I like to have some cream or creamer in my coffee when I drink it. I stopped using real milk or cream some time ago because I don't drink a lot of coffee any more. So if I keep real cream or milk for my coffee it will spoil before I can use it up. I now keep some powdered creamer on hand. Some time ago I found cappicheno creamer That I really like. Now I can't find it any more.So do you use powdered creamer in your coffee or tea? What kind do you like best? I like to try different ones my self.

I like milk and sugar in my coffee, I don't drink coffee that much neither. I used to "have" to have a cup in the morning. Then I switched to decaf and got away from the caffeine, now I have a cup when I want one, not because I need one.

I have heard that decaf coffee still has caffeine in it. I'm like you I now only have it once in a while not because I need the kick start. I like a little sugar and creamer in it too. Hows the baby and family doing today?

Thanks for asking, the baby is doing lots better. They are going to keep her one more day to be on the safe side. Thats ok with us, we do want her home. But its better to be safe then sorry.

I usually add a little vanilla soy milk to my coffee.

soy milk here is pretty expensive, but I do like it when I can afford it.

I used to like to have milk or creamer in my coffee also. I just drink it black now though. I used to like a little bit of sugar in mine too but I no longer use that either. I have some regular powdered creamer to use but never use it anymore either. I like CoffeeMate. I have tried the flavored ones but I do not like flavored coffee.

I have had periods when I drank my coffe black too. but since I don't drink it often I find that I want something in it from time to time.

Although I don't drink coffee or tea when I was young my Mom used to make us coffee-milk. We got to sit with her while she had her coffee and she'd make us a cup with 1/2 coffee and half milk...more milk than coffee really. It was a great way for us to spend time together and we felt so grown up. I've always preferred milk in my coffee b/c of this on those very rare occasions when I share a cup with her. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

What a wonderful memory to have. When I was 14 I hated the taste of coffee but I loved the smell of a fresh opened can of coffee. My grandmother thought I should learn to drink it because it was served at all the baby and wedding showers and it was the correct thing to do. So I learned to drink it with a lot of canned milk milk and plenty of sugar.

Hi there deebomb! Well, I rarely drink coffee but when I do, I prefer powder creamer. Usually Nestle's coffeemate.

non dairy creamers are nothing more than modified starch with thousand s of chemicals most poeple can't pronounce. I therefore don't use it. If I don't know what it is I am not eating or drinking it...

Your right about the chemicals but what isn't these days. Even milk has all the antibiotics that cows are given to get them to produce more milk and to keep them well. There chemicals in just about every thing.

I drink mine with Coffeemate in it. I really like the flavor of their French Vanilla, but they have other flavorings I like to add sometimes too. Don't know why but I've never really gotten the powdered kind. I used to get half and half, but I think the Coffeemate has less calories, etc in it.
