Yeah what is up with that? 12 oz is over 340 ml, who puts that much milk in their coffee? I had to measure the volume of my coffee cup, it's 250 ml or 8.8 oz.
I usually drink my coffee black, but if I do have milk in it it is usually a tenth of what the author uses. Unless the author is drinking a quarter gallon of coffee at a time he's not drinking coffee, but really drinking milk with a splash of coffee.
- d0ugal 6y agoI would guess they are using this comparison as oatly has become popular in coffee shops for lates etc. So the size is more common there, but probably not common at home.
- goatinaboat 6y agoreally drinking milk with a splash of coffee Lots of people do this. It's called a latte. Or for hipsters, a "flat white". Or any mocha-frappa-chino equivalent has a lot of milk and cream in it.
- grumple 6y ago12 oz of milk though? My research says a latte contains about 6oz. Fraps probably contain less (mostly ice).
- goatinaboat 6y agoThey come in a bucket if you go to Starbucks
- neeleshs 6y agoThere is also a "short" version, but you have to explicitly ask for it. It's not on the standard size menu
- defen 6y agoA Starbucks Venti is 20oz (hence the name)
- porknubbins 6y agoWhen you steam milk for latte the volume almost doubles so that probably 9 -10 oz milk, still not insignificant but not 20oz.

- hansthehorse 6y agoVenti hot is 20oz - Venti cold is 24oz
- on_and_off 6y agoflat white and latte are 2 different drinks.
- 317070 6y agoAs a non-coffee drinker, I drink my oatly pure, in the same way as I drank my milk growing up. So yeah, 340 ml is apt when I use my big mug. You make it sound as if no-one drinks pure milk in your environment? I find THAT weird.
- mgbmtl 6y agoNot judging, but around me, it's usually rare to drink milk after the age of 8 (my kid stopped liking milk around that time, and most of their friends too). We do eat a lot of yogourt and cheese. The province use to over-produce milk and there was so much advertising to consume it. Everyone kind of got fed up I guess.
- pier25 6y agoI'm not grandparent but no one drinks pure milk in my environment. I've only seen that in American movies (I'm from Europe). I have a friend who used to drink milk as a teenager and had to stop because it caused some complication. This was 20 years ago, I don't remember the details.
- MPSimmons 6y agoIt's pretty common to drink pure milk in America, if you're lactose tolerant, which the majority of the people here are. Not everyone does, of course, but it's not unusual here by any means.
- eyko 6y agoI've never seen an adult drink pure milk, other than in some movies. I guess it's an american thing? Any Europeans here who drink pints of milk care to comment?
- preben 6y agoSweden here. Pints might be an exaggeration, but definitely a staple in my fridge.

- Legogris 6y agoIn Sweden it's historically fairly normal to drink that much milk at least once day, in coffee or otherwise.
- MPSimmons 6y agoI get oat milk lattes reasonably frequently.
- azinman2 6y agoI drink about 8oz of oatly barista edition daily in my cappuccino.
