Milkman Low-Fat Milk - Instant Dry Milk Powder Packets - For Coffee, Baking, or Travel - Just Add Water, Makes One Quart - Classic, Natural Taste with the Kiss of Cream! (2 Pack)

I hesitated to buy it because growing up with 6 kids my parents couldn’t always afford whole milk in the carton. So we always drank “powdered milk” which was not very good. But this is great We don’t drink a lot of fresh milk so even the smallest size tends to spoil before we use it up. I just tried this because I figured I could keep it for a long time and use it for the few times we have breakfast cereal, making cornbread etc. This works fine. Dissolves easily and surprisingly it tastes pretty good. I’m satisfied.

This is a high-quality item. I mainly use it for my coffee, and it tastes great. It's good for people who want to have a little milk in their diet. It's easy to have on hand and store.

This is unquestionably the best powdered milk product on the market. The packaging has been updated to seal in freshness— a very good improvement from way back in the day when packages were porous and paper-like. It mixes well—it has enough cream to taste rich, but not so much that you have to use hottest water to get it disolved— like the competitor’s products. They’re also portioned into one-quart envelopes that keep the rest of the product fresh for years. You don’t have to open a 16-gallon package or container that starts the clock ticking. Once cold, it’s almost like drinking real milk. GREAT to keep in hand for baking and emergencies.

Milkman Lowfat Powdered Instant Milk. Class B. Mixes surprisingly easily in water to a clear smooth finish on the palate, richer and fattier mouthfeel than non-fat competitors is offset by an unpleasant "protein shake" flavor. Nevertheless, one of the best milk powders available. Recommended. *In the photo: Emergency Essentials (aka Provident Pantry), Auguson Farms (aka Country Fresh), MilkMan Results of my powdered milk taste test comparison: How I tested: I did a side by side comparison with myself and a couple friends of some different powdered milks. The same amount of milk powder was used, mixed into the same amount of room temperature water. The samples were all stirred until completely dissolved. I did not use hot water, because not all products dissolve into hot water. Products were allowed to rest only a minute before sampling, because my intention is to use milk powder per serving. We also compared them with actual non-fat milk. In general all products will taste better when allowed to rest overnight and fully chilled, but the goal of this test was to reveal comparative defects. I have tried: Augason Farms, Carnation, Country Cream, Country Fresh, Emergency Essentials, MilkMan, Nestle, Nido, Organic Valley, Peak, and Provident Pantry. In general, they fall into three categories: A. Emergency Essentials (formerly Provident Pantry). This is quite tolerable and tastes as close to actual milk. It acquires a very slightly sour, burnt taste when mixed into hot water, tea, or coffee; however, it does mix easily into hot water, and overall it is palatable. This is the best powdered non-fat milk. B. MilkMan. Tentatively placed into Class B, because although it is the best low-fat powdered milk product, it has a slightly off-putting “protein” flavor (if you have ever had a protein shake, protein bar, etc. you know what I mean.) Still, it mixes easily into water. It’s quite expensive as well. For my money, I did not feel the slightly richer body was worth the “protein shake” flavor. C. Everything else. All other products suffer from various defects: sour, acrid, bilious flavors; clumping, foaming, significantly increased effort and time to dissolve in water, inability to mix directly with hot water, separation in tea or coffee, grainy mouthfeel. As a caveat, the flavor of Organic Valley is Class B, but its finicky preparation, clumping, and cost put its overall score in Class C. I also encourage people to seek out “The Great Powdered Milk Taste Test” online. It’s a good review, but it’s a bit out of date, since there have been some company mergers/name changes and it left a few products out.

I really was surprised at the quality and taste. The big bonus was the creaminess and taste for coffee. Definitely will purchase again.

This powder Milk taste the most like fresh milk. I love it!

taste is ok but it curdles when warmed.

I have a cabin and sometimes not able to stock up on fresh goods. these work awesome. and, if you mix it and let it sit in a fridge or cooler overnight its even better.
