I hated almond milk and recently got into oat milk. I've tried several and they're very different.

I thought quaker would have the best but it was the worst. Planet oat was the best. Silk was ok. Haven't tried oatly yet.

I still drink regular milk usually and love soy milk.

Oatly barrister edition is tangibly better than oatly normal

Would that be iKaffe vs havremjölk? Because my god iKaffe is so perfect for coffe that I don’t even consider them to belong to the same product category!

Try the new Havredryck Deluxe for coffee instead of iKaffe! Despite the name it's even better, IMO

OMG, I hadn't even noticed Deluxe since the packaging is so similar to the regular ones, will definitely give it a try!

Possibly. I know oatly is sold under a different name too

It has more fat/oil in to help with frothing, I think that's the only difference. Also barista != barrister, those are two quite different jobs!

Barista?

[NB Although I love the idea of a barrister edition - presumably five times the price and comes with a wig?]

haha I butchered that sorry. Yeah - pricing...I've seen it as near same and at double the normal price

What I've found is that milk-alternatives (and actually, even regular milk often times) are extremely varied. One brand of almond milk can taste completely different to another.

The best personal example of this is I hate virtually all versions of soy milk, except for Bonsoy (plentiful in Australian cafes/supermarkets, unfortunately difficult to find in the US).

That's why I don't really believe someone when they say "I hate soy|almond|whatever milk".

Having lived with some vegans, I have tried at least 3 dozen 'milks' and I must say, most are revolting. Some are decent, but seem to be priced accordingly. Personally, anything less than 3% fat, pasture sustained cow juice is an affront to man and nature alike. But everyones tastes vary. Accept that others are different, and thats ok. We arent just being bastards to spite you.
