I cannot wait until all the flavored Coffee Creamer is out. I am on my last one. They are too sweet. (wife is sweeter though) I will be going back to half and half. We coupon shop and had a Buy one get one free of Coffee Mate and they were on sale for $1.99 for the samll 16 oz ones. My wife bought me 4 of them because well I could use to try something different in my coffee. So what do you use or not use? Black I can take for a few cups. Anyone else think flavored Coffee Creamer is too much. Oh I do like Pumkin Spice but that is a Oct-Nov only creamer btw and into Dec if I still have some left. Also did you know how many calories these things are. Merde. |
I put in about a half a teaspoon just to take the edge off of the taste.

Back when I started drinking coffee, sam's club had a huge pump jug of the french vanilla flavoring that did not have to be refrigerated. It had to be used soon after opening it but it would last longer than they said it would. It was amazing and yeah I admit to being scared to read the ingredients but it sure did taste a lot better than the powdered french vanilla or the liquid version that has to stay refrigerated. I don't go to sam's anymore so now and then I will buy the powder or refrigerated liquid french vanilla stuff. I normally keep some regular powdered creamer around as well. I buy cheap coffee and tend to add stuff to the first cup or two if I am going to add anything to the coffee I drink that day. After that I just drink it black. When visiting people who spend money on spiffy coffee and especially grind their own beans and what not I don't add anything to the coffee. I don't see much point in the other flavorings and to some extent I run out of creamer or any sort now and then and will drink black coffee for a while because I don't want to spend the money on creamer. |

Gave up on sugar and cream. I used them until I did my hitch in the USN. It seemed like there was always coffee at hand, but never any sugar or cream. I decided to wean myself off of them and enjoy it black. Today I drink two or three pots a day and still don't worry about sugar or cream. The wife sure likes that Hazelnut stuff though.

Same here....had to wean myself...now I only drink it black.......matter of fact I'm having a cup right now. |

Sams Members mark creamer.. extra rich in addition, bought the cappacino mix which evean has more coffe in it and stir in for a vannila taste I think non dairy creamer is like glue in your veins though... heart seems to pain me if I drink too much Irish cream isnt bad either |

I got hooked on the flavored creamer when I worked at... a Harley-Davidson shop. In the service department, we had free coffee along with those little blue (french vanilla) and green (irish coffee) creamers, along with some plain ones. The dentists, lawyers, programmers, and accountants that rode Harleys loved that stuff. I avoid it now because of the calories. |
 I was like you once.I got hooked on the Coffeemate Hazelnut when I traveled for work. The sweet, flavored creamer was often the only ones left (or stocked?) in the hotel lobby. I still enjoy traditional lattes and such but often times I prefer the Hazelnut crap. PS - I don't like any other flavors, so it's Hazelnut or the regular creamer. |
