I bought this product as I need to cut down on dairy. I struggled with creating latte art with other regular oat milk brands.
This barista oat milk has allowed me to create latte art again to the standards of dairy milk. It tastes very good too!
I tried them all – almond, soy, rice, coconut, sheep, goat. This is by far the closest to cow milk in taste and consistency.
This is great barista style milk.
This is the only style of milk I will ever use for a cup of biscuit tea.
Works amazingly and, if you have never tried it, you have to
I use oat milk for my cereal on a morning. When I tried this one I was really surprised by the colour I looked in the bowl and the milk looks light brown. When using it to make porridge it doesn’t look appetising at all. The flavour is ok though.
I do like this product and purchased as was a very good price.
Unfortunately, even though long life, it’s a very short shelf life.
Had to give some away or just get rid so I wouldn’t buy bulk again.
I prefer the 500 mls as I do not drink a lot of milk and liked this pack which will last longer for me. What I really liked was the good long life expiration date.. this is second time using this seller and hasn’t disappointed.. I have bought this before from other seller which came with a shorter life span which was not great so definitely recommend this selle
This is the best oat milk for coffee at home. It is creamy and foams up nicely in our home coffee machine.
I find it more reasonable to buy in a 6 pack.
Oatly, can you also make a strawberry milkshake, your chocolate one is delicious, but strawberry would be more delicious. Thanks.
I use oat milk as I dairy is not good for me, it makes me break out in such bad spots all over my body. I love popping over to see a friend and having a cupper and a natter and I forgot my milk so I was disappointed, her daughter said why don’t you keep some milk over here and I popped onto Amazon and found these half-sized cartons. I know they work out expensive but they are convenient to leave over people’s houses and not take up much space, I can keep them in my small car and again not take up much space in my tiny car. I grabbed one on my way out of the house yesterday and popped it into my rucksack.
The milk tastes amazing!!!!!
This last time I was sent the Barista version which is not to my taste with the addition of rapeseed oil making it very greasy.
I imagine the vendour mixed up the packaging as it is so similar to the Organic pack. Too late to send it back now, so if like me you wish to keep Oatly a stock do check what Amazon has actualy sent you before it’s too late to exchange it . Anyone make use of 6 Barista Oatlys ?
Incidentally the Organic variety make great creamy Museli, Porridge and is great for making bread instead of water as it still contains gluten, unlike many new brands popping up, now those are watery !
Oatly is wonderful! My favourite! Barista is best for everything. I love it neat, in coffee and cocoa, on cereal, and in cooking, eg white or cheese sauces. I don’t like any other type of plant milk, eg soya, almond, hazelnut or coconut, but oat is fantastic and Oatly is THE best! I buy in bulk on subscribe and save, so it’s much cheaper than elsewhere, and I never run out! I keep a few in the fridge and the rest in a cupboard. To economise, I sometimes water it down half and half with water, as it’s lovely and creamy and fairly high in calories. I am on a diet so this helps save calories as well as cash!
The Barista Edition milk foams really extremely well compared the regular edition of Oatly milk, so if you’re wanting some foam for a Latte or creamy hot chocolate, I’d recommend trying out the Oatly Barista Edition if you’ve not been able to achieve what you’re looking for with other oat milks. We find using the Velvetiser to heat our milk for Latte’s to do a great job, so if you have one of those laying around and want to give your next coffee a boost, give it a go. If you fill the milk to the max line, you’ll get less foam than if you put a bit less milk in the chamber, so experiment a few times to find the amount of foam vs milk you prefer.
We’ve found purchasing this on Amazon to be one of the most affordable ways of having a constant supply, occasionally you can find the product slightly cheaper in supermarkets when they have offers on, but at their usual price, buying the 6 pack from Amazon works out about the same and much more convenient given it stores extremely well both out and in the fridge!
Overall, I’d say this is definitely one of the best oat milk products you can buy if you’re looking to use it for creating various hot foamy or creamy drinks at home and worth giving a try straight away if you’ve not before!
I’ve tried loads of the other alternatives, including soy milk, almond milk, pea milk, and with the exception of pea milk I couldn’t drink any of them straight from the carton. They all made me heave. I had tried supermarkets own oat milk and found the oat flavour overpowering for cereal and coffee.
I finally decided to try Oatly barista milk as I’d heard great things about it online. I’m glad I did as it tasted really nice neat. I added it to my coffee and although it doesn’t change the colour as much as milk I was pleasantly surprised at the taste. Yes, it did affect the taste of my coffee but not enough for it to bother me – it was certainly a taste I could accept. I also tried it on cereal, which was great. And also as a milkshake using Crusha – it mixed really well and was lovely and creamy.
Thanks to Amazon subscribe and save 6 packs (cheaper than buying from Tesco) I can confidently say I can now stop using cows milk.
Most of my milk and dairy consumption however comes from coffee, I drink probably 4 or 5 cups a day from my barista express which I usually make latte’s, flat whites and cappucino’s with. When I’m in the office I just drink a normal coffee or “americano” with a splash of milk. I’d noticed since lockdown my scalp has been the worst it’s been for a long long time so put 2 and 2 together and next thing you know I’m looking for non-dairy barista milk and this is when I came across Oatly.
Now as someone who is unwillingly giving up milk for a health condition these are my thoughts, in no particular order:
-It foams OK, but isn’t like for like with dairy milk. If your coffee has been sat for a few minutes it sounds like a bowl of cocopops as the foam is breaking down and splitting with the crema of the coffee, however it IS better for latte art than semi skimmed but full fat milk still wins hands down here. The bubbles in the microfoam tend to be not so much on the microside and more just on the foam side.
-The packaging reeks of militant veganism and is adorned with a black and white pop art style andy-warholesque slogans such as “post milk-generation”, “know your rights” “we don’t do animals” “wow no cow”. Now I don’t give three flying profanities about veganism, I agree with the premise of animal welfare but don’t agree with plant only based diets and the hypocrisy that’s rife within the vegan army. I’m buying your product because I want a milk alternative, not because I’m an easily influenced and blinkered Corbynista university dropout trying to find some form of cause in their life to fight for after travelling around thailand stroking elephants and still not “finding myself”. I just find this part a bit ridiculous, I mean imagine buying a steak from the supermarket and the packaging being branded with “PLANT FREE” “WE LOVE MEAT” “POST-PLANT GENERATION” it sounds completely stupid and its unnecessary. Makes it feel a bit cringey to support this company, really made my toes curl when I read the box.
-The taste is slightly better than just OK, it’s not amazing, it’s doable. I find it it has a very artificial sweet creamyness which completely over powers even my most bitter coffee beans, it tastes slightly of oats but not overly oaty if that makes sense, its more the artifical taste I’m not a fan of. Also leaves a funky aftertaste in your mouth. I’ve found I’ve started to drink more Espressos than I used to, probably now 2 Lattes/Flat whites/cappucinos and 3 espressos a day.
-It HAS successfully stopped me drinking milk in my coffee. And my scalp and back have almost completely cleared up 3 weeks later so that is a positive. It’s good enough to be a substitute for milk for me so for that, 5 stars.
Over all, if you follow the whole “no sentient beings” rubbish then it’s a better milk subsitute than no milk at all whereas if you’re just lactose intolerant or sensitive to dairy like me and are giving up milk unwillingly, you’ll manage but you’ll still whole heartedly miss normal Milk.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is it has successfully stopped me drinking milk which in turn has cleared my adult acne up, and it would have been 5 stars if not for the ridiculous toe curling, cringey propaganda packaging.
I’m setting out on an adventure to try other types of Oat Milk and find the best one for coffee that isn’t overpowering and can still foam well.
