What is the nicest non-dairy milk to have in coffee?

Any thoughts? I had something once which seemed to give the coffee a slightly chocolatey taste, which was gorgeous. Can't remember what it was though.

Oatly

Agree with Brillo - Oatly. I prefer oatly barista.

My husband insists Oatly barista is better than milk in everything.

Mustbetimeforachange · 29/08/2019 11:38

Oatly, although I find barista a bit creamy for tea.

wheresmyhairytoe · 29/08/2019 11:44

Definitely Oatly. It's lovely and creamy.

FatChloe · 29/08/2019 11:45

Another vote for Oatly!

Bumbags · 29/08/2019 11:45

Dh would also vote for oatly

Branleuse · 29/08/2019 11:48

i find oatly disappointing. The Barista one is really thick and creamy which a lot of people like, but its a bit much for me.
Normal oatly seperates in coffee.

Oat milk is definitely the best, but I really love the alpro one, or the provitamil one

Isabeau1980 · 29/08/2019 12:03

I like Alpro Cashew milk in my coffee.

ourmamageddon · 29/08/2019 12:27

Oatly semi

hazeyjane · 29/08/2019 12:29

At home - Alpro soy (the sweet one) hot and frothed.

Drinking coffee out I prefer coconut milk or oat.

kaytee87 · 29/08/2019 12:32

I've heard good things about oatly.
I've had almond milk in the past which is quite sweet and might work well in coffee.

Jamhandprints · 29/08/2019 12:32

Coconut is quite nice but it does taste of coconut. Oatley is always recommended bit I haven't tried it. I don't really like soya in hot drinks as it goes a bit starchy or something. Almond is ok.

Frazzlerock · 29/08/2019 12:33

Any of the fridge versions of Oatly, or the long life 'barista' version.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 29/08/2019 12:37

I use almond milk for everything. It doesnt curdle like soya does and it doesn't taste overpowering in coffee and tea. you do get a slight nutty taste but nothing too 'much'. i don't mind soya milk but tis awkward because of the way it reacts to hot water so prefer to use the almond milk as that doesnt curdle at all in hot water. I buy mine in aldi, 89p a litre

Mustbetimeforachange · 29/08/2019 12:47

We used to use almond milk but it's very environmentally unfriendly (uses loads of water). We switched to oat & I love it (particularly on cereal).

MiniMum97 · 29/08/2019 12:48

Another vote for oat milk.

lubeybooby · 29/08/2019 12:48

oatly barista

UpsyDaisysarmpit · 29/08/2019 12:49

Provitamil oat milk is good

AiryFairyMum · 29/08/2019 13:29

Oatly barista. Better than cow milk.

HourglassTigger · 29/08/2019 16:26

Much as I'd love to volunteer an alternative suggestion I converted to Oatly Barista after just one capuccino. Have since stopped buying milk altogether. No intolerances. Just because. And its soooooo frothy.

spiderlight · 29/08/2019 16:43

Yup, Oatly Barista all the way! Also great on cereal.

sniffysnifferson · 29/08/2019 18:07

Another one for oatly barista for hot drinks.

whiteroseredrose · 29/08/2019 18:14

Oatly barista for coffee / hot chocolate. Alpro Soya light (fresh) for tea x
