Coffee "cream" = fresh half and half

Whipped cream = fresh heavy cream

Agree. Flavored creamer is another one of the many reasons so many Americans have a weight problem


The weight problem starts with those awful sugary coffee drinks from Starbucks. So gross.

Oh really? I keep seeing them at the grocery store and have been intrigued. Is it good?


The Chobani creamer is my absolute favorite. It’s just cream and some sugar with water. All natural and has a great consistency. I try really hard not to get any creamers with oil in them.

A tablespoon of flavored creamer like International Delight has the same amount of calories as a tablespoon of half & half plus a teaspoon of sugar. If you use heavy cream, it’s even more calories.

I don’t think flavored creamer is the culprit in American obesity.

Agree. Can’t drink black coffee. If there isn’t any half and half, I walk

The Silk almond/soy creamers are a good substitute for dairy-based creamers.

Pretty sure real cream = half and half, found at any grocery store. But I don't care if people use flavored creamers. Apparently there's a market otherwise they wouldn't sell it. I think this is one of those things like anything 'scented' where people who have money swear it's just so artificial and they just can't tolerate it; it's the Princess and the Pea syndrome.


Half-and-half is actually a mix of cream and milk.
