I’ve been thinking of ‘solving’ the creamer issue for myself lately and then I saw Hoffman’s video. What do you swear by?

For me, I take mine black. Two reasons: 1: I’m lactose intolerant, and 2: I dislike the aftertaste dairy products leave on your tongue.
butter snd black pepper!
I tried it once, and never again. It was awful. Haven’t even told my SO because this is too shameful to admit
Butter is fine in my experience. How much did you put in there? You only need a tiny bit.
Ewww… I won’t downvote you because I’ve already placed myself on the block to take the hits by mentioning butter in the first place but I really want to.
Cultured butter it is, then. It adds some extra funk. I bet you will love it. 🫶
Everything I’ve tried tastes absolutely awful, straight cream works fine for me.
Condensed milk (or black)
And if you like condensed milk but it is too sweet for your taste, I’ve found evaporated milk to be an excellent choice.
I know they’re all just flavoured olive oil, but damn do I love the Oreo flavoured one…
Now days they’re almost all flavored coconut oil.
Which, as someone who is rather allergic to coconut, is annoying, because I have to assume I’ll have an issue with any not-actually-milk coffee cream product.
Land O Lakes Mini Moos are shelf-stable actual milk products and I keep some in my desk. Essentially all the rest of the shelf stable products, liquid or powder, have converted to coconut based. I don’t know if the economics have changed, or if it’s because they don’t have to say “Hydrogenated” if its hydrogenated right from the plant.
I prefer simple half-and-half. To me it’s sweet enough on its own to cut down the bitterness, no other sugar needed.
Yep, this is my daily go-to as well. Rich enough to satisfy without anything else. I look forward to a splash of cream in my mug each day.
btw, go for the second dub… worth it.
For a video featuring so much of his disgust I was kind of hoping it was nothing but slurps. Maybe next time.
Try Hames Joffmanturn on captions for best reults.
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.
Anything hazelnut
I personally prefer just coffee and plain whole milk.
makes confused Australian noises into flat white
Is creamer used in countries that don’t regularly have milk in the fridge? I’ve never heard of anyone using it in Australia, but I’ve also never seen the need when everyone has milk and sugar readily on hand.
The ‘advantages’ of creamer as opposed to actual dairy are generally being lactose free (though they do contain casein), longer shelf life, and coming in a variety of flavorings. If you also include the powdered kind then you have the advantage of not even needing refrigeration after opening. I’ve seen many a waiting area or office where they have a can (or tub) of the powdered stuff offered up next to the cheap drip coffee being provided.
I think you just described all the reasons why no one in Australia uses creamer.
There’s plenty of lactose and dairy free milks if that floats your boat too, without adding flavours, sugar, and who knows what else!

I think it’s just how they drink filtered coffee. I mean, I’ve drunk my fair share of filtered coffee but with a dash of normal milk and no sugar. So I think adding creamer is a similar approach (although I’m not positive it has sugar in it).
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.
International Delight is pretty good.
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!
That sounds delicious. Please do tell.
By any chance have you noticed it curdling at all in your coffee? We tried a non dairy creamer and it tasted good but it curdled a little bit. I think there was even a warning on the label that said it could do that.
Nope, it will be pretty sweet if you pit to much in though. And price wise it isn’t to bad
Any of these with a bunch of flavor and sugar are garbage IMHO. Give me black coffee or something with heavy cream or steamed milk. The rest of that junk just covers up bad coffee flavors and is horribly unhealthy
