This almond milk is unsweetened, is very creamy and blends well with the coffee. It is not as thick as dairy cream so you do have to use a bit more, however it is thicker than the Califa Farms regular Almond milk that I also sometimes buy.
I have tried a few brands of plant based cream and have not liked them. Most options come already sweetened, which is strange. The Califa coconut milk version is ok if you love coconut flavor all the time, but it wasn’t my cup of tea, so I prefer this almond milk.
In the past I didn’t have much luck with almond milk in hot coffee, as it didn’t seem to heat well, however the few times I had hot coffee beverages with this Califa Farm barista Almond milk creamer I have not had any issues. It doesn’t taste weird or disintegrate in hot beverages. It has been hot out so I have mostly been having iced coffee, which is perfect right now! And honestly, I cannot wait to try it with Thai iced tea someday.
I did two steaming runs in a Bellman 50SS Stovetop Steamer (this is sold on Amazon). The device functions exactly like a steam wand on an espresso machine. Using the same exact technique as I do when I steam anything else (i.e. using a proper pitcher, correctly angling the wand slightly off center, supporting it on the spout, keeping it just at or slightly below the surface to create the needed vortex, never exceeding 65C..), all it accomplished was heating the liquid. Any "foam" that formed dissipated in under five seconds leaving only a hot almond milk. This might work for adding to a filter/drip coffee or making an almond milk-based hot chocolate perhpas, but that's not what this product is marketed for. There is no head of foam that's suitable even for a cappuccino. Much less lattes with even the most rudimentary latte art. Lattes cannot be made with this product; it's simply impossible.
I then tested it in a Bialetti Tuttocrema, also sold on Amazon. With this device you heat the liquid to 65C, then use a French Press style plunger with two discs at the bottom to froth the pre-heated liquid. The technique I use more than doubles the volume: 40 quick strokes top midway to bottom, followed by 40 long strokes at half the speed top all all the way to bottom. With this product, frothing is a total waste of time. Not one micro-bubble. Nothing. There is no froth at all. I don't know on what planet it froths remarkably well. It's not Earth.
A complete failure, therefore, whether by proper steaming or by preheat/froth.
Standard Unsweetened Almond Milk by contrast steams or froths similar to full fat cow's milk though the foam head as I'm doing it doesn't lend itself to latte art. At least, standard unsweetened almond milk works for cappuccinos. I can't speak about Almond Breeze's "barista" offering as I've never used it, but their standard almond milk steams, and froths to double the volume very easily. I'll take that over this any morning.
I have 4 1/2 cartons left and they will be used for mixing protein shakes. The "barista" was promptly fired.
Only downsides are no vanilla flavor and it's about three dollars cheaper at costco, but you trade that for convenience and gas money.
Very disappointed that it doesn’t froth like advertised!!!
My unsweetened Almond breeze does froth soooo much better!
