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?

~~2nd~~ 582nd Oat milk. I love a good dairy milk, but I can't deny that I now prefer the flavour of a good oat milk with coffee. Goes well with a strong rooibos, too.

You've got to compare a few brands if you don't like it -- some are absolutely feral, even the extra-fancy ones. It also gets noticably worse with age so discounted cartons near the best-before date is a bit hit and miss.

My favourite is Vitasoy's standard Oat Milk.

Steamed texture is the best on the 2nd-4th day after opening a new carton; maybe to do with a little oxidisation changing the chemistry just enough.

Surprisingly tasty just poured cold into your mug/glass as an iced coffee with either espresso but especially with a good filter brew.
