    Another option is using a very cheap hand held beater, a 300ml container of cream and creating your own. I use that method as I prefer the extra body in the cream whipped that way.

      that's an idea. I usually whip up a lot of cream over Xmas so I will now be diverting some to my coffee...

        What type of sugar is favoured in the cup for those who add it?
        Organic, unrefined.

          The festive season was when I first changed whipped cream delivery too.

          Enjoy!

            If you want real whipped cream made fresh and the way you like it (Sugar? Vanilla?) grab an N2O whipped cream dispenser. Depending on how cold your fridge is the cream will stay good for over 2 weeks in the dispenser giving you the option for fresh whipped cream on demand with no muss and no fuss. I would not be surprised to find that one or more of our sponsors carries them.

                I'm just happy it's finally getting easy to find "non" thickened or whipped cream again :-)

                    I used to make up 6 of these every morning for our customers. We added Torani and Monin syrups to a few (Irish Cream; Vanilla; Creme de Cacao; Orgeat; Hazelnut and so forth)

                    Fantastic on hot chocolate! Great on mochas with a quick zest of orange peel! Shoot some in a tiny take away cup for the little kids

                      What I was referring to in my OP was double cream, not whipped cream, no sugar and certainly no vanilla there's a vast difference, and definitely not pouring cream.

                      The following description is from the Australian Woman's Weekly,

                      "Double cream is very rich, with a fat content of 48 percent, making it the most versatile cream because it withstands boiling and whips and freezes well. (Cow's milk contains butterfat which is removed from milk using a centrifuge system. The longer the milk is centrifuged, the thicker the cream becomes).

                      Single cream, also known as pouring cream, has a minimum fat content of 18 percent. It is homogenised and pasteurised and commonly used in sauces, desserts and soups."

                      Health benefits? probably none, don't make it a regular thing, reckon I can feel the cholesterol coursing through my veins after downing one of these.

                        Do you use double cream on scones? It sounds really tasty (in moderation).

                          G'Day Sprezzatura, Scones are something we seldom do, however having said that should probably make the effort now and again.

                          Fresh scones with blackberry jam and double cream! what a combination, fantastico.

                          PS: What's this word moderation.

                            Over at the scone snobs forum we use strictly clotted cream on scones

                              Love blackberry jam: we used to pick blackberries in Southern Oregon and my mom would bake blackberry cobbler and I'd make homme made ice cream!

                                Lol! I figure full cream milk piccolo (70ml) and espresso (30ml) equals a big skim flat white, right?
