Coffee fedi, help me out!

I’m getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don’t sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

    Going to be personal choice, but just you buy soy milk in Sainsbury’s, don’t expect Tesco to be the same. Am in UK but just change the names for your locale.

    I found out a few years ago that I’m not good with dairy, aftervsuffering for about 50! I’ve settled on Tesco Oat Milk. Others don’t taste right and some are awful. Oat has leat environmental impact, but like others have said, you need to be able to get the stuff where you live.

    Or just go naked. I have Earl Gret tea at work as we don’t have Oat milk there. Or green tea.

    It’s going to take a while before you settle on one. Might cost you as well if a lot of it goes down the drain 🤷

      I’ve replaced most of my coffee with yerba mate, which is great, as it has no milk, but packs more of a taste punch than green tea. But I still start my day with a coffee or two, and I don’t want to give that up :)

      I think I’ve settled on Oat though. Lots of people suggesting it, and it’s less of an environmental issue than almond
