I agree with the article. Oat milk is my favourite for a few reasons. To start with, it doesn’t have a weird after taste. It’s not quite milk flavour but it’s very good in its own right. Really great in coffee and warm drinks in general. I assume it would be great with cereal too on account of it being.. oats, though I haven’t tried. I bought some Oat Nog recently which was surprisingly good. Overall the taste and creaminess feel very authentically milky, would recommend. I understand it’s also one of the most environmentally friendly alternatives across all categories, so that’s a big bonus too. And I bet it’s pretty easy to make yourself if you’re keen.

> Really great in coffee and warm drinks in general. That’s not my experience. It curdles with strong espresso and the barista versions are fatty and/or mixed with soya milk.

  Interesting. I haven’t noticed a problem with curdling myself. Admittedly I’m buying my coffee from a coffee shop so I’m not sure if I’m getting 100% oat milk. But soy messes with my throat so I think I’d have noticed that.

    There's a barista version for some brands and it comes with a small amount of rapeseed oil added in which helps with the blending process. Normal oat milk curdles otherwise.

    I am 100% sure coffee shops use barista version which are fatty and mixed with soya milk.

      I'm literally looking at an Oatly Barista Edition pack right now and it clearly says it's free from milk or soya. The ingredients don't contain any soya reference as well, it's likely the rapeseed oil that makes it fatty. What makes you so sure??

        Ok I made a mistake not all brands mix it with soya milk. Some generic supermarket brands do it in Germany

Spraying roundup on food is environmentally unfriendly … make sure the oats in your milk are glyphosate free unless you don’t mind your family consuming weed killer. https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/100-percent-oat-products-tested-positive-glyphosate https://www.organicconsumers.org/news/100-percent-oat-produc... https://gundrymd.com/oat-products-glyphosate/ https://gundrymd.com/oat-products-glyphosate/

  Ugh, one more thing to worry about! I quickly checked the brand we use (Oatly) and it’s certified by this organization which also lists other products, a lot of major brands are there: https://detoxproject.org/certification/glyphosate-residue-free/certified-products/ https://detoxproject.org/certification/glyphosate-residue-fr... Their process seems pretty thorough, the companies have to go through periodic random testing.
