Earlier I said that “in theory” it's the protein which allows milk to stretch, and the fat which helps with the pour – I say in theory, because Minor Figures has about a fifth of the protein as in Oatly Barista, and has 30% less fat, but I found virtually no difference in way that they stretch our pour. Nutritional stuff (per 100ml).

Rude Health is one of the two brands on this list with multiple barista milks on offer (the other being Alpro). The brand nominated its barista almond blend for this test. So if you're not all that bothered about latte art, it's hard to see what the benefit might be for you in going for the Barista version. Also, some Barista oat milk contains an acidity regulator in the form of a chemical found in antifreeze, yum ;-). OK, this is supposedly a safe food additive, but if I wasn't bothered about latte art I wouldn't choose to consume an additive like that if I didn't need to.

There’s added sugar, fructose, sea salt, flavourings, acidity regulators, calcium and stabilisers. I'm editing this post by adding more oat milk options that I'm in the process of trying, so if you're reading this around mid-March 2022, just keep in mind that I do realize I'm missing some popular brands, and they're coming soon. The flavour is quite neutral and there is no trace of that chemical aftertaste present in the espresso test. My guess is that it’s the application of heat to certain ingredients that lend plant-based milks like Rebel Kitchen’s and Califia Farms’s barista editions the unappetising artificial flavour.
