Hi everyone, would like to ask generally what brand of Milk do you use for latte or any other milk based coffee drinks?

Lately, I've been thinking of switching from normal milk to barista milk. Normally I would just buy lotus or Dutch lady brand full cream milk and use it for my latte. I've been wondering all these time is there any differences between the two? Saw online people comparing barista milk will taste more balanced and normal milk will overpower the coffee and thus made the coffee more sour. Other than that I can't really find any more info. Have anyone can taste the difference?

Cause from time to time I saw cafes or coffee chain store they will also only use normal milk like farm fresh brand to make latte/cappuccino etc.

Just marketing. If you want best health benefits, goat milk, DIY almond and soya milk..Do not buy ready make soya or almond milk.

Thats what i noticed as well, a lot of coffee shops use those normal milk like farmfresh or magnolia brands too. Farmhouse milk out of my budget, me and my mom usually skim through 1l of milk every 2 days as we make coffee from morning to night sweat.gif Thats why usually i will just buy lotus brand 1l x 12 pack cause its the cheapest available.
I tried almond milk before (glico almond koka) and mix with espresso, taste damn weird lol.
I bought many malaysian brands before and usually i can only taste a mild difference. But its true that overseas brands can taste much more better. When i stay in japan, I bought their local life/topvalu milk and mix with it with instant and espresso can really tell the difference. Maybe cause their milk is not as diluted as ours. Even when I used back the same coffee as in japan and make the same ratio back home, it just taste difference. Not sure if water plays a part as well.

You haven't try homemade almond milk. DIY home made damn nice.
