Milk for latte (not oat)

[JoborPlay]

DH has gone vegan. I am not but we are cutting out milk as a family. The kids and DH have oat milk.

I can't stand oatmilk. It tastes like porridge and has a slimy texture. I actually like porridge, but I don't like coffee flavoured porridge!

I enjoy a morning latte everyday it's the only milk I ever have. I can't have soya and almond doesn't froth well.

Any suggestions?

Coconut milk

I know the point of this post is not oat milk but I hate every oat milk apart from Oatly Barista (grey carton). It's the one I used for lattes as it froths up well. I no longer drink it for various reasons but if you can't find anything else maybe try that?

There are dozens of alternatives so you just need to try them all.

Even picking one, for example oat, they vary wildly in taste and texture according to supermarket own, Oatly Barista, (my fave) unsweetened etc.

I personally don't like coffee but I've heard people say the 'barista' ones froth well and I've seen coconut and almond versions.

Soya milk makes a lovely latte, especially if you use the barista one.
I like almond milk in coffee too.

I think rice may be the blandest of all.

I find that the worst!

😂 I'll bow out quietly..

I can't have soya.

I've tried almond and I like it, but it doesn't froth well (at all). I've not found a barista version.

I've tried most milk alternatives. I'm particularly interested in which froth well.

I find the only reliable froth comes from Alpro soya unsweetened...... but that's not helpful. I know what you mean about Oatly but it's only that brand of oat milk that has the porridge taste to me ... the Alpro one is OK and foams a little, same with the Califia Oat Barista.

In my dairy free days I found that other than oatly barista they were all shit for coffee (and everything else tbh). I stopped drinking it.

The Almond Breeze Barista froths well and tastes nicer than regular almond milk. I buy mine from Waitrose.

Are you in the uk? Looks like quite a few almond barista blends

I think soy froths the best but if you can't have it I'd try tr the oat batista one.

Personally I think coconut is lovely but it does taste of coconut.

Could you try rice milk?

Have you tried pea based milk or hemp? Pea is supposed to be the most neutral in taste for coffee

Coconut is my go too... I love it.

Coconut doesn't froth well, and tastes of coconut. I like my coffee to taste of coffee, not coconut.

I'll second pea milk. Good luck finding it in shop, I buy it online, but it's "thicker" than nut milks and more sustainable too, froths, has a bland flavour and is the closest I've found to real milk

Hazelnut milk tastes delicious in coffee. I also can't stand the oatly barista - I find it has a weird greasy texture. I've been using the Jord brand oat and hemp recently which is really nice, but doesn't have added calcium, b12 and iodine.

I also like hazelnut milk - started out having it in vegan hot chocolate and pitaya lattes from planet organic
