What has happened to the creaminess of Coffeemate?  It is now so thin it's like pouring skim milk in my coffee.  First I've had a lot of trouble finding Italian Sweet Creme (which is still happening). and now the consistency.  I read lots of reviews on Nestle's website and most are complaining about this.  Only one review had a response from Nestle saying that due to supply chain issues they've had to alter the recipe.  The bottles no longer say Non-Dairy and in small print it says it contains a milk derivative but it stil says Lactose free.

Anyone else having these issues?

I keep some around my house for any guests that might want it since I don't use milk.  Occasionally I will have a bit myself but not on a regular basis.

I just bought a new container recently since the old had expired.  I tried some in my coffee and it was just as you said.  I might as well have just put plain water in.  Normally it rivaled real cream for creaminess.

I thought it was just me.

 I thought it was just me! I'm having to use more in my coffee, also I'm lactose intolerant. 
  Most cheaper creamers are worse. 
  I wish we could return to dairy delivered milk with real cream on top like when I was a kid. But we didn't have lactaid then so I didn't use much on cereal!

@WORKING GAL  YES!  I agree with everything you said.  I preferred this brand over the others because it was thicker (a little went a long way) and had better flavor.  But the last bottle I bought was no better than the consistency of skim milk.  So, while in Costco yesterday, they had a very large bottle of Starbucks's Creamer there and I bought it.  It is thicker and the flavor is good.  So, will purchase this from now on.

They probably watered it down to save money.

@1Snickers what you're looking for is non-homogenized milk where the cream rises to the top.

I live rural and it's easy to find here. DS has found it at Whole Foods I think in their 365 house brand.

Mine is still creamy but I'm using the two super size ones I bought a month ago.  I'm going to be seriously bummed out if they have watered it down.

I have been using a generic house brand creamer for years.  Love it.   Recently, it was out of stock so I bought a bottle of Coffeemate.  It was watery and almost transparent. 

What the heck??? 

I think this recipe change mistake is going to cost them dearly in the long run.

I use the original coffeemate. I don't like anything flavored. It still seems the same to me, but I don't always notice things like that.

The only ones I use and like are Whole Foods 365 Vanilla one and the Hazelnut one.  I use a little in yogurt I make sometimes to barely sweeten it and maybe in some iced latte occasionally.
