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

I like my espresso straight up, but I enjoy my aeropress with a pinch of sugar and milk.
My secret for creamer is a 2 oz Nalgene bottle that I fill with milk and put in my lunchbox.
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.
I like Silk's soy creamer. Original flavor is preferable, but vanilla is still better than anything else. Starbucks' soy (they only have vanilla), Coffee mate, international delight, etc are all too sweet for me (even, maybe especially the sugar-free varieties). Oat milk is too high in sugar content, almond creamer doesn't have the right texture. Half and half or milk are okay, though I feel like it masks or neutralizes the nuttiness of my favorite roast.
I try new stuff when I can, and usually switch to something pumpkin spice flavored in the fall, but I always settle back on Silk soy creamer. 🤷♀️
Same for me. Of the plant based creamers I've tried it is the only one that has a nice creamy quality without any coconut milk in it. I can't stand coconut milk in things that aren't supposed to taste like coconut. Plus soy milk is one of the more sustainable and nutritious plant milks.
Natures Bliss Sweet Cream Vanilla-- nondairy.
whole milk if I use any at all.
I just use the milk frother that came with my Nespresso. Super convenient because it heats it up too.
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.
Everything I've tried tastes absolutely awful, straight cream works fine for me.
I'm an iced breve latte man. Espresso + half & half instead of milk.
Omg I worked at a cafe/bakery/restaurant and made a breve latte on a whim. I'd never even heard of it before, it was just like "Hmmm I like whole better than 2%, I wonder what half and half would be like." Blew my fucking mind dude. Made one for a friend with like a teaspoon of sugar and she didn't believe me when I told her I didn't use creamer lmao. Breve ALL DAY.

Chobani sweet cream creamer straight from the bottle. No coffee required
I didn't know there was a coffee community here and now I'm not so sure I wanted to know
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.
The white chocolate mocha is my Crack
For non-espresso, half & half. For espresso-based drinks, Califia Farms Barista Blend oat milk.
Edit: Added "based drinks" to avoid any confusion

I really enjoy a splash of honey with some barista blend oat milk. I’ve found the barista blend to make a more enjoyable mouth feel.
International Delight is pretty good.
I usually drink my coffee with nothing in it, unless its cheap/bad (IE: Keurig). For that, I usually use a little bit of Chobani Vanilla Creamer. I find that this Chobani one tastes the best compared to any other Vanilla creamer I can get at my stores.
Love this video. Had me properly chuckling at points.
I stick to Lucerne, particularly salted caramel flavor, because it is not nestle owned and is richer and stronger flavor than international delight. Seriously anyone notice ID is like watery now?
Half and half > Oat Milk > preferred sweetened creamer> whole milk.
That's MY preference personally. I'll use whatever is available, but personally if I had a choice, these are my options.
High quality coffee with 1/2-1 oz of half & half is the best thing there is. Lattes are good but I don’t love the idea of drinking 8-12 oz of milk with every coffee. If I’m drinking diner swill I might add a little sugar, but any other time it’s black or a touch of half & half
Planet Oat French Vanilla oatmilk creamer. added in a small amount to my hazelnut coffee.
Ooh, I'm going to purchase this and try it out. Thanks for the recommendation!
