The Instacart guide to coffee creamers

If you're a coffee-lover, there's a good chance you've added coffee creamer to your coffee. While this is a big no-no for coffee purists, the truth is that coffee creamer changes the texture of coffee by making it thicker, more velvety, and more palatable. Without coffee creamers, some people find coffee a harsh and bitter experience. Therefore, those who use coffee creamers do so because it softens the bitterness in coffee, which it does by binding to the tannins in coffee. Coffee creamer lightens and sweetens coffee, and this simply makes it an enjoyable experience for many people. 

About coffee creamer

Be aware that shelf-stable non-dairy coffee creamers are usually made of oils and thickeners, along with sugars and flavorings in sweetened varieties. They can be high in fat and sugar, and calories add up, as consumers tend to use far more than the per-serving size indicated on the label. Many liquid creamers are lactose-free and gluten-free. Choose wisely to enjoy your next memorable morning cup of coffee that will taste great and won't pack on any unnecessary calories. 

Whatever kind of coffee creamer you desire, Instacart can help you shop for it at your local stores. Browse the varieties, place your order, and Instacart will deliver it in as little as 2 hours! You'll never have to go without creamer again.

If you're thinking about buying coffee creamer, there are multiple types available: 
  • Liquid vs. Powder: Liquid coffee creamer is stored in the refrigerator, while powdered coffee creamer is a non-refrigerated, shelf-stable product. 
  • Dairy vs. Non-dairy: Traditional coffee creamer is manufactured from cow's milk, but with the introduction of plant-based milk, consumers can now find various liquid non-dairy options. But did you know there are a few big-name brands that never contained dairy, such as International Delight? 
  • Flavored vs. Non-flavored: This comes down to taste. Some people want to enjoy the taste of their coffee, while others want to add a little flavor. 
For anyone looking to save time shopping, select your coffee creamer of choice when you order through Instacart. Once you've placed your order, an Instacart shopper will fill your order for you. You can receive your coffee creamer in as little as 2 hours when you order with Instacart!

How long does coffee creamer last?

In general, dairy coffee creamer that requires refrigeration will last about one to two weeks in the refrigerator. Always check the use-by or best-by date printed on the carton or bottle before consuming. Nondairy coffee creamers will also have the use-by or best-by date printed on their labels as well. 

You can tell if liquid coffee creamer has gone bad if you notice a change in its smell or texture. Be aware of clumps when pouring the creamer or a sour or not-quite-right smell. If you question whether it's still good to use, best to throw it out and buy fresh coffee creamer. 

Nondairy powdered coffee creamer fares better as far as shelf life because it's a shelf-stable product. If you store powdered coffee creamer properly away from moisture and at room temperature, a container of non-dairy powdered coffee creamer will retain its quality and taste for about 18 to 24 months. If properly stored, you might notice that it retains its fresh taste even beyond a few months past the use-by date on the label. Always remember to check the date on the label, and if you have any questions about whether it's fresh or not, it's always best to toss it and buy a fresh container of coffee creamer.
