    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.

      I think a good approach is to only use it as a light sweetener, I only pour about 5g-10g of creamer into my lattes. Coffee mate’s Hazelnut creamer is the only flavour I tolerate, the rest taste too synthetic.

        I use plain creamer and it sweetens it up a bit but the bigger thing to me is it thickens it up ever so slightly giving it a much better mouth feel.
