Has anyone tried using a tablespoon or so as coffee creamer? I was wondering is that would work.

I have a 'coffee creamer' bowl that is full of the powder - works very well in coffee or tea- just start very small & you will figure out how much to use per cup of coffee or tea.

I haven't tried it but I can't see why it wouldn't work, although it would be less expensive it seems to just buy creamer.

Yes, that is how I use it, plus in cooking. I find that it tends to settle to the bottom of the cup over time (I drink my coffee in a 32 ounce thermal cup) but if you drink it faster I don't think that would be a problem. I just stir it every so often and it's fine. It really isn't cheaper to buy creamer, and it has all kinds of stuff that I don't want to drink. Since it is nonfat, there really aren't any calories in that small an amount, plus you get calcium and Vitamins A and D. We don't drink milk, so the powdered works well for us all around.

Are you putting too much coffee in the basket? Only 2-3 teaspoons work best! Try this and see if it works!

A scoop of coffee is about 1 tablespoon. You need to use much more coffee then you have described. I use 3 cups of water using a measuring cup (which is a bit more than the 4 cup mark on the Bonavita) and six scoops of coffee. I had to play around with it some and it does change a little depending on what roast I'm using. Enjoy!

The comment that the milk frother requires a high fat content milk/cream is not accurate. The higher the fat content, the less foam it will produce. Skim milk will yield the most dense foam. I have never added flavored creamer, or any liquid other than milk for that matter, as the instructions say not to. But to be honest, I probably would if I liked flavored coffee. I can't imagine why it would cause a problem - especially if you wash it well afterwards.

Has anyone tried using soy milk in any of the recipes? Do you think it will turn out runny like the lactose milk? What do you think about using soy creamer?

yes, you just put it in your coffee maker and brew like any other coffee. I found 6 tablespoons to a whole pot of coffee worked best.

Depends on your coffee strength and how much water you use. I use one heaping tablespoon per 8 oz. The more the better!

Ummmm...I suppose you could use it on whatever you like, but errr...it's butter and I've not heard of anyone putting butter in coffee (not that it can't be done), but if you already put butter in coffee...I suppose this would be no different!

I spoon into to coffee straight. Even the thicker part is (if not well shaken when warm) is delicious in coffee or hot chocolate. For even a better cup of coffee, I take the hand held blender and whip it together. It makes a nice frothy top. Then if you are still adventurous, I would add a bit of cocoa (unsweetened) and blend that in for a mocha. Yummy

It's worth giving it a shot but I'm not sure. As I said in my review, it kind of separates. Even when it's introduced into something hot like coffee. I never did try to cook with it for this reason. I would speculate that maybe if you stuck it in the frig so you would have coconut cream accumulate at the top of the can that the cream may be could be used to make a creamy yogurt type thing. Maybe someone else has more experience using it for something like you suggest. In fact, I may try to use the coconut cream that way instead of tossing the extra cans I have. Thanks for making me think on the subject. Regardless, some people have reactions to guar gum, other's not so much. Good luck. Let us know if it works (if that's possible).

You can use as creamer- just shake well. Adding water would be your preference. If you refrigerate, if turns to cream in can. I open a can at room temp and pour in a jar. I use 1/2 cup each morning in my protein shake and 1/2 cup unsweetened "cartooned" coconut milk. You can also use this for making dairy free whipped cream. Refrigerating causes it to separate. Open can and pour liquid off. (Save watery liquid for something else). Put heavy cream part in mixing bowl and beat until consistency you like. Add a little sugar and vanilla while mixing.

About 2 tablespoons, I use a large mug and it works fine. I really love this dripper, makes an awesome cup of coffee :-)

I don't think so. Coffee creamer tends to hold its shape if you scoop a heaping spoonful onto a spoon, and would not flow into the dispensing slot. Sugar crystals tend to flow more easily, and not stick together.

I tried it with cold milk, then with hot and it seemed to work better using hot milk. The only other thing I can think of is that you might be stirring yourcoffee after the milk is added. I wouldn't.

I used to take it with coffee, but I would take a small sip of coffee, then stick the spoon with the gel in my mouth, then gulp it all down together. But I found that coffee only amplifies the taste. Now I do the same routine but with some whole milk and it actually mitigates the taste!

I haven't tried it that way, but I would think if you bought the Better Than Milk Rice Powder with the vanilla flavoring would great. I would think 1/2 teaspoon would work in coffee. The original does not have a sweet taste to it like cow's milk.

I used this specifically for my morning cup of Joe. To be honest with you this was not good at all. It had a wierd after taste that was not pleasant. I don't know about baking though. I do not like sweetners or creamers to overpower the taste of coffee. I basically never used it again. Hope this helps.
