McDonald's Sugar Free Iced Vanilla Coffee

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #12

Don’t know, but it certainly sounds feasible. And do you really care what some barista thinks? And besides, I’ll bet that if you tip well, it won’t be a problem.

#13

Unless they’ve changed it McDonalds uses light cream.

#14

I’ve done it, even thought it’s strong as hell with not a lot of coffee the heavy cream (to me) drown out the coffee flavor. A double would probably solve that but I never re-attempted it.

Huge fan of my own iced coffee but wonder if Starbucks has different prices (drastically) in different parts of the country. I only pay probably $0.30 more for a Starbucks iced coffee than I would Dunkin Donuts or McDonalds.

I just do coffee, hwc, and unflavored almond milk and it’s good for me! I’ll even let it chill or have it hot!

Probably. I’m pretty sure cream doesn’t foam which is why it’s always milk. If you ask for an Americano you’ll get an espresso with hot water added so that it’s basically a coffee made from espresso beans, That is served black and you add cream in just the same way you would a regular coffee (but it’s waaaay better).

I don’t know about asking for an Americano (:sweat_smile:), but that is my usual coffee. I used to love a cappuccino and hence the question on whether it makes any sense to ask for a cap made with cream.

I might try it and see what I get.

Can’t do a cappuccino or a flat white with HWC. The fat content doesn’t allow for the foam to build. The HWC doesn’t get foamy no matter how much you steam it. A barista would know, bcz that’s literally all they do all day.

(Alec) #20

Maybe I do some negotiations… make a double strength cap with a small amount of milk to get the froth, then fill the cup with cream… I wonder…

(Anjum) #21

You can ask for a bone dry cappuccino. That should result in foam and espresso only. You could easily add HWC to that. Or you could have an espresso breve macchiato. Same as a dry cappuccino but less quantity of dairy. Breve is steamed half n half.

That sounds like a plan! Thanks!

Isn’t foam what you get when you whip cream? (Confused ketonian is confused.)

I think you get whipped cream rather than foam. But maybe that’s not that much different from foam. I am no expert.

(Anjum) #27

Perhaps whipped cream can be considered a foam. But whipped cream has a cold process, the fat is congealed. Foam for espresso beverages is heat processed, the fat melts and prevents the HWC from foaming.

Ah. Thanks, that makes sense.

I order double/triple tall lattes made with HWC from Starbucks at least twice a week. It’s definitely doable. It definitely foams. It’s definitely delicious. A tall is about 6-8+ oz of heavy cream so there are some carbs.

My at work recipe is 3-4 oz. of HWC, water to make 8oz., a couple big teaspoons of espresso powder, vanilla creme stevia drops to taste, I mix it with my little IKEA milk frother and add ice.

Another fav for a caramel macchiato taste is to mix an 11oz carton of chilled Caramel flavored Premier Protein shake, a couple oz. HWC and Coffee or espresso + ice.

Heavy whipping cream has .5g carbs per serving.
Half and half has one.
Personally I can’t see paying twice as much for so little difference
