    Oat milk in coffee is delightful. I find almond milk a bit too “non-present” I can’t think of a better word

      Yeah I like that almond milk is not too much flavor. It means it doesn’t distract from the flavor of the thing it’s added to, only changes the texture and smooths out bitterness and other unpleasant flavor components like with tea and coffee. I prefer to get good tea or coffee and not add anything, but that stuff is expensive, so I get middle of the road quality and add almond milk to smooth it out but still keep some of the highlights.

      Oat milk is good for the really mediocre stuff, though. It smooths it out a lot and adds some flavor. And I do like oats a lot in general. But a lot of times the oat milk is too gritty or too heavy. I found that making my own oat milk does eliminate those problems, but takes more effort and doesn’t last long if I make a lot of it at once to reduce the effort.
