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

      Is creamer used in countries that don’t regularly have milk in the fridge? I’ve never heard of anyone using it in Australia, but I’ve also never seen the need when everyone has milk and sugar readily on hand.

        The ‘advantages’ of creamer as opposed to actual dairy are generally being lactose free (though they do contain casein), longer shelf life, and coming in a variety of flavorings. If you also include the powdered kind then you have the advantage of not even needing refrigeration after opening. I’ve seen many a waiting area or office where they have a can (or tub) of the powdered stuff offered up next to the cheap drip coffee being provided.

          I think you just described all the reasons why no one in Australia uses creamer.

          There’s plenty of lactose and dairy free milks if that floats your boat too, without adding flavours, sugar, and who knows what else!
