Too Many Coffee Creamers: A Taste Test

[@SovietGrazz]

'Homemade coffee creamer' is just the type of weird, hilarious vibe I love from this channel. Go for it!

@@TheNinnyfee I would hardly call it mocking. There is a huge population of people (not including myself) that really enjoy mouth sounds and slurping for the ASMR.

He turned into the Joker there

[@Bayofthe91st]

Also "Just called it Almond, Coward! " is a great word to be slapped on his merch

[@themchannel853]

His joy from the Rice Krispies creamer was absolutely contagious, thank you it made me smile.

[@wanyeng]

He found the magic laughing potion.

[@CassBlast5]

Hearing James call it a “popped tart” really made my day

[@KytheAltheas]

Do a round 2 of holiday flavors this winter. Eggnog, pumpkin spice, etc. there are TONS of them to try.

[@jdsutter]

Yes! This! ☝️

[@illdrinn]

Definitely! Pumpkin spice creamer remains my favourite

[@neojng]

ill be surpised if you can get them in the UK, no one here really uses creamers.

[@carprincess]

I didn’t think I’d prefer the non-slurp audio, but like… I really appreciated it! Thank you team for creating the extra track

[@Kaizark]

James your non-slurp audio setting has saved me. My wife has misophonia and while we love your coffee insight at first slurp she'd have to tap out. Thank you for taking the extra time to create the second audio track for people like her who might have a visceral reaction to such sounds. You're the best!

[@sh8736]

Watching this 9 hours after publication, there is lot of slurping and no audio track. Looking for a button to press to activate it!

[@Bea-a-deer]

@@sh8736 if youre on the YT app, in the upper right corner of the video tap settings. At the very bottom there is the option “Audio Tracks” the slurp is labeled “English (United States) dubbed”

[@Tyler5ht]

@@sh8736press the little gear button and then audio track to change it!

[@michaeljones5681]

​@@sh8736if you're on mobile tap on the player and go for the settings cog. You should see an audio track option tap that and select dubbed and the sluping disappears like magic

[@nickrowe3142]

the added audio without slurping is amazing and shows how much effort you've put in this "test"

[@atlys258]

The fact that James got what appears to be the most enjoyment out of the branded collabs (what I figured was going to be the most detestable segment) is hilariously unexpected and then at 11:26 that instant reaction and laugh and "No" had me so weak 😂😂😂

[@Pikmin012]

I think he was well over-caffeinated by that point

[@theswad]

YES PLEASE to the homemade coffee creamer investigation video. I would love a shelf stable version, but also a rich bougie full dairy recipe too.

[@competentwoman9137]

pastry chef speaking: French vanilla is a term that initially came from the world of ice cream, and actually has nothing to do with the vanilla itself but refers to the fact that the ice cream base contains eggs! so sometimes it can indicate more of that custardy flavor, but more often than not I think it's just adding in the international word to make it sound fancy and European :P

[@chaizea9429]

i love that even though he is a coffee expert, sometimes he has one-word, very uncomplex reactions to things, like just 'weird' or 'no' hahaha because that is totally how I react to things as a non-expert

[@jeff__w]

Just for fun, it might be interesting to try Japanese coffee creamers. It seems like food scientists in Japan have more of a commitment to authentic-tasting flavors.

[@kikaiko99]

I have found this in Japanese candies like Hi-chew. The mango is very close to a tree ripe fruit!

[@jeff__w]

@@kikaiko99 That’s consistent with my impression. I’m not sure if that’s about Japanese consumers not putting up with ersatz flavors or the more general Japanese cultural predilection towards “perfection” or both.

[@weregretohio7728]

In America, we're just pigs at the trough for corporations like Nestle.

[@migonads]

Any specific one? I would like to try

[@DovidM]

A co-worker commented that strawberry or ichigo flavoring is all over the map in convenience store foods. It ranges from tasting like real frozen strawberries to very ersatz versions that are pretty distant from the real thing.

[@LoveThePresent]

I would love to see you conduct a taste test for dairy-based creamers that you would actually consider using in your coffee. Like Chobani or some other brands that don’t use a lot of artificial ingredients.

[@daynaandsteve]

Same, I love the chiobani. Simple list of ingredients.

[@zoemartin1761]

Ahhh yes I clicked on this to see if he had the Chobani but he doesn’t. Chobani is amazing and has recently expanded its flavor list.

[@j61101]

Maybe Starbucks creamer to compare

[@florabtw]

Yeah, Coffee Mate was way over-represented here. Often the brand of coffee creamer is more important than the flavor. There are also better dairy-free creamers available that weren't present here! Like Califia and SOWN.

[@Sporeality]

Thank you for doing a non-slurp track; I loved your content before but having this version just makes it that tiny bit more accessible!

[@nahor88]

I just kept hitting "M" on my keyboard every time he brought the spoon to his mouth, lol.

[@emmaknightley]

I don't need it, but the "No-slurp" track is one of the most thoughtful things I've seen on KZbin in a long time.

[@JuiceBoxScott]

Saying Nestle "has a stellar reputation otherwise" made me laugh harder than I think I've ever laughed at a KZbin video. Caught me off guard. Bravo!!

[@AuthenTech]

I like how James acts more and more buzzed as he progresses

[@rach9110]

Not only am I grateful for the no slurp audio but I also incredibly grateful that you put yourself through trying these for us! As someone who has never tried coffee "cremes", I now know (that I probably don't need to) which single one I could get that might be worth trying! Thank you! Your time and effort is so appreciated. 10/10 video!

[@ianzmann99]

I really appreciate you and your editors taking the time to remove the slurping sounds - absolute lifesaver.

[@yungbosshogg]

Thank you so much for the non-slurping audio track! A very elegant solution, and I hope it's not too much work for your editors to keep doing in the future. It's very much appreciated!

[@fatalynn7]

100% Ditto. I enabled it immediately as he said it. So appreciated.

[@markdermer]

James being subjected to things and seeing his no-possible-way-to-hide reaction always makes my day.

[@contrabone]

I must applaud whoever made the subtitles, they added an entire extra layer of enjoyment.

[@CROldham]

"Slurp"..."(configuring)"...🤣

[@stevie943]

Great, now I need to re-watch the entire video with subtitles.

[@richardhaselwood9478]

It could make the upcoming Hames Jofferman video even better 😆

[@contrabone]

@@stevie943 You won't (regret) it!

[@grantmix545]

I just have to thank you for the immense genius and kindness of having a slurp-free version!! Please set this trend ❤

[@phranerphamily]

Very rarely can a KZbin host make me giggle when I'm not watching the television but listening to it. You totally brought that home with the Rice Krispies Treats. I'm still giggling and it's 5 minutes later. Thanks for pushing through.

[@austinbevis4266]

I died when he said “popped tart”

[@phranerphamily]

@@austinbevis4266 he did it twice 😂😂

[@TheNinnyfee]

As James is not a giggly person this was a treat. 😊
