I’ve been thinking of ‘solving’ the creamer issue for myself lately and then I saw Hoffman’s video. What do you swear by?
My gem? Drinking coffee black.
Black coffee >>>>> anything with sugar and/or creamer
Same atm, but I’m feeling adventurous so I’ve decided to branch out. I’m thinking heavy whipping cream (thx Bioemerl) with a wee kick of honey to start. maybe see what vanilla extract will do…
Maybe try with a bit of milk. If you enjoy black coffee why go for something unhealthy like creamer?
creamer isn’t exactly unhealthy, its the full context of a persons diet that matters, really. indulgences are the spice of life. Maybe ill try both…
Most creamer is a bunch of crappy additives thrown together. Get a bunch of syrups and cream or barista oat milk instead.
heavy cream has very few carbs, making it a purposeful choice in many diets
it’s extremely fatty though so you really shouldn’t use it super often if you have it in coffee
There’s a number of recent diets that prefer fat over carbs.
Eating high saturated fats like those found in heavy cream isn’t a great idea on the daily. It can raise your cholesterol decently which can lead to build up in your arteries.
Low carb diets like that are probably fine short term but it’s not something you want to be on continuously due to the fat.
None, ew.

I just use oat milk. Most of those creamers have crazy amounts of sugar.
Heavy whipping cream.
Why?
It lasts forever in the fridge and it isn’t hydrogenated oil that will clog your arteries with transfats.
Same. Heavy cream crew.
Oh god yes. The heavier the better. I go to the restaurant supply stores so I can get the super-heavy-duty 40% cream. None of that weak-ass 36% water.
That’s weapons-grade heavy cream.
Heavy whipping cream in coffee is such an indulgent game-changer. I thought, how could it be that different from half-and-half? But it truly is something special.
Whole milk works great, and makes my cereal more filling too. If I buy a creamer, I tend to get one made of oat milk because it tends to last a bit longer in the fridge than real milk once opened. Califia has a fairly fun cinnamon one.
Coffee Mate pumpkin spice is/was my lifeblood. They made it all year long in 2022, so I was enjoying it through spring and summer. Now, I’m impatiently awaiting fall so I can finally get it back.
Whatever’s on sale that isn’t Nestle. Ideally something dairy free. During the holidays though, International Delight has a sugar cookie flavored creamer that is incredible.
whole milk if I use any at all.
I used to use Coffee Mate but I’ve started making my own coffee syrups from scratch using water, sugar, and vanilla bean paste. A splash of syrup + milk beats creamer by a mile.
We started using this dairy-free vanilla almond creamer. I am not sure if the name but can update when home. It is very tasty.
Edit: I am so embarrassed and should have known it was Silk. Oyvey!
@qwet I came here looking for the freak who said “butter” so I could mash the downvote button but I can’t find him. Go ahead and downvote me in his stead because that idea simply deserves it.
Everything I’ve tried tastes absolutely awful, straight cream works fine for me.
Been using oat milk for some coffees (Oatside is awesome), it’s really good.
For local coffee I’m still using Coffeemate, but looking for alternatives that’s not condensed milk, which is the traditional choice. Trying to de-Nestle my life as much as possible.
I just like a bit of oat milk, though I usually drink lighter roasts black.
