You must have a big family and are milk lovers. thumbup.gif 2 bottles (4L) max for me but sometimes I buy 3 bottles and give one bottle to my sister and brother-in-law if they are short of milk, only during promotion period. When there is no promotion, it's Dutch Lady and Lotus full cream milk biggrin.gif

You surely consume a lot of espresso or coffee. thumbup.gif For me, it's drinking the milk as it is since the taste is pure and nice. With other milk (Dutch Lady or Lotus full cream milk) they are not as pure and don't taste as good when consumed directly as is.

I usually add just a little milk not only to coffee but tea and Milo as well. However, only a little milk is used when adding it to these beverages, and to use up the milk quicker so that they won't go bad, I need to drink the milk just as it is and I do enjoy it. The recommended duration to finish the milk after opening is 3 days only though I usually it's a little longer for me, up to 7 days usually but the longer it's stored in the fridge after it's opened, the taste will be slightly off.

I tried a lot of milk, most of my favorite produced by Farm Fresh, but funnily the one I hate the most is Yarra Farm UHT, there's this smell that a bit cheesy like a milk that about to go bad, maybe it's due to the high temperature process. The only UHT I tried and like before is Oldenburger full cream.

I've tried Henry Jones A2, farm fresh, yarra farm (all fresh), and I find all of it taste better than those made with concentrated milk (check the ingredient list).

HL is okay whenever I can't find everything else, yarra UHT is the worse for me. I tried a lot of milk, so far, these 2 are my favorites

TLDR:
Most of the time

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.

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

Just bought and tried farm fresh 2l fresh milk. Farm fresh milk is bit more diluted compared to lotus uht milk. While I can taste sort of slightly more milky flavor but my mom say not much difference. Will try and make latte tmr for more comparison. Btw saw henry jones as well but 1l quite expensive so maybe next time.

Oh I thought it's normal as almost all milk I've bought tastes that diluted. I remember as a kid most milk weren't this diluted.

I saw someone post before that lotus milk they partner up with farm fresh so the milk for lotus and ff are identical, just different packaging. Not sure true or not.

no matter what brand of milk i use, i will check the ingredient. i will only use if ingredient only write fresh milk. some brands and some full cream milk or low fat milk is made from milk solid + other stuff. I don't use those with many additives

HL is reconstitute milk. use milk powder process it to the formula turn to liquid sold as milk. that's why their ad can claim many things. i find their milk taste sweet. need to check their ingredient if any sugar is added or not because long time i never buy already as it's not fresh milk

i think lotus uht same as farm fresh uht last time last i heard online (theres a possibility is DL too), now not sure cause the packaging ard change. Can see the old packaging even the top cap is the same. The old packaging is better too, when pour milk wont splash everwhere.

Same experience as I always thought that Farm Fresh 2L fresh milk is most diluted when compared to the thicker consistency of Dutch Lady and Lotus full cream milk. It's a pure taste. I'm not sure what is Lotus "UHT" milk if it's the same as Lotus Full Cream milk which I always buy. The Lotus full cream milk 1L comes in blue packaging.

Yes this one, always see cafes use this to make milk based coffee. Able to get at store? Can find online UHT version but fresh milk version very hard to find online. Some said need to contact f&n directly to purchase.
