Coffee fedi, help me out!

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

I've been drinking lactose free milk most of my life, but I've avoided it in my coffee, because it's too sweet. But now, even the small amount of lactose I have in my coffee is starting to hit me, and I don't want to switch to lactose free milk for coffee. It completely spoils the flavour with its sweetness

So seeing all these responses, Oat is starting to look good. The reduced impact is a pretty good reason, given that all of the alternatives will likely taste weird to me to start with :)

I'm not lactose intolerant, just trying to go more plant-based, and oat was pretty easy to get used to, even if I didn't really like it the first couple of times I had it. Warm uses of oat milk also tasted better to me at first than cold, so it started with me drinking oat milk lattes, now I'll put it in cold brew, or iced chai lattes.
