By the way, any views on Fairlife milk? I briefly read where it's supposed to be less in sugar and creamier, though I haven't tried it. I was going to pick up some of their chocolate milk, but noticed they used artificial sweeteners, and decided against it--don't like that aftertaste.
RE: cream in coffee
When I do put cream in my coffee, which isn't often, I prefer heavy cream--love the richness.

If I'm going to have an alternative to cows milk, I'll ask for oat milk. There's a coffee shop 20 minutes away that does a fab oat milk flat white. It's the equal of cows milk for coffee.

I looked at non dairy milks while at the store this afternoon. I can buy almond milk for $2.50 a half gallon. None of the oat milks were under $5.00. It’s not like we go through it all that fast, but it would have to be way better than almond milk for me today that kind of premium.

I forget if you actually like oat so if you’re happy with almond, it might be easiest to clap hands and stick with it.

I now know that you’re not a cost kid… I get the ks oat quarts. It’s like $7 for 6 quarts. Or $7 for 3 half gallons. I don’t know cost cost for almond milk. It’s shelf stable so I can store them in the pantry.

I’ve been forced down the non-dairy route (unwillingly) by allergies.
I use unsweetened almond milk on my morning oatmeal/porridge, mostly because I realised by having it with oat milk I was have oats covered in oats with a sprinkling of granola (more oats) on top…
For coffee, oat milk is definitely the least worst option and foams best in a cappuccino/flat white, particularly the Oatly Barista version (or the 3 other barista foaming oatmilks my local supermarket now offers
). But it’s really no substitute for full fat milk and I find myself drinking my coffee black 90% of the time.

Big dairy person here. I use 2% on cereal and drink it with cookies and pastries. I don’t drink it by itself.
I’ll sometimes use pretend milk in cooking when the recipe calls for it.
