NESTLE COFFEE-MATE Coffee Creamer, French Vanilla, 1.5L liquid pump bottle, Pack of 2
The concept of this is terrific and compared to many similar products this is far superior.
This is good for the office as it lasts for ever and far superior to dry creamer in taste and digestion (at least from my perspective).
The problem is that it lasts forever. What does that tell you? Nothing natural lasts forever. There are 3g of sugar in a teaspoon and some chemicals that I am sure over long term cant be great for you. This means dieters and diabetics... steer clear.
The rest of you youngsters, have at it. You will probably burn it off in all your shenanigans and tom foolery!
Hang on, "GET OFF MY LAWN". Okay, where was I?
The Pump comes per bottle. if you order a double pack you get two. This should expire around a month and I never had a pump go bad with use. I broke a pump initially trying to figure out it's assembly, but once you see the trick (or actually read the directions) it is pretty easy.
Now please Nestle, find a way to do this with stevia or more natural ingredients. Kudo's on the ingenuity and problem solving though.
I have used two of these and have had no problem with the pumps clogging. The pumps do have a tamper resistant thread to prevent someone from toying with it in a public situation. The locking part can be disabled before inserting the pump into the bottle to be able to remove for cleaning if necessary. As for the creamer itself, it's great. One pump is equal to one single container.
It's a pleasure not having to keep a bottle in the refrigerator or to use the powder type. And the spout doesn't drip after using it since it closes off after use. Will definitely re-order.
I never dreamed it would be this good! I have used Coffee Mate in powder form for decades at home. I recently ordered this in the liquid form with a pump dispenser. WOW! It tastes like real cream, unlike the powder version. It enhances the taste of hot coffee tremendously, for me at least. Now my home brewed coffee (with the liquid coffee mate) tastes like coffee in a fine restaurant. I love that the pump doesn't drip! I will definitely be a happy convert to this liquid form of my favorite brand coffee creamer.
Update:
4 bottles (2 fv/2hazelnut) have lasted 2 of us more than 8 months. Huge bargain over the powder. Yes, the pump does stick sometimes, which is frustrating. Usually soaking the tip in hot water helps. The leftovers in the bottom of the bottle total less than one pot's use of creamer. I have read somewhere the "shelf life" is 30 days - we've had no problems with having these items open on our counter for 90+ days.
I think they add great flavor and definitely taste better than plain milk. I wish these were more eco-friendly with an unscrewable pump to simply move from bottle to bottle, or for moving/storage, but otherwise I'm very satisfied with the product.
Technically I don't love this because I don't drink coffee, but my husband does as he uses it in his coffee. He switches between the French Vanilla and the Original flavor. What I like about it as it saves a tremendous amount of milk. We live in a rural area that can get a significant amount of snow and the last thing you want to do is keep running to the store for more milk because hubby used it all in his coffee. Now the milk lasts long enough to not inspire extra trips into town. So the set up for these creamers are really efficient for us.
10-3-17 Edited to add: My husband has been using this coffee creamer for several years now. He love the taste and with all the containers of this that he has gone through, he has never once had problems with the pump clogging up as some other buyers have had. We got the first container free to do a review for Amazon's Vine program, and have been buying it ever since he likes it so much. Taste is in the mouth of the taster so even if some don't like the taste, doesn't mean you won't.

Description
NESTLE COFFEE-MATE Coffee Creamer, Sweetened Original, 1.5L liquid pump bottle, Pack of 1
This is the same large pump seen at gas stations and other commercial self-serve coffee locales.
The first time I got one, it was hard to figure out how to open. The best advice I can give is to hold the bottle with one hand and twist the pump with the other, in the direction indicated on the arrow, slightly pressing down as you do so. Fairly quickly, the pump will pop up.
Note: you cannot take the pump off once you put it on. It locks into place and has a mechanism that won't allow it to be turned the other way.
It tastes fine, but I took off a star because it has more sugar than the other versions of their creamer (refrigerated liquid or powdered).
This is the 2nd bottle of this that I have purchased. The first bottle was at Sam's Club and I was very Pleased with it. I am a Big Coffee Drinker and have almost reached the end of this bottle with a new bottle being delivered today and I scheduled a delivery on the 3rd of the month from now on. I can hardly wait until this Fall when the Pumpkin Pie Spice Flavor which is Seasonal gets offered and I will get the 2 bottle pack Immediately. GREAT PRODUCT!
I am not sure when I have tasted a creamer I have enjoyed more than this Coffeemate with sweetener added. I could not believe my tastebuds. When I added this creamer to the amazing Jacobs Instant Cronat Coffee (imported from Germany, also sold by Amazon) I knew I had found the world's best cup of coffee EVER. With the two combined I cannot tell the coffee is not brewed.
The creamer, although sweetener is added, is not sickening sweet. The creamer also does not have to be refrigerated because of the way it is contained and pumped. You only open the container once to insert the pump then it is sealed.
Some people complained about their pumps getting gunky, or icky or clogged. I can't begin to imagine what they did or didn't do to their pumps, but everything I could come up with was scary. My pump never clogged and never got icky. After each use, I would run my "clean" forefinger tip under the pump flow to wipe off any excess, keeping it clean. No crystalyzing, no build up and no gunky, icky stuff. Common sense, yes? It really isn't a problem and this creamer is sooo good it is well worth a quick swipe of the finger. Yum Yum!
I am really surprised this isn't sold in supermarkets near me. I would think it would sell like crazy. Try it. But don't take the last because it's almost time for me to buy more.
Our large office found these pumps to be more affordable than the individual creamer cups, and staff has been happy with the taste and consistency of the product. The only downside is that every so often (maybe one out of every 20 bottles) the pump will malfunction and refuse to dispense creamer. Since the bottle is tamper-proof, the pump head cannot be replaced or removed for cleaning, which results in nearly full bottles of creamer being thrown away.
I've been using this for many years and it doesn't go bad if it takes you longer than a month to use it. I'm the only one in my house who uses it and I drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee a day and I've never had any issues with it keeping for long enough for me to finish it which sometimes takes a few months. The pump top is difficult to remove once it's screwed on but it can be done if you use an opener with good grip and leverage (I use the Power Grip jar opener). You can get several more servings out of the bottle that way. I save the white cap to put back on for the rest that the pump can't get so it's easier to open and close and pour. This isn't refrigerated so it doesn't make your coffee cold and it's concentrated so it doesn't water it down. I won't drink coffee without this stuff!
