BulletproofFrench Vanilla Creamer, 14.8 Ounces, Keto Coffee Creamer with MCT Oil and Grass-Fed Butter

Edited review. Well, I wouldn't say I liked this creamer the 1st time I tried it, but not wanting to throw away expensive creamer, I decided to try it one more time. So I did, and it was bearable the 2nd time. So I tried it the 3rd time, and I liked it! Whew! I've had it in my coffee every single day now! And I just ordered another one! My Nespresso coffee maker makes nice hot coffee, so I didn't experience the Bulletproof creamer and MCT oil not dissolving into the coffee.Original review: I had high hopes for this creamer, but man....I just don't like the strong metallic aftertaste! I wish they had a sample size for me to try but now I am out $30 for trying something that I didn't like! Expensive!

So yes, this bulletproof Coffee Creamer (French Vanilla) is expensive. However, if you are familiar with a few things this is amazing and worth it.*Key points. Mixing, Flavor and Cost.**Side not. Yes it does 'smell' unpleasant. But it tastes good.The mixing. This can take time. Now if you have ever been a kitchen person and know how mixing powdered ingredients into liquid ingredients works, this is easy. If not it may take practice. It is somewhat like your powdered (coffee mate) type creamers. Just a little slower mixing. You need to allow it to sit and slowly dissolve. If mixed improperly you will get clumps. You need to allow the creamer to 'dissolve' before mixing. To fix this you can go to a dollar store or Walmart and get a cheap hand held frother. This will speed up the process. Highly recommend doing so or the clumps most likely will be an issue.The 'flavor'/'sweetness'. I only use 1 scoop a day. My coffee cup is about 2 cups. 1 scoop is a perfect amount. (If my coffee cup was only 1 cup. I would only use a max of half a scoop) As I drink my coffee I slowly top off my cup which also helps with the flavor and sweetness. I also mix my coffee with butter and heavy cream.This is how I do it.* Add butter to cup, fill cup halfway with coffee. I start with 2-3 TBS of butter. (You have to froth the butter until it is well mixed or you will have a layer of melted butter on top.) I then add a little more coffee to cup. Froth a second or two. I then add the Coffee creamer. (Froth good to avoid clumps.) When well mixed I add a touch more coffee. Just enough for about 2-4 TBS of Heavy Cream to be added to your cup. Once Bulletproof creamer is well mixed with coffee and butter, I add Fresh Local Heavy Cream. This combination counteracts the sweetness/flavor and cools the coffee enough to start drinking.** I do HIGHLY recommend a hand held electric Frother. It will speed the process up.This does take time to properly mix. If you are in a 'rush' may be slightly inconvenient. Again if properly mixed it is indeed worth it.Cost! Yikes!! According to coffee pots I make '6 cups'. With my large cup that works just fine for me. Considering that, and I only use 1 scoop of Bulletproof coffee creamer a day. I can justify the cost. It works out that 1- 14.8oz tub of Bulletproof Creamer will last me about 1 month. All at once I cringe at the cost at checkout. *If you have to have your coffee extremely sweet and drink coffee throughout the day, it may not be as cost effective. (Simply depends on your creamer/coffee ratio) as well as your creamer/coffee intake throughout the day.* For me, the bulletproof creamer works out to roughly (rounding evenly) about $1 a day. So to me it is worth it for the benefits of the creamer.Long review I know, I am sorry. I am trying to explain a little bit in regards to the negative reviews while also adding my tips and the selling points that got me.Just as any food product/recipe you need to find your techniques and desired flavors/results. Just as you would when trying a 'new' recipe. You follow directions first time. Then you tweak the recipe and make it your own.I hope this review is helpful for making an educated decision on whether to try or not try this product.

The directions on the label says "1 scoop equals 2 1/2 Tablespoons. So I did one scoop in my coffee mug. Yikes! it was extremely sweet, tasted almost like a milk latte. I couldn't taste my coffee which was a dark roast. The taste was delicious but it was overwhelmingly sweet. I am going to use 1 teaspoon instead. My recommendation is to use less, then taste your beverage, you can always add more to your liking.

Yuck! Do yourself a favor and buy the Original, unsweetened flavor instead of the sweetened varieties. I normally love french vanilla, but this taste is aweful. I'm throwing out the container, because I want to enjoy my coffee, not suffer through it. That's how bad it is. Just bad enough that I'll take the $30 loss.To be clear, it isn't the vanilla flavor itself that's gross, but the Splenda-like (sucralose) taste and slightly bitter, chemical aftertaste that just lingers on your tongue long after your coffee is gone. Even after eating and drinking lots of water, the subtle Splenda-like aftertaste lingers.Yet this creamer is sweetened with stevia (not Splenda), which has me confused. I've tasted stevia extract (Rebaudioside A) many times before, and usually I find it has a decent flavor. It's worth noting however that while (as of the timing of this review) the Amazon product listing shows that this product is sweetened with Rebaudioside "A", there appears to have been an ingredient change, as the product I received shows instead that this creamer is actually sweetened with Rebaudioside "M" (which I've never tasted before now), with no mention of the Reb. A stevia extract. A quick Google search confirms that in fact these are two different stevia extracts.In any case, save yourself the frustration: Buy the Original flavor. If you want your coffee sweetened, add your own sweetener. The Splenda-like flavor of this French Vanilla is so overpowering, I could hardly even taste the coffee beans.PRO TIP: Since many reviewers are reporting that this powdered creamer doesn't mix well, ignore the instructions on the container, which tell you to brew your coffee first, then stir in the powder. Those instructions will get you a clumpy cup of coffee, guaranteed. First and foremost: buy a Keurig coffeemaker. You've got pour the powder into your EMPTY mug, AND STIR IMMEDIATELY WHILE the coffee is still pouring into your mug... otherwise, yes, this stuff will clump together and not mix well at all. Begin stirring AS SOON AS the first drop of coffee touches the powder at the bottom of your mug. The creamer should be fully mixed into your coffee before your mug stops filling up. It mixes in quite nicely, as intended, if you do it that way.
