My Three “Regulars”
- By far my most drunk (or is it drank?) flavor of creamer is Vanilla. Of the two brands ID French Vanilla is definitely my preference. I find that the CM brand has a strange chemical taste to it. Of the types of ID French Vanilla, i.e. regular, sugar free, fat free – I like them all fairly equally, though I find that the sugar free is so sweet that I don’t need any other sweeteners but with the fat free and regular I do add a little sugar.
- I tried the CM brand of sweet cream first and then the ID brand. Though the CM brand was good and sort of tasted like sweetened whipped cream, while the ID brand tastes more like actual cream… I prefer the ID brand, but would happily drink either.
- I used to exclusively use the Irish Cream flavor, it was the first one I tried which was over 15 years ago. I found that over the years, regardless of the brand, it began to taste a little to chemically and a little too boozy. Now I dislike it so much I just avoid it altogether.
Honorable Mention
- My husband mostly doesn’t like flavored creamer, except Hazelnut. I find it pleasant enough but I not something I’d consider using on more than a once in a great while basis. I’ve tried both regular and sugar free versions and personally I prefer the ID brand because it doesn’t taste like chemicals, but my husband likes the CM brand better for exactly the same reason… strange huh?
Below is my personal opinion and preference…
Flavors | Winner |
ID French Vanilla VS. CM French Vanilla | ID French Vanilla |
ID Hazelnut VS. CM Hazelnut | ID Hazelnut |
ID Irish Crème VS CM Irish Crème | Draw / Dislike Both Equally |
ID Almond Joy™ VS. CM Coconut Crème | Draw / Dislike Both Equally |
ID York™ Peppermint Pattie VS. CM Girl Scout® Thin Mints® | Draw / Dislike Both Equally |
ID Cold Stone Creamery™ Sweet Cream VS. CM Italian Sweet Crème | ID Cold Stone Creamery™ Sweet Cream – by a fraction |
NOTES:
- This review is for Coffeemate brand and International Delight brand only
- I’m calling them “CM” & “ID” for short
- I have not tried every flavor of both brands but I have tried both flavors of both brands of anything I am reviewing here
