding a container of little chocolates before I read the comments
Coffee creamer is bizarre. It makes everything you add it to taste sweet, oily and industrial yet it's so popular in some cultures that it's considered a no-brainer.
For anyone wondering about transatlantic definitions: US Heavy Cream is 38%, UK Double Cream 48% US “Half and half” is 12%, UK Single Cream 18%
They can basically be used interchangeably.
Milk is also basically the same, UK Semi-skimmed is 1.7%, so (obviously) closer to 2%.
Good coffee is good black
Sweet and oily is like 2/3 of an american's diet
How dare you. We also like salty and "cheese".
"cheese"
call it what u want, i want it coursing through my veins
Since cheese is oily, when heated anyway, seems like they were on the money saying 2/3
I'm oily when heated too
NEW!
Coffee mate® Salty Cheez
Coffee mate Cheez wiz since companies seem to like to collaborate with their stuff. Doritos taco shells etc.
Excuse me but salty is just another part of the cheese pyramid
I discovered creamer recently, I honestly don't get it. It tastes awful and why not use actual cream or milk in coffee than this thing ?
Well, there are over 5 billion lactose intolerant people out there. Coffee creamers do typically include a very small amount of milk derivative, but it's not enough to make a difference if you don't have a dairy allergy.
Five billion? So the majority of people are lactose intolerant?
Almost all adults develop some level of lactose intolerance as they age.
Yes. 60-70% are the estimate ranges I've seen.
Wow, I didn't think it was that widespread.
It tends to be geographic, so if you live in a region that's able to deal with lactose, you'd have the impression lactose intolerance isn't super common. But entire regions are lactose intolerant, like Southeast Asia (including China) and about half of India.
Basically anytime you see dairy as rare or non-existent in a region's traditional cuisine, that's why.
Creamer is shelf stable.
So is milk powder and sugar.
Remaking cream from milk powder isn't much better than creamer.

Can 2 girls share 1 creamer?
Only if they get a new cup for it.
Now we are more in mousse territory. 😐
