☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

The answer is really nothing comes anywhere close to milk from a mammal. Anyone who tells you otherwise is coping or doesn’t know the true gloriousness of milk foam.
I’m a former professional barista that can’t have milk and this is the bane of my existence.
Basically all milk alternatives are essentially the same. They are water, a bit of something to give it a name and flavor (soy, almond, oat, pick your fad), and oil. Usually seed oil.
The oil gives it the fat that tries to be foam. Oatly is pretty good but a lot of oat milk doesn’t have enough fat, I think most soy milk is good, I don’t know of any almond milk that works well which doesn’t make too much sense since almonds have a lot of fat.
But you have to temper your expectations. Your best option might be regular milk with a supplement to help you digest milk.
