Oat milk coffee recipes
Have you tried oat milk yet? Whether you’re a huge fan or an alt-milk newbie, we’ve got some amazing recipes for you to try, both at home and in the office. Check out how to make these amazing drinks below!
Iced Caramel Wafer Oat Latte
Fill glass with ice and add two pumps of caramel syrup. Dispense a double shot of espresso from your coffee machine and then pour it over your ice. Whisk some oat milk for 30 seconds until it looks like a velvety foam. Pour the foamy oat milk into the glass and finally, top off with crumbled pieces of a caramel wafer. Now all that’s left to do is sit back and enjoy!
Iced Dirty Chai Oat Latte
Brew the chai tea bag in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Let the chai tea cool to room temperature. Fill glass with ice and pour in the chai tea. Add two pumps of vanilla syrup for sweetness. Whisk oat milk until you have a velvety texture, then add to glass. Stir and enjoy your iced chai oat milk latte. Top off with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Iced Oreo O’s Oat Iced Latte
Pour cereal into a jar and fill up with oat milk. Pop on the lid and shake. Let the Oreo cereal soak in the oat milk. The longer you wait, the more flavour your drink will gain. Fill glass with ice, then pour in your flavoured milk. Now dispense a double shot of espresso from your coffee machine. Finish off with foamed oat milk and add a sprinkle of Oreo cereal on top.
What are the benefits of dairy free milk in the office?
There are obvious dietary reasons for providing a dairy free milk option in the workplace. Many people have health, allergy and dietary requirements that prevent them from having cows milk. By offering your members of staff a choice of milk, lactose-free and dairy-free coffee options, you can help maximise employee satisfaction and productivity.
-
Inclusivity
With a plant-based dairy free milk option, everyone can still enjoy milky hot drinks regardless of their dietary preferences. And using our dairy free milk for coffee machines, this can include favourites like lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites too!
-
Sustainability
From a sustainability point of view, these dairy free milk options can also be kinder on the environment. Oat milk, for example, requires significantly less land and water to produce compared to cows milk.
-
Grow anywhere
The other big environmental advantage of this milk alternative is that oats can be grown pretty much anywhere. They can be grown easily in temperate climates, and are not tied up in difficult issues such as deforestation or loss of biodiversity. Providing dairy free coffee machines at your workplace can align well with your workplace environmental goals.
Our process
At Freshground, we’re dedicated to finding you the right coffee machines for your office and commercial environments. We can help you to choose the ideal dairy free coffee machines for your workplace based on the size and design of your space, your number of employees and your employee preferences.
We carry out discovery sessions with new customers to learn about your requirements and to introduce you to our range. These sessions can be done at your workplace or at our showroom, depending on your preference.
We offer short-term contracts and flexibility to give you the best coffee experience and minimise stress. With no large capital outlay, our machines are affordable even with limited budgets.
Once you have chosen a plan, our team will deliver and install your machines at your workplace. All of our machines come with our essential care service plan, keeping your machines protected from the very beginning.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dairy-free coffee machine?
A dairy-free coffee machine makes drinks using a milk alternative, such as oat milk. This might be a machine configured for dual milk (so a dairy and a dairy-free option), or a machine that just uses dairy-free milk. This allows for dairy-free lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites and more to be created. Ask us about what configurations are best suited for your workplace.
What are dual milk coffee machines?
Dual milk coffee machines are coffee machines engineered to hold both regular and dairy free milk separately, allowing all employees to enjoy the same quality coffee regardless of requirements and preferences.
What dairy-free milk options are available for coffee machines?
We can provide both liquid dairy-free milk, as well as powdered dairy-free milk. The option used will depend on the machine best suited to you, as well as whether you want it to be configured as a dual milk machine, or just a dairy-free coffee machine. Contact the team to discover what dairy-free options will suit your team and workplace the best.
What environments are your dairy-free coffee machines suited to?
Freshground delivers a premium coffee experience for commercial environments. We regularly supply dairy free coffee machines for offices, showrooms, retail environments, hotels, cafés, restaurants and more.
What alternative milks are available?
There is a wide range of alternative milks including oat milk, soya milk, almond milk and coconut milk.
What are the pros and cons of the different milk alternatives?
The pros and cons of each milk alternative largely depends on the preferences and dietary requirements of the coffee drinkers.
Oat milk is known to be flavour neutral and, therefore, works well with specialty coffees.
Soya milk is a well-recognised and popular choice of milk alternative. Many people enjoy the flavour of soya milk with coffee while others dislike it.
Almond milk is also a popular milk alternative and pairs well with less acidic coffees.
Coconut Milk has a distinct, sweet flavour and can work well with coffees including cappuccinos and flat whites.
All alternative milks pose an allergy risk to certain people.
How does using dairy-free milk benefit the environment?
The dairy milk process is very intense and requires a lot of land and water usage, as well as the production of carbon emissions. Some dairy-free milks are far more efficient in the use of these factors, therefore being a benefit to the environment over traditional dairy processes. At FreshGround, we recommend and supply oat milk. Compared to the dairy equivalent, oat milk uses 92% less water, requires 91% less land, and emits 72% less carbon dioxide.
Can I rent a dual milk coffee machine for my office?
Yes! FreshGround offers a few dual milk office coffee machines designed to cater for teams of all sizes. Our rental model is simple, flexible, and includes a service package that will ensure your machine stays up and running. For more information, contact us today and the team will be happy to hear your challenges and recommend the perfect machine for you.
What does lactose-free milk mean?
Lactose-free milk often refers to milk that has had the lactose removed. Lactose is a natural sugar found in milk. Lactose-free milk is ideal for people who are lactose intolerant.
Is lactose-free the same as dairy-free?
No, lactose-free is not necessarily the same as dairy-free. Lactose-free can refer to dairy products that have had the lactose (natural sugar) removed. Dairy-free products refer to those with no milk or milk derivatives and are usually plant-based. Products such as soya milk, almond milk and oat milk can be both lactose free and dairy free.
What is a vegan coffee machine?
A vegan coffee machine isn’t a specific type of machine, but rather any coffee machine that can prepare drinks without using dairy products. This means it should be compatible with plant-based milk alternatives such as oat, almond, or soy milk, and ideally have a milk system that’s easy to clean to avoid cross-contamination.
