The $4 coffee creamer that is revolutionizing the market for coffee lovers
There’s plenty of choice of coffee creamers nowadays at your local supermarket. So which ones are the best? Here’s what a group of taste testers had to say.
Walking down the aisle of the supermarket looking for a coffee creamer one can be overwhelmed by all the choice. Nowadays there is a plethora of choice in dairy and nondairy creamers as well as flavors galore.
However, without spending a fortune buying a cart full to try at home, how can one pick out the right one? Fortunately, a group of taste testers at The Kitchn did the leg work trying 16 different coffee creamers recently to find the one with the ideal cream-to-sweetness ratio. Here’s what they found.
The $4 coffee creamer that is revolutionizing the market for coffee lovers
The team at The Kitchn agreed that the best vanilla flavored coffee creamer was Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Vanilla Flavored Coffee Creamer. The associate grociers editor even found it to be the best of the four categories they tested. What made it so great?
The small list of ingredients, just four including skim milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavors (though, The Kitchn points out that natural flavors can still include chemicals), was one of the features that stood out for the taste testers. Additionally, it tasted “gourmet-like” along with being sweet and creamy to the point of decadence but still had a “surprising lightness when added to coffee.”
And you won’t break the bank with this creamer as it costs just $4 for a 16 ounce bottle.
Other coffee creamers found to the best
For those who are lactose intolerant but want a vanilla coffee creamer to add to your morning cup of Joe then you will want check out Silk Vanilla Almond Creamer. This one was voted the best dairy-free vanilla coffee creamer in part because of its “real vanilla” flavor. As well it ranked among the taste testers top picks thanks to its smoothness.
Vanilla not your choice and you prefer caramel in your coffee? Well then you should try International Delight Caramel Macchiato Coffee Creamer. Or if you are looking for a nondairy version then go with Planet Oat Caramel Oatmilk Creamer.
International Delight stood out for “deep caramel” flavor but was still smooth and subtly sweet. Planet Oat won over most for being rich and creamy without being dairy and its caramel flavor was “strong enough to really taste without being overpowering,” said the outlet.
