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 alternate between periods of black coffee and coffee with oatmilk. I go with Pure Harvest unsweetened. I never see cafes using it but maybe it's no good for steaming.

It's mostly cafes I'm worried about. At home, I've got a lactose free milk from my local grocer that isn't too sweet. But the cafes all seem to use really sweet lactose free coffee.

It's sounding like oat milk is the way to go. Lots of people like it, and it's less of an issue for the environment. The biggest issue will be me making myself stick with it until it tastes normal to me :)
