Like, almond milk, it is a top alternative at most cafes. They specifically created it for coffee lovers like us, but after a major sellout in the US, the product was not back on the shelves yet. Note: To be fair, Oatly’s Barista Edition product wasn’t readily available to us. They did comment on its creamy consistency being similar to whole milk, but the blandness of flavor left them wanting for more. It was just okay, but nothing our volunteers would actively seek out again. It’s almost flavorless, and sometimes brings forth too much of the nutty flavor of oats. Our barista even felt that Oatly poured less like an alternative and more like the whole or Lactaid had the day prior.įor taste, we determined that oat milk doesn’t add much. The latte art and consistency were similar to whole milk. The oat milk was a real champion on the preparation end, as it steamed, frothed, and poured very well. To be honest, I usually experiment with Oatly's original oat-based drink on my own in the kitchen and have found that it’s a fun alternative. We suggest using either a heat exchanger or a dual boiler semi-automatic espresso machine to make lattes and other milk-based drinks quickly and efficiently.Īs controls in the experiment, we've included whole milk, 2% milk, and goat milk to compare against. These double shots were pulled by one of our most knowledgeable coffee experts and frothed in a number of our dozens of milk pitchers in the kitchen. The ProcessĪ small group of people from around our office formed together to - in a process that we think will be fair - test these different milks in regards to latte making.įor this test, we used Lavazza Super Crema as our espresso, which was ground up in a Eureka Zenith and then prepared as 18-gram ristretto shots. We’re here to make a guide describing our experiences steaming, frothing, and tasting a variety of different milks over the last few days. However, the last decade has seen the rise of milk alternatives in both grocery stores and cafes around the globe, which begs the question: which milks make the best latte?
Sweet, creamy milk and intense espresso seamlessly pair to make a satisfyingly delicious drink or two, be it a latte or a cappuccino. As far as we are concerned, milk and coffee are meant to be together.
