Many readers will know about my annoyance with M&Ms and how America, and many other countries, gets tons of varieties and we in the UK get Peanut, Milk Chocolate and Crispy as an option if a shop is feeling adventurous. Well my other pet hate in the UK market is Coffee Mate. If you are British and reading this you will be thinking coffee whitener of which the full extent of the varieties available are full fat or low fat. Let me let you into a secret, in the States Coffee Mate have a multitude of interesting products. Yes they mostly go in coffee but they have lots of flavours some are powder based and some are creamers and there are even some liquid pump bottles. It is quite frustrating when you compare this the UK selection. Luckily though I managed to pick up these Coffee Mate Salted Caramel Chocolate Creamers via import and couldn’t wait to try them out in my coffee. I gave the pot a shake, opened it and revealed a light brown liquid and then I added it to my instant coffee to give it a try.
There was a gentle sweetness, a touch of chocolate and and just a hint of salt from the caramel. It was such a good flavour. This was a lovely addition to the drink, it made the coffee silky smooth too, and it felt a little more luxurious especially for an instant drink. I’m going to have to order a few more flavours, it turns out out I have lots of choices to explore. Come on Coffee Mate don’t forget the UK market.
