Which dairy free milk is best in coffee

Oat milk is one of the best dairy free milk alternatives to use in coffee due to its thick and creamy characteristics. If you like a creamy frothy coffee foam the store-bought barista style coffee is the best type of oat milk to use. Barista style oat milk has a higher fat content making it extra creamy giving you full control over the density and performance of your micro foam, which is also great for latte art! A great brand recommendation for barista oat milk is Califia Farms Barista Blend. It’s Made with whole rolled, gluten free oats grown the oat milk and has no gums or stabilizers. Homemade oatmilk can work great in Ice coffees though, like my Dalgona Coffee recipe, it’s a must try super satisfying coffee beverage!

Helpful frequently asked questions on Dalgona whipped coffee explained

Why Dalgona coffee works?

The chemical reaction between the granulated coffee and granulated sugar is what helps the coffee foam form and become quite air rated whilst whipping.

Will Dalgona coffee work with brewed coffee?

The number of calories in Dalgona coffee foam alone is 40 calories, however the total calorie amount for the coffee beverage will vary subject to the following contributing factors;

The type of sugar you use. Different sugars have a variation of calorie values.

There is now so many non-dairy milk alternatives available for you to use in coffee, such as;

You can serve Dalgona coffee with hot milk, however I find the whipped coffee foam disintegrates faster. This does not affect the taste however visually the fluffy stiff peaks flatten faster and the whipped coffee foam tends to bleed into your milk quicker as soon as you place the coffee on top of the hot milk.
