Same here and I usually buy the cheaper brand which is not as good. The home made isn't exactly Bailey's but I think it's better than the cheaper store bought. I hope you like it!
Carolan's I think? I agree. The flavor isn't as good and there seems to be a little sediment from the coffee or something. If the homemade isn't exactly Baileys that's OK, it's a heck of a lot cheaper! I have the whisky and vodka so the only expensive thing I'd need is the half and half and you can get that dirt cheap at Trader Joe's even if it is a hippy hangout (don't tell them I'm conservative!)
