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 prefer it, but only specific ones with a barista label or ones meant to replace milk. Cheap oat milk doesn't cut it and separates too often for my liking.

Someone mentioned the Oatly Barista one. If you're in a country with Alpro, I really like their "Not Mlk".

I've heard you can get away with standard if you let the oat milk reach at least room temperature before mixing, and also only mic a little bit of each together first, like you would a roux. But obviously not as convenient as just using the barista ones
