There are some frontiers where vegan replacements aren't particularly tasty to me (vegan cheese for example, at least in its cold form). But as for almond milk and soy milk and coconut milk, their taste, to me, is clearly superior to cow's milk.

Vegan cheese may never have the variety and taste, but that’s something I decided I can accept. That said, there have been improvements and more awesome brands appearing every year! Check out miyoko’s cheeses and butter! https://miyokoskitchen.com https://miyokoskitchen.com

  I’ll second Miyoko. My wife’s vegan and I mostly can’t stand vegan cheese but that one is pretty good as a spread on crackers.

  Awesome :) I think I've tried "Go Veggie!" and "Daiya" brands from the super market. If you melt the Go Veggie brand into vegetable chili and then put that on top of some baked pita chips, you are in for an enjoyable meal ^.^

    Just FYI, Go Veggie isn't vegan or dairy free (at least last time I checked), it's lactose free. Also, Daiya isn't the state of the art by a long shot. If you're adventurous and have a large grocery budget, Chao (served cold) is the most cheese-like cheeze that I've had so far.

I use soy milk for cereal, but no non-dairy milk works for me in tea, yet.

  There's something about the acidity of coffee and tea that makes most veggie milks curdle; the result tastes something like cardboard. There were some soy-based (So Good or So Nice branded) coffee creamers that my first-year residence cafeteria offered years ago which stood up nicely in coffee, but I haven't seen them for sale since.

    I’ve never had problems with almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, or soy milk not being able to stand up to coffee, which usually has a lot more acidity than tea. For me, it’s been more about the taste of the non-bovine milk itself. And almond milk is by far the best thing I’ve found so far. I also like when it is mixed with other non-bovine milks, like cashew and coconut. If you use cold-brewed coffee, that has a lot less acidity than hot-brewed coffee. So, it works even better with non-bovine milks.

I try to mix it up a bit with my vegan milks. Right now I am using Oatly milk. I love the coconut-almond blends, and try to stay away from soy milk, since I eat a lot of soy in different products already.
