Mylks

ChristosC

Hello everyone

Much as I love my milk based coffee drinks, I can’t help but thinking about the carbon footprint that comes with them.

Every now and then I am using plant-based products to substitute the milk in my cappuccinos and flat whites. I have recently used the mylk by Rebel kitchen, which claim that it tastes like dairy milk, and have to say that it created a nice froth but the taste felt short of what I was expecting.

(I have also used their ‘whole’ alternative, but that one had a very sour/ unpleasant taste, so I binned it straight away..)

Are any suggestions regarding other milks that migh suit espresso better? Woudl anyone recommend the Oatly product?

I agree with @LMSC. I’ve tried a fair few milk alternatives (for carbon footprint reasons), and I oatly barista is definitely my favourite. I think it has the best flavour. Not too sweet or chalky. I wasn’t a fan of the rebel product. I found it had a slightly astringent bitterness in the background, which I thought was probably from the fava bean.

hornbyben When you get a chance, please try Lidl Oatly Barista. It is not their brand. It costs I think 89p or a pound, I was surprised. Don’t expect the Oatly quality.
