this is in no way a sugar re-placer or sweetener, it is in fact a great re-placer for soybean, vegetable and canola cooking oils. It's an edible oil just like olive oil. It's benefits are very similar, great when dieting.

it is not sweet, but i put it in a blender with my coffee & a little cream and sugar. it blends to a nice frothy, yummy drink.

Don't think so. I just tasted it - not very sweet. Also a little greasy for coffee?

Not really. If you are used to putting sugar in your coffee & want the same amount of sweetness it gives you, you will not be happy with the substitution. It had a true coconut meat flavor, similar to coconut milk.

It's sweetish, but not as much as sugar. However, it's an oil and will make coffee greasy. I use it in place of butter on graham crackers for example, and on my skin.

Fructose is one of the ingredients, I think that makes it sweet. The taste is actually a bit sour, more like a citrus fruit.

The packaging indicates that this does have some instant coffee mixed in with the caramel flavor, however, it is definitely too sweet for me to drink by itself. So I actually add it to my espresso as a nice hint of caramel flavor. So depending upon how you like your coffee, you can drink it as it is or mix in with an extra dose of coffee.

I don't taste coconut; it more resembles brown sugar in taste; but more subtle. I like it in coffee; that was the use I bought it for.

It tastes just like sugar and is about as sweet. I know the Belly Fat Cure author uses his program to include this sugar substitute with his own children. I use it to cook with, and it is the preferred coffee sweetener for my husband. The only issues I have read about are digestive, (gas bloating, maybe diarrhea?) and only for some people.

No. I like it just the way that it is. In fact, I don't put sweeteners in any of the Green mountain coffees that I drink. I like them just the way that they are.

I used it in a cookie recipe today, and it worked fine. I used 1/8 tsp. stevia plus 1/4 cup xylitol to sweeten cookies made with 2 cups of almond flour. The sweetness was perfect for my taste.

I only use it in coffee. I use two teaspoons of this compared to one teaspoon of table sugar. Aside from that fact, coconut sugar also contains some vitamins and nutrients unlike table sugar:)

It's not sweetened. I usually use 1tsp of Agave negtar if I want add sweetner.

I suppose you could, if icing sugar and espresso grind is the same consistency, but I would not be surprised if sugar, being more corrosive than coffee, wears out the burrs faster: http://www.cibtech.org/J%20FOOD%20AGRI%20VETERINARY%20SCIENCES/PUBLICATIONS/2011/Vol%201%20No.%201/17-13-JFAV-Singh.pdf

It is very sweet, so I think you would be disappointed. Natural sugar is used.

I've never tried it in coffee, just water and juice. The label also says you can mix it into food, but I've never tried that either.

probably not...this wonderful rock sugar softly compliments the delicate flavors of tea. coffee, good coffee, is so complex in flavor that the gentle sweetness is overpowered. it could be used but why waste it?

Robert I have not put sugar in the kettle. The research I did indicated that none of these types of units should you use sugar. Sorry I couldn't help but it is a great little unit and my kids use it daily.

No aftertaste detected, but, I must say it is so easy to "over-sweeten" with it that sometimes it just overwhelms the palate. I got those teeny little measuring spoons and use about 1/2 of the smallest one, the drop, I think, for my coffee mug. As far as comparing it to sugar, I guess it's similar but it's been so long since I used actual sugar in coffee, I can't say. (I hated sugar in coffee because it took so much and was difficult to dissolve...sucralose is like magic in sweetening power!)

I've never baked with it. If you try, remember that it is very sweet by volume. It is not bulked up with some carrier power like Truvia is with erythritol, a sugar alcohol.The tiny spoon shipped inside is the amount needed to sweeten a cup of coffee. So you'd have to projct from that if you were to experiment

I would think so? You don't use it like sugar though! It is very, very concentrated!
