Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Barista Blend Drink

Product Information

It tastes almondy, but not overly so, and leaves a hint of a bitter aftertaste. This is because it isn’t as milky or smooth as it should be. You essentially need quite a bit more of the milk to make the drink taste better, but that would then overtake the coffee.

Sort of. I’ll answer the acidity question in the flavour bit of the review. Oaty Bruce takes a minute to froth and form foam, and when it does, it is quite bubbly. These bubbles never really settle, however much you tap. But while there are hints of oat in it, this resembles watered-down cold brew with a splash of milk a lot more than an equal parts composition. You don’t taste those weird synthetic notes, but you don’t taste much else either. It’s very average and doesn’t do anything to the coffee in terms of the flavour.This is quite hard to find. Alpro is one of the most accessible brands on the market, but the barista milks can’t be found in local supermarket stores. While it’s available in a few local off-licences for a much higher price or at online retailers, Tesco superstores are where you’re most likely to find the barista coconut milk. There are barely any big bubbles. A light tap and it’s beautiful microfoam. While it is overly wet, that helps with the overall consistency when adding it to coffee. Alpro Barista Coconut is virtually a blend of soy and coconut. With a base containing 2.9% soybeans, it’s blended with 3.5% coconut milk. There’s added sugar, fructose, sea salt, flavourings, acidity regulators, calcium and stabilisers.

Upon frothing, there are tiny bubbles that don’t all go away after tapping. But the foam itself is very good. Unlike many soy milks, it doesn’t produce any dry foam. Crucially, when added to espresso, it doesn’t curdle or separate, which is another common mishap with soy milk in coffee. 4/5 Minor Figures Baking and Cooking : Transform your favorite recipes into dairy-free delights with Almond Breeze Barista Blend Unsweetened Almond Milk.

Minor Figures Alpro’s barista coconut milk fuses well with the coffee, creating a homogeneous consistency. It doesn’t have the same sweetness you associate with coconut milk, but it does highlight the bitter notes of the cold brew more. Still, all in all, it’s a pretty refreshing drink. 3.5/5 Califia Farms Oat Barista Good Hemp is the UK’s most well-known hemp milk brand. While it does a pretty great oat and hemp blend, it’s not really made for coffee.The Rebel Kitchen Barista Mylk uses 10.5% oats, 1.5% coconut cream, sunflower oil, 0.5% faba bean protein, sunflower seed extract, nutritional yeast (it’s the only brand on the market to use this in its milks), sea salt and an acidity regulator. Rude Health Barista Almond For companies making multiple kinds of barista milks, I chose only one, recommended to me by the brand itself for this review. I used a small French press for the tests, as many households don’t have access to espresso machines or electric frothers. Here’s our ultimate showdown for the UK’s best barista milk. Frothing The ingredients list begins with the standard amount of oat content — 10% — with rapeseed oil, iodised salt, an acidity regulator and calcium and vitamin supplements rounding up the rest of the composition. Oaty Bruce These tests were filmed for four-and-a-half minutes to determine how well the milk foams up, how long the froth takes to settle, how it mixes with the coffee and whether it splits.
