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.

Provamel, like Alpro, is owned by Danone. Its barista oat milk, like Alpro’s, uses pea protein, which the brand says is added “to help it foam”. Going with the theme, Provamel is the oatiest of them all. And when added to cold brew, it makes for a super acidic drink. You don’t taste the pea protein at all, though, which is a relief.The milk itself is very white in colour and has a strong hemp aroma.

But it is still a good, milky drink that doesn’t taste watery. There’s also a hint of saltiness that is delightful. Almond Breeze’s barista milk takes extra time to froth properly, but when it does, the bubbles are super small, which is exactly what you’re looking for in microfoam.

Making coconut milk cold foam is very easy, and it makes for one amazing cup of coffee. Ingredients Required This is the hardest milk to find. You can’t find Happy Happy Soy Boy in any supermarket or health store in the UK. That’s because, as the brand explained to The Vegan Review, it’s primarily marketed as a foodservice product and is only available in coffee shops that use it as their house soy milk. You can also froth it using a French press. Fill your French press 1/3 full of coconut milk and pump the plunger to aerate the coconut milk until it froths.
