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

Creamy beige.
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
Heavy whipping cream.
Why?
It lasts forever in the fridge and it isn't hydrogenated oil that will clog your arteries with transfats.
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.
Same. Heavy cream crew.
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.
I just use oat milk. Most of those creamers have crazy amounts of sugar.
I just like a bit of oat milk, though I usually drink lighter roasts black.
whole milk if I use any at all.
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.
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.
I personally prefer just coffee and plain whole milk.
I didn't know there was a coffee community here and now I'm not so sure I wanted to know
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 sweet cream 🤤
Just pure black coffee. Might be healthier for you as well!
None, ew.
