This is a very good replacement for dairy half and half or light cream in your coffee, although it definitely isn't exactly the same. However, if you understand that this is a replacement, and not a substitute, I think you'll be very happy. I purchased this during my first Whole30, and was really pleased. I now use it as my regular "creamer" for coffee, as a way to keep as much sugar out of my diet as possible.
My experience has been similar to others, although I don't have as many issues with the separating -- maybe once or twice, but I'm chalking that up to the coffee I used it in, rather than the product, because I've had the same container of nutpods behave differently depending on the beverage. Definitely be sure to shake it up before you use it. Also, do refrigerate it. I got lax with that, because I was carrying it around in my purse to use on a trip, and by day two or three it was noticeably not OK.
This is 100% NOT International Delight or Coffeemate. The flavor is subtle, and there is no sugar. But if you want a little something to cut the bitterness of your coffee and add a little flavor, it is perfect.
I've always been a heavy cream in my coffee person and in recent times have had to face the reality that I need to eliminate dairy from my diet. I tried making a bulletproof style coffee with ghee, but I like having several cups of coffee as a pleasurable drinking ritual or even as part of a social setting and finding Nutpods has been nothing less than amazing! I have even discovered that it whips really well (warm or cold) to allow me the option of lattes. I have tried all flavors and the seasonal Pumpkin one was great and I look forward to future limited edition options. We just recently have been using the original flavor to make hot cocoa - SO good!
Real talk. I usually drink half/half in my coffee. I like my coffee to very light and creamy. My husband and I decided to do Whole 30. So cut our dairy for 30 days along with other things. I STRUGGLED because there was no nut milk that made my coffee drinkable. I NEED CAFFEINE! I bought Nutpods and they saved me...and my family. I use way more than serving size. Its expensive for the amount I use. Hazelnut was the best flavor. They were all good though. My skin is clearer and I feel better off dairy, so I subscribed and saved. Buy it you'll love it.
This is my new favorite creamer! I truly love it! I was hesitant at first, but took a chance based on recommendations through Whole30. I am really happy with it!
We try to eat/drink as healthy as possible even down to the creamer in our coffee. Was skeptical when I first ordered this as a 3-pack, but we are now on our 2nd 12-pack order. I love that the ingredients are healthier than many store-bought creamers. We grind and brew our coffee. At first I had to adjust using this because it didn't make my coffee look as "creamy" as the CoffeeMate/Bliss creamers, BUT the taste is the same especially with the French Vanilla flavor. It is the perfect complement to our organic coffee which we buy online at Amazon as well, 2LB Cafe Don Pablo Subtle Earth Organic Gourmet Coffee - Light Roast - Whole Bean, 2 Pound. If you're skeptical, try the 3-pack Nutpods first. I'm sure you'll be "Subscribing and Saving" on Amazon with a 12-pack order soon as well!

I’m full on addicted to these. I do 2-3 tablespoons along with 1 tablespoon MCT oil, frothed and then add coffee, it’s so delicious and filling. You can absolutely skip the MCT oil, I just like a healthy dose of fats right away to Get my metabolism going. Another reviewer recommended frothing and I’m so thankful, it’s truly a game changer. Before I started frothing, the nutpods would sometimes separate in my coffee which was not very appetizing. Frothing makes my coffee into a true Starbucks style drink each morning but without the $4 price and all the sugar and nasty chemicals they add.
I love pumpkin spice in the fall but vanilla is my go to the rest of the year. The original is fine, but not my favorite. Don’t care for the hazelnut and haven’t been fortunate enough to get the mocah flavor yet, it sold out before I could try it.
The flavors are very mild but satisfying! I truly hate going a morning without them, thanks to subscribe and save I seldom have to! Another bonus, they don’t need to be refrigerated until they are opened, so I can take them with me wherever I go! So far they’ve come with me to the Dominican and Mexico :)
Happy frothing! I hope you love them as much as I do!
I am seeking dairy-free, gluten-free products due to a recent health diagnosis. I love a good cup of coffee and I use half-and-half in it. I tried all of the non-dairy creamers in the refrigerated case at the grocery stores and was not satisfied with what I found. Most had an after-taste that I did not care for. One was too sweet. I am glad I discovered nutpods. Besides tasting like a dairy product, I love that it comes non-refrigerated. I can keep extras on-hand without worrying that the product will spoil.
The only negative comment I have is that I use more nutpods than I do coffee creamer in my coffee.
This creamer tastes very good. It has a real vanilla, slightly sweet, flavor, not a chemical one and it does NOT have a coconut taste or after taste. That was a good thing to me as I don"t particularly like the taste of coconut. On the negative side, hence 4 not 5 stars, is that it takes more to achieve the "creamer" effect that I can get from milk or half and half. Not to say I want a little coffee with my creamer, but I do like it to have it's "creamer" effect. Over all, I'll buy this again as it has other benefits over dairy and other chemical based creamers on my health. That is worth the small additional cost.
Yummy.
I can't use the disgustingly sweet 'creamers' sold in mainstream grocery stores. If I wanted sugar in my coffee I would add it myself.
This diary free unsweetened creamer French Vanilla is the best substitute for Half & Half that I have found. There are several other flavors.
I tried the Chocolate-Orange holiday flavor, and I'm not sure what I think of that. I like that is not overpoweringly sweet, and even the chocolate-orange flavor is subtle. I'm not sure yet if I like it in my black tea or coffee. I think it would be great to using in cooking, puddings, etc.
Note: you really have to shake this stuff well before you use it. If you don't it will seems watery when you first use it. I'm sure they could add ingredients that make it a more even consistency, but I don't really want an unneeded additive just so I don't have to shake it, do you? "Low fat" half & half dairy products and many other non-dairy products accomplish the desired consistency by using additives. I would rather exercise my wrist.
I really like Nutpods, particularly the French Vanilla flavor. If you are looking for something sickly sweet like you would get at Starbucks, then this product is not for you. If, however, you are avoiding dairy for any reason (allergy, paleo, Whole30, etc.) then this product is the answer to your prayers. Nothing else that I've found comes close to the level of creaminess this product provides without a lot of nasty additives. The flavor is subtle, but good. I have them on subscribe and save and will continue to order them each month as the answer to my non-dairy coffee needs.
