Following two persons advice, I've got some oat milk to put in my coffee. They both said they prefer it to milk.

I thought it was too watery. I wonder if the grain juice I got wasn't very good. It's "Planet Oat" oat milk original unsweetened. It barely adds any color, texture or taste to the coffee.

So, coffee drinkers: do you like your bean tea with oat juice? If so, is it supposed to be that watered down? If not, what brand of grain juice do you prefer?

I dont really do dairy, love coffee.

once in a while, I take about a cup n a half of almond milk, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, and two tablespoons of sugar and heat it in a pot until properly combined. Then, I use it in my ice coffee.

I make a pot of coffee, I cool it to room temp on the counter, and add it to a juice jug thing I have. Put it in the fridge, cold coffee is all I drink.

Most of the time, I just have it black. Once in a while Ill adds some sugar syrup ive made leftover from some dessert recipie, and once in a while I make cocoa almond milk for coffee, but usualluly just black with ice. I make it too strong, but I like it this way.

Ive not had a jug of cows milk in ten years or more. The "barista blends" and oat milks are far too heavy for me, and almond milk seems fine, for the rarity I use it with coffee, and only when I do the chocolate thing ;)

    Have you tried cold brew? I really like Mississippi Cold Drip, it's strong and tasty. If I hadn't abandoned caffeine that's what I'd always be drinking, would even leave my automatic grinding espresso machine.

    Mississippi Cold Drip def sounds like something I'd try!

    I hope to get a decent espresso machine one day. I wouldnt know how to make coldbrew without making a mess? I imagine theres some kind of tool or whatnot to do so? Ive made small batches using my french press to filter it, but cooling strong brew from a standard pot is just so easy!

    From what I heard, there are some filters for it, but you just let the coffee sit inside a filter medium over some time in a water jar in the fridge. That's it. It doesn't dissolve the heavy molecules as well as hot brewing. Which is nice, as those are usually bitter - so your coffee has a slightly different flavor. I highly recommend it.
