Please tell me about dairy alternatives for coffee

I want to reduce my dairy intake, cutting down is going fine for cheese, cream and yogurt, but I’m struggling with milk in my coffee.

We have a pod machine, and I like my coffee around 1/3 milk, no sugar, but sometimes a squirt of vanilla or hazelnut syrup.

I’ve tried oat and almond (no syrup) but haven’t really enjoyed either. I’m not sure if I’m getting the ratios wrong, or if I’m using the wrong type of ‘milk’, or if I just need to give my tastebuds longer to adjust.

I still want an afternoon coffee, so can anyone tell me which dairy alternative might be best, please?

Thanks.

Oatly Barista is the only decent oat milk for coffee.

Thanks again to everyone’s replies; on the way to family lunch, but will have a good read of them all later.

Ok, if fat intake is what you’re worried about I really wouldn’t worry about switching. Even whole milk is only 5% fat. Have you used a good food tracker to track your daily fat/etc intake and see where it’s coming from?

Also, why reduce fat? You may have a specific reason, in which case fair enough, but if it’s just general health/weight loss then I’d seriously look elsewhere - sugar first!
