Coffee creamer
Rich and smooth, often sweetened, ranging from plain and milky to intensely flavored.
Lens analyzedCoffee creamer is a dairy or non-dairy liquid or powder added to coffee to soften its bitterness and add richness, ranging from plain half-and-half-style creamers to heavily flavored versions like vanilla or hazelnut. Liquid creamers tend to be thicker and sweeter than plain milk.
Where it comes from
Non-dairy liquid creamer emerged in the mid-20th century as a shelf-stable alternative to milk for coffee, aimed at people without easy access to fresh dairy or looking for something that lasted longer in the fridge.
Buying it
Check whether it's dairy-based or a non-dairy blend, and note that flavored creamers often carry more sugar than a plain one.
Storing it
Refrigerate liquid creamer after opening and check the date, since it sours the way milk does; unopened shelf-stable cartons can wait in the pantry until opened.
Keeps about 1 month in the fridge.
