The flavor is great, milder than liquid coconut milk, I have not tried it as a coffee creamer, the powder is very smooth so I am sure it does not clump up.

It probably would work for coffee. Just keep in mind it isn't sweet, so you might need a sweetener. I use it to mellow out my curry dishes. I have not used it in coffee. The container has recipes for smoothies on it. Hope this helps.

I use this almost exclusively as a coffee, cocoa and tea creamer - yes, it is clumpy but this is what I do: add about 1/4 cup of hot water to the mug, add your desired amount of coconut powder (I use up to a TB), froth with a hand held milk frother wand until the clumps are smoothed out, (10 to 30 seconds) then add coffee to the top of the mug. Delicious and creamy and frothy. I recently purchased a nespresso milk frother for my coconut powder because I plan on using it as a creamer forever! It has a great froth and it's delicious with coffee, tea and cocoa.

No, it is not easy to mix. If you have used an egg replacer before it is similar to that in that it needs to be thoroughly blended not just stirred. On a positive it is a great thickener and flavor, I have enjoyed it in smoothies and in baking.

I have used this as a creamer in coffee and to even add more richness to hot chocolate, oatmeal, shakes etc. I love it and it works great.

Yes it is wonderful! I eat low carb and this has minimal. I use it in most everything, coffee, riced cauliflower, eggs etc. It is not very sweet but it will give your coffee a nice creaminess. I also use it in my curry dishes

Sorry I can't answer this-- I use this product not to reconstitute actual liquid coconut milk, but rather add it to a morning smoothie I make, along with a bunch if other ingredients.

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.

I used almond milk tonight for the 1st time and it wouldn't froth at all. I finished making my latte,though cause I was curious,but it tasted bad..therefore,if you want to use an alternative to cow's milk,choose soy milk. I especially like an unsweetened vanilla kind since I like my drinks sugar-free.

I'm not sure what Cream of Coconut is, but this stuff is unappetizing. We put some in smoothies and couldn't drink them. If you will tell me how you use cream of coconut, I can tell you whether this is viable as a substitute.

I have been frequenting the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf retail stores for years. I like my coffee to taste like it does when I place an order at the stores. When I add milk to my coffee for a latte' I use 2 heaping tablespoons. When I add the powder to black coffee I use 3 sometimes 4 heaping tablespoons. (This is for a 16 ounce cup of coffee) It really is preference! I would play with the taste until you find what works for you. Make sure you mix it good or it will be lumpy and will also become gummy at the bottom. I use a frother which works great! You can get one on amazon. Bonjour makes a great one! This powder is not only great in hot coffee but I love to blend it with cold, strong coffee or coffee extract and ice in the blender ( sometimes with milk) and blend it, it is also great in tea and the powder adds amazing flavor to smoothies! I hope this helps you?????????

No. I wanted the product as an alternative creamer for coffee. It did not work as it did not dissolve well. I think it is a quality product that simply did not fit my need.

Yes it works with canned coconut milk! You let it settle out in the refrigerator, pour the liquid off the top and use the thick cream from the bottom.

Arroy-D makes coconut cream that is not concentrated. You can put in coffee like cream and it is delicious. You can use it for puddings but I haven't tried it for baking. I am not familiar with Let's Do Creamed Coconut and I would not buy it.

This is a 50/50 blend of ghee (which is clarified butter) and coconut oil. I wouldn't use it to make bulletproof coffe since that's usually made with just 100% virgin coconut oil. I bought it to use for cooking and baking, but it's really too expensive to use. So I'm sticking to strictly virgin coconut oil. Hope that helps some!

As Linh Bui answered, I do not believe you should have a problem with dairy I have milk with my coffee and have yet to have an issue with this product.

Why would you buy it if you didn't know what it was for or have a use in mind for it? I personally use it for coffee. I travel often. Fake chemical creamers make me sick. So, I make my own Instant coffee mix with this. I put equal parts instant coffee and this cream powder in a cup and mix it up, (if you mix it up dry with a spoon there are no lumps at all) then add hot water. Perfect cup of coffee! I keep some pre mixed in my suitcase at all times.It is also nice to have on hand for recipies that call for milk (I never buy milk). I just add a couple of spoons in the mix.

Yes! It is a finer consistency than sweetened shredded coconut from the store. I toast it and add it to ice cream, oatmeal, there is a recipe for macaroons on the back. I think it has a great flavor!

I am ready to buy this machine, but I would appreciate someone's review on extracting cream, butter, and oil from coconut with this machine. Thanks!

It's nothing but coconut milk. 100%. Nothing else. And it's pretty delicious. :)

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.
