Oatmilk is the only thing I'll use for lattes or whatever, I prefer much more than regular milk. I use the full-fat Oatly or any of the barista oatmilks though, the regular ones definitely aren't as good and do seem more watery

I prefer the extra creamy planet oak, gives more a body. Use it daily with tea and/or coffee.

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".

Nope.

I've been disappointed by oat milk every time I tried it. To me it just tastes bad. At this point I'd rather take the coffee black.

Soy milk tastes differently from milk, but is passable at least.

We've switched to oat milk as lactose intolerance has become more of a thing with age. We usually get what's on sale though, and have noticed a difference in quality, taste, and if it separates easily in the coffee. I prefer oat to almond (too watery) and soy (too nutty).

I drink it with milk but my wife is lactose intolerant so she has it with oat. She prefers it to almond and soy milk, however there are vast differences between brands and types.

If you want to try something genuinely competitive, I found the "barista" Oatley to be very good. Typically if it's marketed for barista use, it's thick and uses a different binding that works better in coffee. It's not good for cereal and stuff, though, it often feels like drinking half and half. Lol

Adding to everyone else's recommendations - Earth's Own barista's oat milk is amazing. It was the the one that helped my family stop buying cow's milk.

1. Soymilk unsweetened
2. Oatmilk Extra Creamy
3. Black

Silk is excellent and a bit cheaper than Oatley. Smooth, light Oatley flavor that feels just like milk to me. Also great with matcha. Califia regular oatmilk and its Barista variety are also very good.

I've also had some random "oil separated and you didn't realize it" experiences with Oatley I've never seen in another brand. Just opened it and poured oil right out. Nope. That and the price keep me away from it.

I'm personally a sweetened condensed milk person, a single spoonful is the perfect amount of sugar and milk.

As the other commenters say: extra creamy is a requirement, in my opinion. I use Planet Oat Extra Creamy and I have no complaints.

Oat milks vary greatly in taste between brands, and between normal vs barista. You will have to try around a bit, but the better ones I have had are delicious in coffee - better than cow's milk, and without animal suffering.

Try extra creamy oat milk. Works like a charm.

I used to use milk, but shifted to cream because I use much less and the coffee stays hotter.

Planet Oat is about the worst IMO. For first timers I always recommend Oatly Full Fat (Oatly Barista if you are going to steam it). Chobani is also pretty good.

I take oat milk over the other plant based milks I’ve tried. It’s the closest to making it taste and feel “filling” like dairy milk.

They sell cartons of “barista” type milks for plant milks as well. I think they’re more concentrated or have sugar or something to make them a better fit for coffee. Never tried those tho.

Almond milk is even more watery, so compared to that it’s ok. You can maybe try pea or soy milk but I doubt they’ll be any creamier. I use plant-based milk for milktea, but for coffee I just go for either non-dairy creamer or lactose-free milk.

I like it. Shake it up. I like almond and rice milk, too.

Only one brand. I’ve found most oat milks to be watery and plain. I think it’s “Pacific” brand. Don’t quote me on that, I haven’t bought it in a while. I found it to be creamier and just slightly sweet. Pretty decent. I generally drink coffee black at home, so I just don’t buy it.

Chobani Extra Creamy Oatmilk.

yes, its good.

I make my own oat milk soo good :)

Black coffee, no sugar. I don't like watered down coffee. Buuuuut if I had to, oat milk would be the best choice.

A safer choice for a person with lactose intolerance.

I'm a fan of hot coffee beverages with milk but prefer iced versions with oat.

They make oat milk specifically for coffee. My dad uses that stuff, dunno what brand, its from Lidl. Its more thick than milk and totally changes the color.

Personally I don't really care whats in the coffee. I drink it black, with cow juice, oat milk, cream, whatever. As long as I get caffeine, I'm good.

Oatly Full Fat. The only way to go.

I can't speak for coffee as I've never drank it, but the Oatly oat milk goes great in hot chocolate, super nice and creamy

I prefer oat milk over regular milk in general. I use sugar free oat milk, no name brand. Just make sure to properly shake the container / bottle properly before you pour it in.

I make my own cold brew concentrate and oat milk, and then use the oat milk in place of a third or so of the water. It doesn't really end up watery, and you can adjust the flavor by tinkering with the oat milk recipe. I prefer it to dairy milk because it is cheaper, lasts longer in the fridge, and causes less suffering to dairy cows (I still consume dairy, I just substitute when possible).

I don't even drink coffee.

I looked at the other comments, and this one isn't the least useful.
