Food tip: coffee (calories, butter, expensive, recipes)

[TabulaRasa]

Opened and refrigerated nondairy creamer will generally last longer than dairy.

It's not GOOD, but it's generally less perishable.

Personally I don't drink flavored coffee however, I have friends that do so thank you for the tip I will pass it along.

We go through I don't know how many bottles of Coffee Mate each week. @ around 3 bucks or more a bottle it's really pricey. We have some flavored extracts around not sure about Hazelnut....our fave. Thanks ElNina we might look into that.

Don't spend money on expensive coffee creamer. Drink black coffee.

Well, if nothing else, your own creamer is most likely healthier than those from the store

INGREDIENTS: WATER, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN AND/OR COTTONSEED OIL, AND LESS THAN 2% OF SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE)**, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, CARRAGEENAN.

I find most non dairy creamers have too many strange chemicals in their list of ingredients.
Coffee creamer has a tendency to make the coffee taste heavy and greasy. 2% regular milk works for me although its usually hard to find as a coffee additive when out and about,.

Around here, Coffeemate is $2.58 for a 32oz bottle of the liquid. If I get a minimum of 14 days from each bottle, that's 18 cents a day. I can afford it. I lose more than that in the couch cushions.

Black is an option when coffee is served to you here at Casa Fontucky.

I prefer 1/2 n 1/2 or, if not available, whole milk over creamers. I also like plain ol' flavored coffee. Seems simple to me

I don't like hot coffee unless it's winter, but I can't do coffeemate creamer when I do.

the difference in flavor between creamation creamer and coffeemate cream is staggering. Maybe others can't tell a difference but I sure can.
