When it comes to their flavor and ability to foam, which alternative milks come out on top?
Second, before we lay out the top-rated nondairy beverages from our tests, I wanted to take a moment to point out why cow’s milk works so well in espresso-based drinks. It isn’t just that it’s a magical combination of fat, sugar, and protein that tastes great when blended with the bitterness of coffee. That combination also means it’s capable of producing and maintaining a perfectly silky and smooth microfoam texture.
The foam was silky enough to hold latte art and pliable enough to spring back when pushed aside on the cappuccino, which is the sign of a quality bubble matrix. Oatly scored second-highest marks on consistency for both drinks, and Silk's Soy came in hot at third. Hemp was a pleasant surprise on texture: Not only did it accept air in a way that allowed for microfoam creation, the foam also remained relatively resilient in the cup, so the drink held on to its latte art.
In our testing, Milkadamia and Oatly tied for best overall flavor: The panel liked the “sweet” and “milky neutral” taste of Oatly as well as the “cereal milk” and “vanilla extract” flavor of Milkadamia. Interestingly, the tasters found Milkadamia to have the highest perceived sweetness, even though Oatly contains 10 more grams of sugar per serving. The pea protein-based “barista series” beverage Ripple came in a very close second.
Silk's Soy, which also contains cane sugar, came in with silver marks. Califia's unsweetened Almond Milk was the caboose, just behind So Delicious Coconut Milk , which contains cane sugar but, again, seems to have been undermined by its texture.Our panel generally agreed that the top three plant-based milks we tested were Ripple , Milkadamia, and Oatly, in that order.
