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

Heavy whipping cream.

Why?

It lasts forever in the fridge and it isn't hydrogenated oil that will clog your arteries with transfats.

Same. Heavy cream crew.

Heavy whipping cream in coffee is such an indulgent game-changer. I thought, how could it be that different from half-and-half? But it truly is something special.

Oh god yes. The heavier the better. I go to the restaurant supply stores so I can get the super-heavy-duty 40% cream. None of that weak-ass 36% water.

That's weapons-grade heavy cream.

I just use oat milk. Most of those creamers have crazy amounts of sugar.

My gem? Drinking coffee black.

Same atm, but I'm feeling adventurous so I've decided to branch out. I'm thinking heavy whipping cream (thx Bioemerl) with a wee kick of honey to start. maybe see what vanilla extract will do...

Maybe try with a bit of milk. If you enjoy black coffee why go for something unhealthy like creamer?

[–] qwet@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

creamer isn't exactly unhealthy, its the full context of a persons diet that matters, really. indulgences are the spice of life. Maybe ill try both...

heavy cream has very few carbs, making it a purposeful choice in many diets

it’s extremely fatty though so you really shouldn’t use it super often if you have it in coffee
