This is a shot of my favorite and only additive I use for coffee. recently I ran out and the stores had none of this brand. So I bought a store brand. Disgusting tasting. Even dad mentioned his coffee tasted wrong. Anyhow I have used Coffee Mate French Vanilla non-dairy creamer for many years and am addicted/used to it I guess. I went without coffe until the stores had it in stock. I suffered from headaches etc from missing my coffee daily. Tea did not work at all either. Now I have my cream back and happily drinking my regualr tasting coffee. have you had withdrawl symptons from not eating something daily that you ate for a long time?
As always.....

Hi Grandpa Bob
I actually use the Coffee Mate in my Coffee I have never seen the one you use here in the UK
I do not like Milk in my Coffee I prefer the Coffee Mate
I had run out once and until I was able to go to the Supermarket I had to use milk and it was awful I did not do without but I did not have many Coffee's at all till I got my Coffee Mate

This is a concentrated version. You use less. One pump equals one of ther little restaraunt type containers. It does not have to be refridgerated eiather. this container lasts me anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks for the most part. Depending on if dad drinks coffee as well.
As always.....

I had not seen those with a pump, of course I have not been looking. My hubby likes cream or coffee creamer in his coffee, but it tends to give him some trouble, so he just uses sugar.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing GB I will have to tell my hubby about it! We are in Canada though so not sure when it will actually make it's way out here IF it does. A lot of times when I go to visit my parents in Arizona we go shopping and I see a TON of stuff I don't see here!

Hi GB, My hubby uses the powdered Coffee Mate and sugar in his coffee EVERY morning and I use the International Delight liquid creamers. I always alternate between southern butter pecan, and french vanilla. Soooo if we were to run out we would really be cranky because we must have our coffee EVERY morning! If that makes me spoiled then guilty as charged!

I don't like real hot coffee so I don't use the powder versions.
At restaraunts etc I add a couple ice cubes to cool it off.
I'm strange huh? HAHAHAHA!

I don't think your strange at all GB! In fact I use liquid creamer too and I'm not a big fan of scorching hot coffee either! Whenever I get one to go I always take the lid off and wait for it to cool off a bit. So if your weird then I guess we're both weird together!

Haha, if you're spoiled, then so am I. I used to always drink my coffee with plain old milk...until I tried the Coffee Mate, and then I was hooked. I get their French Vanilla too. The only time I get withdrawl symptoms is when I don't get my coffee. Man, do I get a headache if I have to go without my coffee! Never really thought about it being 'habit forming', but there is something about coffee that the caffeine in tea just doesn't replace. I never saw Coffee Mate with a pump! With this arthritis, it would make it easier to handle, and open, than the jar it comes in. Will definitely have to look for it in the pump.

I would have gone to another store, as I cannot stand the headaches I get from not drinking coffee. I drink my coffee black, however. No cream, no sugar. Sometimes I will drink a flavored coffee or a cappuccino but I tend to find them way too sweet most of the time. I like a cold, creamy frappucino type of coffee, once in awhile.

We did, and bought the generic brand so as to save a dollar.
Never again though. I drink iced coffee like iced tea in the summer.

I don't use anything in my coffee but sugar. Wish i could learn to drink it black but have never been able to. I drink more iced tea than anything. I probably would have w/drawals if i had to do w/out that. I use store brand tea & coffe both. It is a whole lot cheaper. Guess i can get use to anything if i have to, lol.

I'm odd wioth my coffee.
At my wifes restaraunt I use regular cream and sugar.
At the A.A. club I drink it black.
At the casinos I drink it with just sugar.
I think it depends on the taste of the coffee itself.

Hi Bob,
Not headaches, no. I've been trying to eat more healthily of late. Now that means I'm trying to avoid processed food and fried food. I was really hungry when I finished the shopping and errands the other day and I had some spare change so I weakened and bought KFC.
My stomach went into revolt pretty much straight away. It did not like that greasy crap I was sending down to my clean insides.

I have seen the giant bottles of Coffee Mate creamer at Sam's club before, but I don't drink coffee so I have never purchased one. I considered getting it for my mom since she uses it, but I think it is just way too big of a bottle for just her since she does not drink all that much coffee.
I go through withdrawal if I do not have Mountain Dew. The stuff is terrible for me and it gives me horrible heartburn, but I can't seem to stay away from it.

This is concentared so it lasts a long time.
No need to refrigerate it either so the date is a few months till expiration.

I dunno about having withdrawls from anything but caffine, but I only drink it on days I have to work late and on days I don't sleep well.
There isn't anything that I eat for a long time that bothers me if I don't eat it. Unless you count treats that are not any good for you.... there's always a good reason to love chocolate!

Hey Grandpa Bob! My bf loves that stuff too and will only
use the Coffee Mate French Vanilla or Hazelnut and it can't
dare be the store brand or he won't drink coffee either! He
keeps telling me he's going to cut down on his coffee drinking,
but he is full of sh1t! I don't drink coffee anymore at all!
When I did drink it I liked milk and lots of sugar, but being
lactose intolerant it always made me sick! So, I drink Green
Tea, with lots of sugar only, no milk! Or, I drink diet coke!
But, I know that those who are addicted to that Coffee Mate
stuff are really addicted to it!

Hi Grandpa Bob.
My addiction is not coffee, but diet coke. At the start of this year, I vowed not to drink as much, as part of the new-year-resolution thing. I think I even managed a few days without it. I had withdrawal symptons! I felt thirsty all the time, and no matter how much water or juice I drank, it didn't quench my thirst.
So now, I'm back to drinking diet coke. But thankfully, not as much as before. I guess slow and steady wins the race!

I'm glad you got it back, I can't even drink coffee without my french vanilla creamer. when I have a hard time finding it I go to the Family Dollar store and purchase their brand of vanilla powdered creamer, not exactly the same, but do-able.
