What is the best plant-based milk for coffee? | Gundry MD

Serious Eats / Victor J. Pagán

“You’re the coconut in my coffee” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it as “You’re the cream in my coffee” but given that several studies have shown that some nondairy milks are better than cow’s milk for the environment and potentially for our health perhaps it’s more romantic? Either way it’s becoming more and more common for people to ditch the milk and opt for plant-based beverages instead.

Swapping out almond milk for full-fat or 2% in cereal or pancake batter is one thing but whether any of these plant-based alternatives can compete with espresso is less clear. Will they steam properly? Will they taste weird? And what about that precious latte art?
