    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.

      I’ve noticed different coffees blend better with different creamer flavors. And if you only add a little bit it takes the edge off the bitterness

      The 3 options for regular coffee, commonly found in the US: heavy cream, half&half (50% milk & 50%heavy cream) , non-dairy creamer

      I think most people use “half and half” in their coffee. Nondairy “creamer” is basically corn syrup solids and coloring. Its nasty.

      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 ?

      I use like less than a tbsp of coffee creamer for coffee.

      The flavour is so artificial that any more will make me feel sick. It just tastes like soap.

      Many coffee creamers also taste terrible, I’m very surprised at the popularity of them overall.

      I get a specific kind that I can bear and I put a very small amount and it works for me. I don’t like milk. Black coffee is okay but I do like it with creamer more.

    Well I proudly proclaim myself to be a part of #CreamerNation. And on a completely unrelated offtopic note I love International Harvest.

    Back when I regularly drank coffee, I’d use a bit of this kind of stuff. A splash.

    Still way, waaaaay too sweet.

    Switched to a half gallon of wholefat milk in the fridge, used a splash of that instead.

    Much better.

    Most Americans I’ve known seem to think they like coffee, when what they actually like is a milkshake with notes, hints, suggestions of coffee.

    One former roommate of mine thought it was completely normal for ‘a cup’ of coffee to be 1/3 coffee and 2/3 this kind of pictured coffee.

    I remember actually vomiting one time I mistook her cup of coffee for mine.
