The great creamer debate...

The only way I will drink coffee black is if it's a good coffee....the cheap stuff is $hit to me unless it has creamer....I am a coffee snob! Don't get me wrong, when I am broke, any coffee will do and any creamer will do! Like right now, I am broke and my boyfriend did the grocery store last week...to him coffee is coffee is coffee...so, I got 2 cans of Maxwell House b/c it was on sale and Spartan brand creamer b/c it was cheaper. I am cringing while I drink it, but hey...it's caffeine right? Coffee Mate is decent, they have fun flavors...I do prefer the flavored creamers b/c it makes your coffee taste like dessert and I don't put sugar in my coffee either! Fact is you are a true coffee lover if you can drink your coffee straight up and black w/out any added ... well, anything. You will even drink decaf just b/c you adore the taste of coffee and it's benefits. Personally, I prefer espresso. I love espresso....it is rich, bold, full of body and flavor...yet so smooth! I prefer it over regular coffee anyday b/c you can do so much with it! Mix it is lattes, chocolate tastes great with espresso, use it to make iced coffee (Americanos...delish!) Esresso con pannas are awesome...with a hint of brown sugar on top of the whip cream...mmm mm good!

My current favorite flavor of creamer is CoffeeMate's Creme Brulee. When that's not available, I go with Hazelnut, Irish Cream, Coconut Creme, and I wish they still made the Chai Tea Spice. That was the best! I've discovered that I like Taster's Choice instant coffee because I can make it as strong as I like and I do like my coffee strong.

I prefer my coffee without anything. I think it should have a good taste without anything. Sometimes, I will add Coffee Mate which I must say I find it better than International Delight, but they are very both good. I prefer their French Vanilla flavor, there are some other good ones. I notice that Coffee Mate has more flavor varieties than the other brands, but like I was saying I don't usually buy it too often because most of the time I drink it without anything. Pablo

I love coffee and I am very picky about how I drink it. I like my cream and sugar - never black. I prefer flavored creams - French Vanilla is my favorite - but will use plain cream if I have to. If I am buying for my house, I get Maxwell House Coffee and Dollar General Brand (Clover Valley) French Vanilla Cream or the DG Brand plain cream. I don't think that coffee is really coffee without the cream. Smile!!

Ahhhhh...there is nothing better than waking up to the sound of a perculating pot of coffee and the wafting rich aromas that fill the house. Just thinking about it makes me giddy! I almost want it to be morning just so I can have a pot. I persoanlly am a raving lunatic if I dont have at leat one cup in the morning..and by mid morning my one cup turns into one or two pots...MMMMMMM...Anyhow...when I was a single Mommy I conditioned myself to drink coffee without creamer because it was an added expense. Now that funds arent so tight and im no longer the single Mommy I love experimenting with all the different flavors of creamer...I will NOT put sugar in my coffee however...What the point if you cant taste the flavor of the coffee? I am an avid foldgers fan and for some reason international delight tastes better with foldgers than than coffee mate..However my friend drinks Maxwell house and I think coffee mate tastes better with that particular brand. I think it just depends on the coffee. Although on occassion I still just drink it straight black. Its always good to have a handle on the different taste sensations that coffee can provide.

When id rink coffee at home I drink it with cream and sugar and a little bit of coconut syrup. But if I get a coffee in town its go to be a 16 OZ. 4 shot mocha

I do not drink coffee on the regular, but when i do drink coffee i like to use that international stuff, the mocha kind, or the french vanilla are both good. If i am drinking coffee at a coffee shop i tend to get the french vanilla capachino, although usually i dont drink much of either cause caffine hurts my brain and makes me all jittery, and right now i'm pregnant, so i have been drinking even less ! but i do still LOVE the smell of coffee brewing where ever i smell it.

I don't drink black coffee at all. I always put lots of sugar and cream in my coffee. I'll use milk or plain cream if that's what I have, but I prefer the flavored creamers. I don't really choose by brand, but by flavor. I just buy whichever one catches my eye at the moment. It also depends on where I am shopping, because different stores carry more of one brand or another. *shrugs* Right now I'm pretty big on the Vanilla Caramel Brownie one, which is one of the International Delight ones.

I love to have my coffee with a few spoons of creamer. It adds a good taste to the coffee and so far I have always use the same brand and it is coffee mate. I have not tried others since I have no reasons to do so. LOL!

My coffee has to be sweet. I prefer Hazelnut coffee creamer the best. I am not brand specific but my husband is. He thinks International Delight is too watery and only wants Coffee Mate. My coffee doesn't have to have a flavor if it is from Dunkin Doughnuts, then I just take extra cream and sugar. Yum.

I am also a huge coffee fan. For me, it depends on whether I am in the mood to brew a cup of coffee from ground coffee beans. If so, I usually add fresh milk (full cream). But when I am lazy and choose to have a cup of instant coffee, I will use CoffeeMate as creamer. I have tried other brands but found them less rich and flavourful as compared with the preferred coffeemate. :-)

I love the international delights - vanilla or hazelnut. I'm like you, it doesn't really need sugar if it has some creamer in it. Something about the liquid form - either coffee mate or int'l delights - always tastes better than the powder to me. Now I want some coffee - I'd be up all night thought. Funny, even if it's decaf I'll still be up.

If I have the budget, I usually like the hazelnut from coffeemate, and there's another brand I forgot what the name was. I'm just like you, I take coffee anywhere at anytime no matter how it's prepared. It can be really hot outside and i'll still be drinking coffee!

I love creamer in my coffee! I enjoy Vitamin D Milk better, but when on sale, I tend to get that particular brand; especially, in Aldi's Store. Sometimes Kroger's and other supermarkets have their own coffee creamer brands, as I usually get the cheapest on sale. To me, all powdered creamers taste pretty much the same. I love Vanilla creamer, too. I sometimes use sugar in my coffee, but not very often. I make sure coffee I buy, usually brand that is on sale, is already ground, rather than grinding the beans down myself. I have drank coffee black, but like you, prefer either powdered or milk creamer in it. Most men I know seem to favor the black coffee much more than a lot of women do, for some unknown reason. I say drink coffee that tastes best to the person drinking it, whether coffee is sipped black or with additives, like creamers or sugars added! Happy Holidays!

I drink my coffee with creamer also. I only want the regular creamer. I don't like any of the flovered kinds. It really doesn't matter the brand. I will drink black if someone doesn't have creamer.

I personally like coffee mate creamer. Hazelnut flavor Is my favorite.
