Uht milk got some taste vs farm fresh better

Hmm, it's very easy to tell the difference between Farm Fresh milk 1L or 2L (chilled, expiry date 2-3 weeks), Dutch Lady full cream milk 1L (unchilled, expiry date 6-12 months) and Lotus full cream milk 1L (unchilled, expiry date 6-12 months).

The chilled milk you find in the fridge section will be different quality and taste different from the unchilled milk you find on the shelves. It's a short expiry date for this chilled milk normally not more than 3 weeks. The usual unchilled milk 1L packets you find on the shelves with long expiry date, these milk will surely taste different as I presume they put in preservatives, otherwise they won't last long. Also, if you check the ingredients, Dutch Lady full cream milk has a rather high sugar content, so they actually add sugar and some flavouring inside the milk. Farm Fresh is pure milk and based on their advertising nothing is added though I'm not sure how true is that.

From the taste itself, Lotus full cream milk is already quite different to both Dutch Lady and Farm Fresh so whether Lotus has teamed up with Farm Fresh or not, they taste different to me although I can understand you find all of these milk to taste the same. I guess everyone is different, and if you have found the milk to taste the same, then good for you since you can just buy the cheapest milk and enjoy!~ Lotus full cream milk is only RM4.99 per packet, cheapest. To me, the taste with Lotus is the worst compared to Dutch Lady and Farm Fresh as it is a bit tasteless, though it's better than the rest ie. Fernleaf and the rest which have a weird taste.

As for myself. I drink 4x Espresso shots, so creamy milk is a must for me. I've tried all, except Yarra and Eco-Yap.

In the end, I made my own milk formulation Farm Fresh+Anchor Whipping Cream at 50:50 ratio.

I use this brand for latte art. I've tried all except coconut.

Taste wise I dont see any difference. But as for frothing the milk fr Capucino using a normal fresh milk(ingredients need to state 100% milk) eg; green box from dutch lady to get the best bubble consitency without having to buy the more expensive "barista milk"

the cafe nearby is using Farm Fresh
i find 1 particular milk will overpower the beans (at least for my tastebuds) - HL Milk - very funky dairy taste

Farm house > good day > farm fresh > the rest

Stick with fresh milk ONLY

Of the handful of brands I've tried, yea can taste some difference. But HL milk has the biggest difference.

I stick to Farm Fresh now mainly because of convenience. The taste is pretty good as well so no reason to buy other types, which sometimes out of stock.

Oh didn't know it is low lactose milk

Good day now no fresh milk right

Got, blue colour pack that 1…

Mostly see full cream

OIC.
I can’t take milk. Usually ayam wife buys those lactose free type

Yes. I m fond of oatside
It does make the coffee a different flavor than ordinary milk.
Though it has some sweetness in it.
I like to order coffee with this.
But on the downside got additional cost

I use V-Soy low sugar.

I once used milk where on the box it got written ‘professional’ on it, but when I heat the milk using a steamer, it foams way too quickly and turns to curdles.

Now, just stick to full cream instead.

I use Dutch Lady full cream milk. Since I don't put sugar to the coffee.

in sg they always use Meiji or Pauls

Similarly I find Farm Fresh milk to have the best taste. Whenever there is offer I'll grab 2 bottles of 2L.

I think I could be mistaken the price with promo, buy 2 at RM18 instead of each RM18, also 1L long time already since I last work as barista

I buy 6lits per week
