I have always bought the Italian Sweet Cream and I loved it. Recently I have bought several bottles and they all taste peculiar, not at all like they used to. The last bottle I bought I threw out. No more for me. Lesson 1.- when something works don't change it!

I have been buying this product for years and it has always been my favorite! However, the last two bottles I've purchased tasted different. It now has a chemical taste with a bad aftertaste. It reminds me of the sugar free version which I hate. At first I thought maybe it had gone bad so I bought another one and the taste was the same. This morning I tried just the creamer before putting my coffee in and it was horrible! I'm so disappointed because it used to be so good. But something has clearly changed in the last few months (September-December 2023). Reading other customer's reviews let me know that I'm not crazy and that the recipe has changed, and not for the better. I sincerely hope this was a fluke and that it will be changed back, otherwise I will need to start buying a different brand of creamer.

Coffee mate you have totally ruined this recipe. It totally destroyed my good tasting coffee for me to look forward to when I get up every day. Why ruin a good thing. This is not the first time the ingredients were out of balance. Don't you listen to these reviews I doubt it. Whoever changed the recipe, you have made a big mistake because I will not be buying this creamer anymore.

COFFEE MATE ITALIAN SWEET CREME We are long time users of this product but unfortunately all bottles of this product with a December 2020 expatriation date appear to have an off / sour taste. Posts on the Coffee Mate website reveals this is a wide spread nation wide problem. Just make sure you keep your receipts. After tossing two large bottles we have bought more and they were bad also. We are very thankful for Walmart's return policy. Gainesville, TX area.

I buy Sweet Italian Cream religiously! About a month ago bought my creamer as always and poured it into my coffee. It had a sour, horrible taste. Thought it was just me. I asked my mom and she said the same thing. Bought another bottle and the same thing. It just keeps getting worse. Every bottle seems to taste a little differently. I don't know what you've done but please fix it.

It is terrible. It's sickenly, artificially sweet without creaminess. This has been our only, go-to cream for years. We even pack it on trips. We thought maybe we got a bad batch and purchased another, that reminded us how wonderful the former was -- and noticed the different packaging. The new (terrible) ones show a picture of a glass mug versus a ceramic mug (the good ones). So we raided our local stores for the remaining older ones and hope you change it back by the time we run out. Otherwise, we're going to move to another brand.

Over a decade ago, the girl who would eventually become my wife and I found coffee mate's Italian sweet cream creamer together and it became the absolute staple for every coffee drink we would continue to have throughout the ensuing years. Every morning it would go in my brewed coffee thermos for work or anytime we wanted a relaxing summer weekend with an Irish coffee, it would go in with the classic drink mixture. A few months ago (now in 2023) I bought the large bottle and thought that it tasted sour, as if it had gone bad. I threw it away and bought another one and it also tasted disgusting. My wife tried it and said, "wow, yeah, there is something wrong with this! Maybe there was a large local shipment that went bad?" I reached out to coffee mate and they were at least honest enough to let me know that they had changed the formula and stated that they were sorry I didn't care for it anymore. They were gracious enough to send me some free coupons for creamer, but unfortunately all that means is that I could now go obtain more of the creamer my wife and I no longer enjoyed for free or we could get one of their other flavors (which by no stretch could even remotely equal what the Italian sweet cream used to taste like for the majority of our lives) and our long-term "coffee memories" together. I have attempted to find a substitute among several other brands, but have not found one I enjoy. An enormous part of our morning and evening life is gone. Every once in a blue moon, I'll reluctantly pick up a smaller bottle of the "new" Italian creamer, but only if I have enough cocoa powder to mask the new heavily diminished flavor as much as possible. The old formula was 5 stars and beyond, but the new one is 1 or 2 at the very best. Please please bring back the classic flavor, or (if you must) produce them both and market the new one with a different title so those who loved the original formula can differentiate it and happily buy ilthe classic formula again long into the future!

My mother and I have been drinking Italian sweet cream for years and it is our favorite. About a month ago we noticed our tea smelled weird....like sour milk. We assumed it was a bad carton and threw it out even though it was brand new. We purchased again and got a small and large Container and they were both exactly the same! We thought it might be the grocery store so we tried one from a different store and it was the same! Our tea has a weird smell and then when you drink it it has a nasty aftertaste. I went online to see if anyone else had experienced this and I was shocked at how many other people have also had gross creamer. There's obviously something weird going on and hopefully you can figure it out because we have wasted over $50 and have decided to use the cold stone creamery creamer instead. Please fix it though because this is our favorite!!

Something is really off about the flavor of this creamer. It has a horrid aftertaste. My bottle has not expired... just bought it a few days ago. It tastes like a bad chemistry experiment using nail polish, cream, and artificial sweeteners. (I did not buy the sugar free version.) 64 oz. of wasted money. I literally poured it down the drain. Undrinkable. I'm super disappointed.

This was the only creamer I've used for years and suddenly the flavor is drastically different. I bought a second bottle to be sure it was maybe mislabeled, unfortunately it's not. It tastes like vanilla or something. Why change it? It's terrible tasting now.
