Does anyone use real cream in their coffee? I have been using half and half and its ok. I was checking out the heavy cream at the store and wondered if it would be any good in coffee. Has anyone ever tried this?

Heavy whipping cream is all I saw. I would like to try real cream, not half and half. Is heavy cream the same as regular cream?


I am not a cream expert :(

Heavy cream is fatty and delicious. Practically butter compared to milk or half and half. It would probably taste richer and be thicker with coffee, though I've never used it myself.

You can try it, but it might be a little overkill. Are you really after the taste of coffee or are you trying to turn the beverage into a candy bar?

I don't like the fu-fu flavored stuff. I like the.strong taste of half and half. I was assuming that was the cream part since you don't get that with milk.

I tried heavy whipping cream in my coffee when I was out of half and half, and believe me, H&H is better. The milk (in H&H) makes the cream sweeter.
