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?

Oatly Barista is the best I've had fs. You can't buy the cheapest available product with the largest percentage of substitute ingredient and expect it to accurately represent the entire range of possibilities.

Oatly barista steam as well or maybe better than cow's milk imo

Agreed, but I have started buying the Kirkland stuff from Costco because, while it used to suck pretty bad, I think they made some changes to their recipe because it's now quite good.

Also OP - in case nobody already said it, you gotta shake the hell out of your carton of oat milk each morning. The yummy heavy thickening stuff tends to settle to the bottom.
