Starbucks Toffeenut Creamer is here and mornings are nutty

Ready for another cup of coffee? Starbucks Toffeenut Creamer is coming to the refrigerator section and you will want to take another nutty sip.

Another flavor is coming to your morning coffee. The Starbucks Toffeenut Creamer brings that Toffeenut Latte from the Starbucks cafes into your kitchen. Does this buttery, rich flavor predict a change for flavored coffees?

In partnership with Nestle, the new Starbucks coffee creamer joins Caramel Macchiato, White Chocolate Mocha and Cinnamon Dolce. The three previously released flavors tend to have a slightly sweeter twist. While they still mimic favorite Starbucks café coffee beverages, they are more like a sweet treat.

The new Starbucks Toffeenut Creamer has roasted flavors. From the toasted nuts to the buttery toffee, this flavor tends to be a little richer. In a way, it might appeal to an older audience who is looking for a slightly more sophisticated sip.

Overall, coffee creamers have tended to embrace sweeter flavors. A quick scan of the refrigerated aisle shows that candy, cereal and cake are making their way into that morning cup of coffee.

Some people are looking to start their day with something sweet. Another idea could be that people are using that coffee to replace their other favorite treat. If the flavors are similar, that coffee could curb that sweet craving.

By expanding into a slightly richer, less sweet option, Starbucks seems to be heading in a different direction. Instead of hiding the coffee, this creamer could bring out the roasted flavors that many coffee drinkers like. It could be a new way of looking at the morning cup of coffee.

While many younger drinkers will not switch from their colorful Frappuccinos or seasonal lattes, this new coffee creamer option should make many coffee drinkers happy.

The Starbucks Toffeenut Creamer will hit store shelves in January 2020.
