While some people prefer to drink their coffee black, others opt for coffee with milk<\/a>. A splash of milk to take the bitterness out of the coffee\u2014or simply because a cappuccino, latte, or cortado is just so delicious. But which types of milk (and alternatives) are best suited for coffee, and how do these types affect the flavor?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Coffee with Cow\u2019s Milk<\/h2>\n\n

\u201cCappuccino with oat milk or regular milk?\u201d For many people, \u201cregular\u201d milk still means cow\u2019s milk. But since plant-based beverages are becoming more common, we prefer to refer to it as cow\u2019s milk. When you choose coffee with cow\u2019s milk, you\u2019re choosing coffee with a creamy texture and a rich, full-bodied flavor. That\u2019s due to the high fat content in whole cow\u2019s milk. Prefer something a little less fatty? Low-fat or skim cow\u2019s milk is also an option, of course, though frothing<\/a> won\u2019t work quite as well with these.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Coffee with goat\u2019s milk<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

For those who find the switch to plant-based beverages too big a step, goat\u2019s milk offers a good alternative. It\u2019s still a dairy product, but it contains less lactose and is therefore suitable for people with a cow\u2019s milk allergy. Thanks to its naturally sweet and slightly nutty flavor, goat\u2019s milk pairs well with coffee. Still, goat\u2019s milk has a fairly distinct flavor that\u2019s worth trying if you\u2019re curious about adding a new twist to your coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Coffee with Soy Milk<\/h2>\n\n

Soy milk is the pioneer among plant-based alternatives for coffee with milk and, in terms of nutrients, comes closest to cow\u2019s milk. Soy comes from the soybean, a legume, and is rich in protein and unsaturated fat. How does soy milk taste in coffee? Nutty. Its texture is creamy, making it very suitable (and delicious) for your coffee. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Coffee with oat milk<\/h2>\n\n

Oat milk is quickly gaining popularity as an alternative to cow\u2019s milk in coffee. It has a creamy texture and a subtly sweet flavor that pairs well with the bitterness of coffee. In addition, oat milk is enriched with vitamins and minerals, and oats contain no cholesterol. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Many people think that soy is more sustainable and healthier than animal products. But is this actually true? <\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n

Coffee with Almond Milk<\/h2>\n\n

Not entirely surprisingly, almond milk adds a nutty flavor to your coffee. And compared to whole cow\u2019s milk and soy milk, almond milk contains less fat. So if you\u2019re not a big fan of coffee with creamy milk, almond milk is a great alternative. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Coffee with coconut milk<\/h2>\n\n

In the mood for a sweet coffee with milk that\u2019s just a little different from the usual? Coconut milk adds a sweet, tropical flavor and gives your coffee a creamy texture. It can be a bit overpowering, though, so go easy on it if you don\u2019t want the coconut flavor to stand out too much.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
