Coffeemate

Non-dairy creamers are liquid or granular substances intended to substitute for milk or cream as an additive to coffee or other beverages. They do not contain lactose and are therefore not dairy products; accordingly, some parts of the world require the alternate term non-dairy whiteners that does not imply the presence of real cream.

History

The first commercial powdered creamer was "Pream" in 1952; made from dehydrated cream and sugar it had the problem of not dissolving easily because of the protein in the milk. Six years later Carnation developed "Coffee-Mate Non Dairy Creamer", which did dissolve as it replaced most of the milk product with dried vegetable oil.

The world's first non-dairy powdered creamer, Coffeemate, was first introduced to the American public in 1961. Coffeemate now sells twenty varieties of powder creamer and thirty-eighty varieties of liquid creamer, the most common flavors being The Original Coffee Creamer, French Vanilla, and Hazelnut which come in Regular, Fat-Free, and Sugar-Free.

Ingredients

To replicate the mouthfeel of milk fats, non-dairy creamers often contain vegetable-based fats, although non-dairy non-fat creamers/whiteners also exist. Other common ingredients include sodium caseinate (a milk protein (casein) derivative that does not contain lactose), corn syrup or other sweeteners and flavorings.

Non Traditional Use

At one point in time, somebody, somewhere decided to see if powdered coffee creamer would ignite in midair, and surely to their amazement, they found that large quantities make beautiful, and pleasant-smelling fireballs. The amateur film scene has jumped on this opportunity to create hollywood-style explosions on a low budget. All one needs is non-dairy creamer, an ignition source (a burning coal or a road flare for example), and a way to propel the creamer (i.e. compressed air or bike pump). One of the key advantages in using coffee creamer is that it only burns in midair; as soon as the creamer touches the ground, it goes out, making coffee creamer a much safer alternative to using gasoline.
