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?
Oatmilk creamers, yeah, sure…but like others, it’s too thin for me.
When I buy nut milk, I prefer soy…I hated it when I was younger but idk if my palate changed or the product changed, but now it’s my favorite. It’s also among the most nutritious (pea milk is pretty strong there, too), and requires the least amount of water to produce (that is, from seed to bottle)
Gee, I don’t know about the water claim. I’ve worked on a soy protein extraction site, and our water treatment plant processed enough water for a town of 30 thousand. Produced around 100 metric tons of soy protein powder per day. Most of the water became waste water (full of indigestible oligosaccharides) and the rest evaporated to form the powder.
Soy milk and soy-based shakes/ice cream were among the final uses.
In contrast to oat, I imagine you just soak the flour and filter or centrifuge the solids out. The water used mostly becomes the product.

You may be right about that. Maybe it was lowest carbon-footprint. But I do know that it’s significantly less water than almond (which itself is still significantly less water than cow).
