Califia Farms Almondmilk Barista Blend, Dairy Free, Plant Milk, Vegan, Non-GMO, Original, 32 Oz (Pack of 6)

Buen sabor a almendra y cremosa

sabe horrible

This is by far the best tasting almond milk that I have tried in my espresso drinks. I'm not a fan of almond milk because it usually tastes like paper or that soft papery shell around an almond nut instead of coffee. This does not have that taste. It does not foam for me as well as some other milks (soy and Ripple's pea protein milk does better), but it isn't bad. I was in search of a good almond milk since I am concerned about using soy (which for me is the absolute best in espresso drinks) and the pea protein just tasted kind of strange. So I will continue with this!

No espuma y el sabor es muy fuerte

I have tried a number of almond milks for use making lattes and cappuccinos at home and this is by far the best. While my regular milk lattes and cappuccinos/etc turn out great, regular Almond Breeze or even the regular Califia Farms almond milk (i.e., the non-barista blend) separated, didn't froth and tasted a bit odd. I began to ask my favorite coffee bars which almond milk they use in their drinks and, with the exception of the few that make their own almond milk in house, the answer was Califia Farms Barista Blend. The quality of the barista blend closely mimics regular cows milk coffee beverages - the barista blend does not separate and also manages to form a bit of foam. Also, it tastes good! Aesthetics aside, the barista blend tastes better than Almond Breeze or other regular almond milks that I have tried in my espresso mixed beverages. You should note, however, that unlike the regular Califia Farms almond milk, the Barista blend has both added sugar and thickeners. This is most likely the reason for its stability and superior taste in espresso beverages.
