I stopped drinking regular milk actively more than a year ago. At work we have soy milk which is good enough, but Oatly is definitely the gold standard milk replacmenet for me. Unfortunately I am finding that in Edinburgh cafés and other establishments are struggling to find suppliers that supply Oatly. This has resulted in a lot of places using other brands of oat milk which are universally terrible, so now asking for oat milk in your coffee is a gamble. As I understand it Oatly's methods are patented. Upon finding this out I even tried to buy shares in Oatly, but unfortunately they aren't publically traded.


Many people, including me, think that Oatly's iKaffe tastes better with coffee than milk.

You can see that in the local market here in Finland. Large number of oat and soy milks next to each other, many brands stay fully stacked (they taste bad) but Oatly's iKaffe is always almost out or out.

People have started to buy more of it when it is available, so it vanishes from the shelves even faster.


Oatly actually ran out in London around Christmastime last year. Other oat milks aren't very nice - Minor Figures do great canned mocha drinks for example, but their oat milk makes a poor flat white.
