Actually, liquid coffee creamer has more calories than heavy cream and comes in a variety of flavors. That’s not to say that I don’t like coffee with heavy cream but coffee creamer just is more versatile because it’s also already sweet.

I’m not the biggest caramel fan but I’ll see what else tickles my fancy. That sounds like such a good addition

Kitsune:
I recently saw a Super Bowl ad for cold foam which reminded me of this thread. My store carries some brands of this stuff. Not sure how fattening it is but I imagine it's similar calories to whip cream. I hope this gives you inspiration!

Munchies:
Cold foam is usually just whipped milk. It's not as sweet as whipped cream. It's also lighter and airier because it's made to kinda meld with the drink. Give it a smooth, creamy texture.

Kitsune:
Such a shame it's not as sweet. Still sounds intriguing to try though.


Yeah, they are different because they are used for different things. So, depending on what you are going for, you may want to use cold foam over whipped cream and vice versa.

If you don’t have one already, get a device that will allow you to make espresso. You can get stovetop pots pretty cheap, or a machine if your budget is higher. In my experience, putting cream into normal coffee tends to result in a strong and unpleasant creamy flavor, but the stronger flavor of espresso masks the cream more effectively, and the small size of an espresso shot lets you get a full serving’s worth of caffeine out of a drink that is mostly cream by volume. I also add a couple tablespoons of brown sugar to mine and some cinnamon on top.

main difference is straight heavy cream has protein, fat, and lactose as a carb, no simple sugars. Coffee Creamer has a ton of sugar (unless its artificial sweetener).
