It doesn&#8217;t begin and end with vanilla. A quick look at Dreyer&#8217;s site tells me it has French Vanilla, Vanilla Bean, and a regular Vanilla. Breyers has Extra Creamy Vanilla, Natural Vanilla, Homemade Vanilla, and French Vanilla.<\/p>\n<p>For many years, the two biggest coffee creamer brands haven&#8217;t expanded their vanilla portfolios beyond French Vanilla. But that has changed for Coffee mate with the rollout of its new Vanilla Bean variety. I&#8217;ll admit, it&#8217;s not as glamorous as the Rice Krispies Treats and Golden Grahams creamers that the brand introduced at the same time, but it&#8217;s nice to have another basic vanilla flavor.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering, unlike the ice cream, no vanilla bean specks are floating in this. I mean, I didn&#8217;t expect there would be because who wants something that looks like coffee grinds to be floating in their coffee.<\/p>\n<p>The creamer smells like vanilla frosting and, straight out of the bottle and into my mouth, it tastes like a combination of frosting and ice cream. I&#8217;m not going to say it&#8217;s specifically vanilla bean ice cream, though.<\/p>\n<p>I find it a bit more vanilla-y than Coffee mate&#8217;s French Vanilla. However, in coffee, its flavor doesn&#8217;t stand out as much as the older vanilla creamer does, which causes me to add more than I usually do to hide the coffee&#8217;s taste adequately, and in turn, I go through a bottle quicker.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not a complete deal-breaker because this is still a perfectly okay tasting creamer. But when I&#8217;m half awake and don&#8217;t even know what day it is, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d like to be reminded every morning that I need to add more creamer than usual by taking my first sip of the day and then muttering &#8220;dammit&#8221; because I can still strongly taste the cheap McCafe ground coffee I use.<\/p>\n<p>I had high hopes for this variety because last year&#8217;s Coffee mate Caramel was surprisingly great for a basic flavor. It had a potent, natural-ish taste when mixed in my coffee. Also, I was hoping for something I could occasionally switch with French Vanilla since I&#8217;ve had it way too many times, thanks to it being two bottles of a Coffee mate refrigerated creamer 3-pack that Costco sells. But it appears I&#8217;ll still be sticking with it and the Cold Stone Creamery Sweet Cream flavor that the other big creamer brand sells.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Coffee mate will add another vanilla variety someday. Might I recommend Extra Creamy Vanilla, Natural Vanilla, or Homemade Vanilla?<\/p>\n<p><strong>DISCLOSURE:<\/strong> I received a free product sample from Coffee mate.
