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?

    Interesting… I don’t love oatmeal which makes me wonder if I won’t love oat milk, but again, I’m certainly willing to try it!

    When I think of grains, I think of oat in terms of oatmeal, wheat in terms of wheat farina (e.g. Cream of Wheat), and corn in terms of corn meal (or corn bread — no offense to vegans, I’m not sure you can make that without milk and/or egg, but you can probably use vegan substitutes… I like honey in mine, so that might offset any “weird” taste of a vegan cornbread). So my first thought is “what about wheat ‘milk’?”. Because cream of wheat kicks the crap out of oatmeal. IMO. But I’m not sure you can make a cream suitable for coffee with wheat farina.
