Nestle Coffee-mate Original

I've been a morning coffee drinker now since about 2005, ever since my experience of living in the USA. Over in the US hardly anyone uses proper milk in their coffee, it's all about the powdered options. When I came home in 2006 of course I made my coffee with milk as it is traditionally done here in the UK, up until last year that is when I decided to give coffee mate a try. Now this powder comes in both an original option and a light original option, but I'm not overly concious when it comes to milky products, always choosing the full fat option, so this review is based on the full fat ... more

I've been reminded to write a review on Coffee mate after reading an amusing article in the paper a couple of months ago. Apparently a Tory MP on a trekking holiday was held at gunpoint after armed soldiers discovered a package of white powder in his rucksack. Highly suspicious, they assumed it was cocaine. Despite his pleas that it was only Coffee Mate, they didn't understand and forced him to eat it. It was only after he'd eaten several mouthfuls of the stuff that they believed him. It's funny, but I remember having done exactly the same thing myself. Not being held by armed guards, but ... more

How many times have you been caught out? The milk is running low and there's no time to nip out to the shops and then the doorbell rings, this is when a jar of Nestle Coffeemate is worth its weight in gold. I used to keep some of those individual pots of coffee cream in for the unexpected but to be honest Coffeemate is a far better proposition. Nestle have more than one Coffeemate to offer us nowadays, there is the ordinary version, the virtually fat free type , Coffeemate original and Coffeemate Latte Creations Vanilla. I had never even heard of the last one on the list! But it is a whitening ... more

The demise of the milkman regularly leaving my regular pint on my doorstep before I arose in the morning led to all manner of difficulties. The most aggravating of these was going to the fridge for milk for my early morning cup of coffee only to find that one of my sons had completely drained the bottle and generally put the empty bottle back in the fridge to further irritate me. I am not a lover of black coffee and being reduced to consuming my favourite brew in this condition put me in a thoroughly black mood for the whole day. I tried buying bigger cartons and long life milk but to no avail ... more

I bought Nestle’s Coffee Mate Original about a month ago in Sainsbury's. I use it regularly but today is the day when I have enough time to write a review about it. I wanted to bake Hokkaido milk-loaf and I needed some milk powder in it. I was wondering which brand to choose, but as I trust Nestle products I decided to buy this one. At the end of my review I will share the recipe of this wonderful milk-loaf. Unfortunately I have no photos, but next time I bake it I will make some photos and I’ll enclose. So back to this great product, I tried it in coffee as well. It has very nice texture ... more
