Hi all! Don’t kill me but I’m a heathen that just uses a Keurig. I recently got a new one that has an automatic milk frother and it’s been fun to use with regular milk.
I think milk has been hurting my stomach though so I thought I’d use a milk alternative. Supposedly alternative milk types can froth, but I found out the hard way that it is dependent on brand, water, and fat content. I’ve heard of milk alternatives having special “batista editions” that will froth up better, but I’m unfamiliar with what those are.
I tried picking up some almond milk at my local Aldi and it doesn’t froth at all.
Are there some more readily available and prominent brands out there that I can pick up that will froth? I have access to Publix, Aldi, and Walmart. I do NOT have access to places like Costco or Trader Joe’s. I am not picky about what kind of milk alternative it is at the moment (oat, almond, soy)…I’m just looking for a type and brand that will actually froth.
Thanks all!
Brand absolutely matters, but look for anything labeled “Barista” and it should do the job!
Unfortunately that’s the problem. “Barista” versions aren’t readily available in my local grocery stores it seems…hence the question about brand.
Ahhh gotcha.
I love Oatly. Oatmilk, to me, is the closest in mouthfeel (it’s creamy, not watery) and taste to real milk, and it foams pretty well. It also goes really really well with coffee.
Oatly, in my experience, does better than generic oatmilks for foam, but it tends to form larher bubbles that pop sooner, so expect the foam to deflate more quickly than normal
