I need to replace milk in my coffee and I need ideas (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Coffee fedi, help me out!

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

Oat milk is the best alternative I've found. Most places offer it so I switched to oat milk lattes and haven't gone back.

If brewing at home, there are barista versions made specifically for coffee, but the original works too.

As a barista and a vegan, this is the answer. Out of all the plant-based milks, oat is the closest to cow's milk when it comes to how it foams up, so baristas tend to make way better and more consistent drinks with oat than almond or soy. And this is just personal preference, but IMO the taste profile of oat works the best with coffee.

Personally, oat milk works fine with caramel syrups, but doesn't taste as good with mints or chocolate as soy does.
