There will be quite a few disappointed gooners.
This is the first time I've heard of creamer and everyone seems to be shitting on it.
I guess I haven't missed much.
Are there good ones? And do many people actually use this instead of milk?
Or is this just another one of those american culture things that us foreigners will never understand?
Shit's terrible. If you like coffee with cream and sugar you can put this garbage in your cup and have a chemical stew that resembles cream, sugar and some sort of flavor like "french vanilla" (which isn't).
When I was in college one of my neighbors would light a candle on the porch and then sprinkle creamer on it. Made quite the fireball.
I'm sitting here like "tf is a creamer?"
Vegetable oil made to taste kinda like sweetened cream for coffee
It's "cream" that is mostly sugar and flavor other than cream. Most of them are also non-dairy, hence why the first cream is in quotes. The word "creamer" generally refers to the non-dairy cream substitutions for coffee.
You are selecting a very small and relatively recent subset of the category and using that to describe the entire category.
I honestly thought they were holding a container of little chocolates before I read the comments
Can 2 girls share 1 creamer?
Only if they get a new cup for it.
Now we are more in mousse territory. 😐

Get your throwing bagels ready.
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.
Sweet and oily is like 2/3 of an american's diet
How dare you. We also like salty and "cheese".
Since cheese is oily, when heated anyway, seems like they were on the money saying 2/3
NEW!
Coffee mate® Salty Cheez
Coffee mate Cheez wiz since companies seem to like to collaborate with their stuff. Doritos taco shells etc.
Excuse me but salty is just another part of the cheese pyramid
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 ?
Well, there are over 5 billion lactose intolerant people out there. Coffee creamers do typically include a very small amount of milk derivative, but it's not enough to make a difference if you don't have a dairy allergy.
Five billion? So the majority of people are lactose intolerant?
Yes. 60-70% are the estimate ranges I've seen.
Wow, I didn't think it was that widespread.
It tends to be geographic, so if you live in a region that's able to deal with lactose, you'd have the impression lactose intolerance isn't super common. But entire regions are lactose intolerant, like Southeast Asia (including China) and about half of India.
Basically anytime you see dairy as rare or non-existent in a region's traditional cuisine, that's why.
Creamer is shelf stable.
So is milk powder and sugar.
Remaking cream from milk powder isn't much better than creamer.

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

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

Just a splash of oat milk for me, thanks.
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.
Not everyone can get coffee beans within a few days of roasting. You need to cut the butter taste that builds up with something to get the same effect.
... Do... you mean cut the 'bitter' taste?
Because... somewhat ironically, if you've indeed made that spelling error, I've also found that a tiny bit of butter (actual butter, not margarine), a teaspoon, stirred until totally melted into the coffee, can give a much more rich and varied taste to what would otherwise be too bitter and... 'sharp', I guess.
Probably wouldn't work so well with instant coffee... but I've always just gone with a darker roast of some kind, either grounds or beans that I grind with a cheap grinder, and then just use an old fashioned french press.
I guess I just prefer significantly more bitter and less sweet coffee than about 1/3rd of the people who've read this...
Oh well, works for me.
Yeah, autocorrect is not kind to me.
I spent 6 months in Italy. I spent another 6 months in Jamaica. I spent another 6 months in 5 different European countries. I've had really fuckin bad coffee everywhere.
