I’ve been using Chobani Oat Extra Creamy. Sometimes it does this sometimes it doesn’t. Send help please.
Oatly barista edition.
This here. If you can't get the Barista edition then Full Fat is the next best thing. Chobani oat milk is rank imo
Yes full fat is the second choice. Bigger cartons, but needs to be refrigerated before opening.
I work at Starbucks, and that is exclusively what we use, at least at mine.
Seconded.
I'm not even vegan and I really like that one.
Not vegan either. I like Oatly better than regular milk in my coffee and cereals. I still eat regular cheese and yogurt.

We have a few different oat milks that are for coffee, all of them have worked fine. Never seen it clump up like that.
Fuck oatley, get Elmhurst. It's literally just oats, water and salt. It doesn't separate in coffee/tea if your just adding it after it's brewed. You don't need all the additives, gums and other shit.
If your making latte's and such they do make a barista version with a couple more ingredients to prevent separation.

They only split because the water is boiling. If you just wait a few mins before adding milk it won't split
I use a french press so it usually is sitting for about 3-4 minutes before I pour it into the mug then add milk. Maybe if I warm the milk up a little first so its not such a shock?
Sorry I should say I only know this because I have a coffee machine which spits out a coffee at not boiling temperatures
I don't know how long it needs, but I've never had any brand of milk split in the not boiling coffee
My wife uses plant-based milks and it seems to only happen to non-barista type milks. If it's just the plain Flax, Oat, Soy, whatever it seems to split easier than those that are specifically designed for barista use. They're not much more expensive, and she's the only one who uses it, so it's worth the extra. Your results may vary.

Add milk first then coffee. This ensures the milk is warmed slower than if poured into coffee. Stirring at the same time can help. But I've had this happen as well, it's definitely a temperature issue.
Try "barista-grade" oatmilks from Earth's own and oatbox
I find it so weird that this sporadically happens. Same box, same coffee, same day, different results.
Temperature?
Could be but then it'd have to be a very specific temp.
All other factors being equal; I’ve found that for dairy milk, making tea in a thermal flask is very different than a mug. The water stays too hot and cooks the milk.
Ngl, that's gross, lol
Yep
adding a tiny pinch of baking soda to coffee usually prevents coagulation of plant milks by raising the pH
this is what I do so I can use straight soy milk
I have only seen this happen if I forget to shake the carton before pouring. Never have issues like this with any oat milk otherwise.

Hello there, as far as I understand this'll happen due to the low fat content of the milk so if you find a barista edition, those have higher fat content and won't do this, they made them for cafes so they'd feel similar to half & half
Its proteins and acids afaik. Not fat. Coffee is slightly acidic and denaturates the proteins.
Yes. The fat stops the protein clumping.
Same effect can be seen in cooking with low fat vs full fat sour cream.
Reducing the coffee pH also works

Minor figures oat milk barista blend.
Does anyone know what baristas use? It's none of the ones I've seen and tried mentioned in the comments. Whatever they use doesn't turn coffee into a brown soup either.
In the UK Oatly is the go-to. They have a specific 'barista' oatmilk which is pretty decent.

Funny how many explanations, or straight up random brand names, appear here
- acid
- fat
- temperature
- stirring
- Oatly barista
Learn to appreciate the beauty of it.
Sproud Barista or orginal! Tastes quite a bit like regular milk. It's made with pea protein. Sometimes it's available at Wholefoods, but you can purchase it on Amazon as well
I use almond milk and it never does this
The only brand I found that doesn't curdle your plant-based creamer in coffee is the Silk brand creamers, either the regular or oat, perfection.

I use Planet Oat and haven’t really had this issue, I only notice it if my coffee has been sitting too long. I used to use the Aldi store brand before that and that had a similar issue to what you’re seeing.
Silk soymilk I’ve found generally gives me good results.
Alpros "this is not milk" perfecto for cofee
I thought it was a pancake stuck in your cup.
Is it chunky or sandy or is it just the oils and solids separating a bit? What happens if you stir it up?
Its not chunky or sandy, if I swirl it around a bit it recombines then separates again after a minute or so.
Trader Joe's have a great brown sugar oat milk that I like the best. I highly recommend it and it doesn't split
