About Coffee mate
Coffee mate is a non-dairy coffee creamer introduced in 1961, designed to keep without refrigeration at a time when offices and diners had limited cold storage. Nestlé acquired it with Carnation in 1985, and it is the largest creamer brand in the United States, extended into flavoured and liquid formats.
