Cream for coffee

[TheLaughingMan]

Hi, does anyone know where you can buy cream for coffee like you do in the west (a cold carton in the fridge) thankyou 

[ThailandRyan]

Villa sells a Half cream, like a half/half.  Makro as well.  As far as the coffee creamers like back home they do not exist here in Thailand.  I make my own by adding liquid Vanilla and some other liquid flavorings like hazelnut and caramel to the Heavy Cream I use.

I must admit, I do miss those tasty creamers in the US.

I just get those bottles of flavoring vanilla or whatever but I just add in coffee TIT

I buy the Magnolia Half Cream product at Friendship Market.  You can order it online from TOPS or Shopee, and probably elsewhere as well.

 

Magnolia Half Cream

 

[Luuk Chaai]

you requested  cream...   not Half /Half, not flavored pancake batters... this one from Magnolia is sold @ Makro, Lotus, Villa Market and Tops           Unless your coffee is over the top acidic, it does not curdle.  It steams very well  for Cappuccino and the like.    Bonus it's keto friendly

I use this too as it's half the price of whipping cream. But the carton doesn't have any nutrition facts on it, and being a namby pamby woke keto dieter, I'm interested in carb content. The whipping cream is keto friendly, as someone else points out. Is this what you mean by "heavy cream"? I found it didn't keep well after opening even in the fridge. Both are great for protein shakes with coconut and almond milk.

[The Theory]

I use unsweetened almond milk as half/half. Much more healthier. ????

Yok Intertrade has all forms of cream.

Question:  for the tiny amount you add to coffee, does UHT whipping cream taste any different from regular whipping cream?   And does it really not spoil much, much longer in the fridge?

Don't know about the 'creams' but I actually like the taste of Dutch Mills' UHT version of whole milk over the fresh.

 

Also when buying, you really do need to read the label.  As 1 barista cream I looked at, had less fat content that Dutch Mill whole milk.

 

I just use milk, and it froths up rather nice, and I can get soft peaks, sort of, if I don't stop. Sure I'm sacrificing a bit of flavor by not using heavier creams, but like the flavor of the coffee to come thru also.

 

I prefer black or a frothy flat white.

Unfortunately the only sensible answer here. "goes well" I would translate as "just acceptable", but what can you do.

It is a question of shelf life, not taste.

 

Of course original whipping cream (or half/half - I did not try that) is much better taste-wise, but the pack lasts only about 3 days in the fridge once opened. The last resort would be to buy the smallest packs available, but this does not change the shelf life and this solution is still expensive.

 

No idea why they do not sell the "standard" coffee milk one is used to in Europe and which lasts ages.

Shudder????........To heck with the cream I'll take the whipping with a side of chicken thighs.....Shudder....????

[lemonwaterjoe]

 

Try this one, less than 20 THB per can. At Makro, Famlily Mart, Lazada, BigC, ...

[retiree]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Teapot Extra brand seems to be one of those "creamers" that consists mostly of sugar and palm oil, with a little bit of milk powder.

Check mate ! I just told my wife to bring one for trying. Hope she cannot find it.

 

What we wanted was Coffee Cream. Maybe some posters on AN have been brought up without and do not even know what Coffee Cream is. ????

 

We are saved, I could reach her by phone. She did not buy it yet. ????

I have really never had it,all we had is the fresh cream we skimmed of the fresh milk from the tank.

Tasted ok i guess.

The best is full fat real cream, but it is expensive and has a short shelf life. Coffee Cream (not creamer !) lasts very long even outside the fridge. It's a standard in every supermarket in Switzerland. You can order in every coffee shop a "Café creme". This is the standard coffee cup apart from Capuccino, Caffe Latte (Milchkaffee) - which I hate by the way and the other varieties.

If it's dairy based, surely it's not going to last long outside the fridge? What is it exactly? You can buy full cream powdered milk here in Foodland for instance, and online. That will last outside the fridge, but still best stored in it. It's ok in coffee and tea. I think some of the products mentioned here fall into the category of non-dairy creamers, for me to be avoided at all costs.

 

*Woke alert!*

 

Palm oil and sugar, massive deforestation worldwide, bad teeth, diabetes, etc, etc with the destruction of habitat and native land. But I suppose you could say the same about dairy production.

It is dairy based. Here is the picture of one pack with 20 portions - one for each Coffee. And it lasts long outside the fridge. And has nothing to do with Palm Oil etc.

 

 

 

This concludes my contribution to this topic. Up to you to believe me or drink your coffee black. I have been using this "Kaffeerahm" for ages (in Switzerland - unfortunately not here because of its unavailability)

Yes and yes.  I got the Oldenburger UHT Whipping Cream 200g from Tops (on sale at 95B for 2x200 ml containers -- note that 200ml is less than half a pint, so about 225B/quart).  Arrived cold, container says good for 1 month. 

 

But ... even just a bit to lighten the coffee tastes like the cream you get in little unrefrigerated liquid cream portions at conferences, and apparently in Switzerland.   I may start having my recurring nightmare about missing connecting flights again.

 

Next tests will be Barefoot's suggestion -- Magnolia half cream (115B/quart) and/or whipping cream (189B/quart).

This is exactly what I use. I pour some I to a cup add my vanilla extract and some cinnamon to it, mix it up and then add my coffee on top delicious.

I use their half cream as mentioned above. 115 THB. Can cook with it and make shakes. And great in coffee. But, no nutrition facts. How many carbs etc.

I googled it and got no information at all. Just 15% Fett whatever that is. Ah, ok, it's fat. What's the other 85%?

[retiree]

And the winner is ...  Magnolia half cream (115B/quart from Tops).  Tastes just like old-fashioned Half & Half squeezed from red-blooded American cows -- smooths the coffee but doesn't add its own peculiar flavor.   Definitely (ordinary) pasteurized, but not clear if it's been homogenized.   And there's no ingredient analysis on the carton or website; just says Low fat fresh cream made from fresh milk.

 

Carton is marked Best by ... one month from purchase date, and says consume within 48 hours after opening, which seems short.   I assume it will last a week or two in the fridge.  Science beckons!
