What brand of milk alternative do you recommend for coffee? I've tried a couple of what my grocery store stocks and one that I ordered online (strive free milk plain and barista version) but none of them seem to replicate what the fat in dairy does to take the edge off of plain coffee / espresso.

Usually I use a mix between heavy cream and half & half with espresso and if I accidentally get fat free half & half (especially if I don't use heavy cream with it) then I can't stand the bitterness / acidity of the espresso or coffee (if I'm making regular coffee instead).

I buy Planet Oat at my grocery store because it's always on sale. I don't use a lot in coffee though, just a splash, I'm not a half milk / half coffee drinkers. So if you are using a lot maybe it doesn't work as well as dairy milk, I don't know. I do use it for cereal and it is the only plant milk that I've found is super close to the 'mouthfeel' of whole milk in cereal. I really like it. Before I tried oat I tried rice milk and didn't like it. I used almond milk for a long time and it was tolerable. Then I tried oat milk and I think it's far superior in cereal to the other options.

I prefer Oatley's Barista edition. Has a creamy and a bit nutty flavour that goes great in coffee and (strong black) tea.
