Milk alternatives to coffee
Coffee goes well with milk like bread goes well with butter. And although there are staunch supporters of black coffee, a large number of coffee enthusiasts enjoy their favorite drink accompanied by milk from teapots. Some of them also choose vegetable milk.
How does milk affect coffee?
Absolutely essential. It will change its color and taste, which are absolutely key attributes for you as a consumer. So it clearly depends on what milk you add to the coffee. The basic properties of the selected milk clearly determine whether you will prepare quality foam from it, or how it will react with coffee as such . And since today coffee is usually offered with both classic and so-called plant-based milk, no doubt the question came to mind...
Why choose vegetable milk at all?
The most common reasons are:
- allergy to or intolerance to lactose;
- diet excluding animal milk (vegan, raw diet, etc.);
- dietary restrictions caused by the use of drugs for which dairy products are contraindicated (e.g. tetracycline antibiotics).
Which milk alternatives do you encounter most often in coffee?
-
Soy milk
Probably the most used milk substitute. It is also sought after for its neutral taste and good properties when combined with coffee. Popular with baristas and consumers alike. You can prepare from Soy milk a foam very similar to which is produced from cow's milk.
-
Almond milk
Recently gaining popularity, it has a typical slightly nutty taste. It does not contain as much protein as regular milk, so the foam does not have to be as thick. In any case, it is suitable for those of you who are specifically looking for a characteristic taste almond milk. But it certainly has its numerous supporters.
-
Coconut milk
Coconut milk is creamy and relatively thick, so it creates a quality foam with an excellent taste (if you like coconut). Some might find the typical coconut flavor distracting from enjoying the coffee itself. The advantage is the natural sweetness of coconut milk. If you normally sweeten your coffee slightly, it probably won't be necessary with coconut milk.
-
Oat Milk
Oat milk has a very good nutritional profile, it contains no saturated fat, instead offering quality protein, fiber and a naturally sweet taste. In coffee, it tastes most like cow's milk, and you can make a really great foam from it.
