That’s not a latte; that’s a glass of milk.
> Oatly compares their sugar to the sugar in cow’s milk, but they’re not the same sugar.
This was insightful, though, as it’s a rationalization I’ve made when choosing oat milk but it’s now clear that it was a misguided one.
- ricardobeat 6y agoA latte is a glass of milk with a shot (30ml) of espresso. Starbucks' sizes start at 12 ounces, and go up to 31oz.
- aidenn0 6y agoStarbucks used to have a short, don't know if they still do.
- chrstphrknwtn 6y agoStarbucks isn’t the standard for coffee. They’re almost more of a dairy and dessert company than a coffee company.
- ricardobeat 6y agoI'd think it is pretty standard for the type of person choosing to drink oat milk.
- just-ok 5y agoOat milk is great for vegans or lactose-intolerant people and froths way better than the other non-dairy milks, so I'm not sure where the oat milk => Starbucks jab comes from. Either way, my local coffee shops started carrying oat milk much earlier than Starbucks.
