Coffee mate Liquid Creamer Singles, Italian Sweet Creme, 50 Count

Italian sweet creme sits at the sweet-cream end of the Coffee mate range rather than the vanilla end. Nestle describes it as an Italian gelato flavor with a hint of buttercream frosting, which is close to how it drinks: where a French vanilla lays a clear vanilla note over the coffee, this one reads as rounded dairy sweetness with only a faint bakery echo behind it. People who find vanilla creamers too perfumed usually land here.

Fifty tubs to a carton, 0.375 fl oz apiece, which is one mug's pour and takes the guesswork out of it. The tubs are shelf stable and stay sealed until the second somebody peels a lid, so the fiftieth cup tastes like the first.

Sweet creme is the flavor caterers and break room buyers pick when they want a single creamer that drinks like a small treat, since it flatters an ordinary pot of drip coffee more than it does a carefully made single origin.
