      Maybe the brand you’ve tried? I switched from dairy milk to oat milk a couple years ago after trying most of the other plant milks. I find it to be almost a perfect match to dairy milk in cereal and coffee. I don’t use it for anything else.

        What brand of milk alternative do you recommend for coffee? I’ve tried a couple of what my grocery store stocks and one that I ordered online (strive free milk plain and barista version) but none of them seem to replicate what the fat in dairy does to take the edge off of plain coffee / espresso.

        Usually I use a mix between heavy cream and half & half with espresso and if I accidentally get fat free half & half (especially if I don’t use heavy cream with it) then I can’t stand the bitterness / acidity of the espresso or coffee (if I’m making regular coffee instead).

          I prefer Oatley’s Barista edition. Has a creamy and a bit nutty flavour that goes great in coffee and (strong black) tea.

      You shouldn’t be getting downvotes for this. But I have found almond milk tastes cardboardish, not oatmilk. Oatmilk it very creamy and goes excellent with coffee and cereal. I’ve found it’s ok in tea (I’m not a big tea drinker).
