Following two persons advice, I’ve got some oat milk to put in my coffee. They both said they prefer it to milk.

I thought it was too watery. I wonder if the grain juice I got wasn’t very good. It’s “Planet Oat” oat milk original unsweetened. It barely adds any color, texture or taste to the coffee.

So, coffee drinkers: do you like your bean tea with oat juice? If so, is it supposed to be that watered down? If not, what brand of grain juice do you prefer?

    Oat milk is fine, or even just drinking it black unsweetened.

    Though in the last few years I’ve gotten into the habit of having my cold brew concentrate with Ripple Unsweetened. And before that was using Silk Protein unsweetened… it was sort of Silk’s version of pea protein drink, I think it got discontinued haven’t seen it anywhere. Ripple goes well with my coffee… Silk’s version was especially good with coffee, I’d still be buying that if it was being sold anywhere. Silk’s was a bit creamier and thicker than Ripple so it sort of gave the coffee some extra flair if that makes sense.

    For these type of drinks I mainly try to find unsweetened with a similar nutritional profile like dairy milk e.g. it should have a decent amount of protein, calcium, vitamin D, etc. Most oat milk I’ve seen doesn’t have that so I usually don’t buy it, it’s more something I’d use if I’m at a coffee shop or someone’s house.
