Tips and tricks for half and half
My half and half for coffee keeps turning to butter onboard. Any tricks to stop this? Lasts only about one week then goes bad and turns.

We use milk for both our tea and coffee and it freezes great!

Greetings,
Mr. B. Yup. What Mr. (saint) tt said. Refrigeration not cold enough. Half and half should remain stable a lot longer than milk. You might want to try UHT half and half.
EXAMPLE only: https://www.organicvalley.coop/blog/...teurized-milk/
UHT does impart a different taste to the product.

Or get those vacuum packed single serves like you see in hotels and coffee shops. No need to even refrigerate. Just plain old milk from non-fat to whole for that first cup for me.

We get about 6 weeks out of our super sized UHT non organic half and half.
Nice to always have there when we arrive late. Coffee next morning without half and half is not worth waking up for.
I see you are in Seattle. Darigold in paper carton is UHT. Long shelf life.

I don't use milk/cream in my coffee, but I always have cans of evaporated milk onboard for making clam chowder. Until I found out that now you can get powdered whole milk. It seems really rich, flavor is good, and a tablespoon or two in a cup of coffee might get you what you want. Zip lock bag keeps fine.

I use this and unless my guests see me adding it to their coffee, they don't even know the difference!

I use/ love Darigold. Usually take a bit from the half gallon in my house. Night and day difference between the the stuff at home and on the boat. Guess I can go colder and try.

Barabus, good to hear that you are a Darigold fan. I am one of those responsible for what is inside that carton. Thanks for being a customer!
Arc, I love black coffee, but like many of us who may have run a little too hard for a few decades, I am subject to reflux if I do not watch my diet and lifestyle carefully. The cream in the coffee allows me to drink alot of coffee and still protect myself from reflux.

Thanks for the tips, but I drink it black. To make up for that, have a milkshake every several years.

Years ago I was sitting in a coffee shop on my walk to the hardware store. I had to get a varnish that was compatible with "stearate" according to the mahogany stain that I had just applied on my boat. I didn't know know (and still don't) what stearate is, but I noticed that the "non-dairy coffee whitener" sitting on the table contained stearate. No plastic milk for me, thank you.
I wonder what they use to get the fake hazelnut flavor? Probably a chemical that I can't even pronounce known by its cute trade name. Fakelnut flavoring?

I have been using powdered heavy cream in my coffee. It is a little difficult to mix. I use a small battery powered wisk or if f you use instant coffee and mix the milk powder with the dry coffee before adding water it mixes easily.
