The solid fats in coffeemate do not readily emulsify in cold liquids. The warmer or hotter the coffee, the faster they emulsify and "dissolve". You may have to warm your cold coffee (or microwave it) before adding the coffeemate.

It's not all that mind boggling. Coffee-Mate is made of powdered milk and animal fat. The fat in Coffee-Mate (the secret ingredient that makes it taste so good) will not dissolve in cold liquid. It requires heat to dissolve the fats.
There ya go.

It was meant to dissolve in hot water. If you put it in cold water, it might dissolve eventually, But it will clump and taste horrible. If you want to have cold coffee, dissolve the instant coffee in a little hot water and then add cold water.

Coffee Mate is a synthetic product, and with synthetic products, they do require some heat to dissolve completly.

The mate requires heat for it to dissolve.

its obvious, its called coffeemate- its made for coffee... the hot stuff. it consists mostly of chemicals and non food ingredients, why not just use good old fashioned milk? at least it will "dissolve" in cold coffee

B/c it's mostly fat, and heat melts fat. W/o heat, the fat just floats.
Yum. Yum. Now drink up!

It will if you stir it long enough.
