I was supposed to stop drinking coffee for my stomach's sake, but after a week with almost none, I still had two cups today... Goddamnit.
Can any Swedes tell me about Oatly? Seems to be the next popular thing.
Sorry for necrocommenting, but I hate that stuff. My sister (on-off-again vegan) used to buy it and have in her coffee. Not as vile as some soy milk. Nut or rice milk is better.
...And all the text on their packaging and in ads is in
English. This is Sweden and you're a Swedish company, damnit!
Anyway. the point of having cow's milk in coffee is that it is a
buffer solution: it reduces the coffee's bitterness in your mouth*. I have yet to find a plant-based milk that has that effect.
Instead, the flavours in soy-milk and oat-milk tend to harmonise with the bitterness in coffee — and not in a good way. The flavours work better in hot chocolate.
If you are vegan and want less bitter coffee, you could instead get higher-grade coffee that is less bitter to begin with, such as Monsoon Malabar or whatever. Avoid dark-roasted coffee, and avoid letting it oxidise.
*: but not your stomach, where the buffer-effect breaks down when the stomach acid overtakes it.
