I must keeping getting crap oatmilk. I always feel like it's watery, and I shake it before pouring.

I also drink whole milk, and think anything under 2% might as well be water. Unless it's a chocolate milk full of thickeners instead of just milk and chocolate.

I also get plain, because I don't want added sugar.

Suggestions?

Oatly barista in the grey cartons is hands down the best IMO after trying loads of other brands. I get it at publix in the US or Tesco in the UK

But Oatly has shitty additives

Oaty brand oat milk.

They have some kind of special ingredient that keeps everything properly emulsified.

Warning it's not cheap. I maybe buy a carton a week.

Forager Project has a nice oatmilk. I like it better than Oatly.

You have to go for the stuff with added fat - barista style - to get anything approaching decent.

A lot of brands make extra creamy versions that work better in coffee imo. Some sell a barista version which is also extra creamy and designed to steam well for lattes. Theyre more calorie dense though, so you kinda lose one of the main benefits. My favorite milk for lattes is ultra-filtered whole milk.

Mighty is the best brand I've tried by a margin, they do a barista one but for an all round milk replacement the whole m.lk is great. They use a blend of oat and pea though I think

Starbucks gets watery oat milk I dunno

I do.

But I have vegan and lactose intolerant family and friends. So I try to keep shelf stable options on hand for when they visit.

After they leave, I use what's left so it's not wasted, and would prefer an option that I like too.

Makes sense.

Maybe try cachew milk? It's pretty tasty.
