  • One of my favorite milks for coffee. I have a Krups foaming device and it delivers great foam as long as the milk foams well. This gives me a very convincing cappuccino, which is nice. Just a little bit sweet and very creamy. If I am watching my sugar, I’ll mix it with Ripple pea protein milk . But it’s not as foamy.

  • Overall I enjoy this oat milk! I use it to make lattes at home along with my espresso machine. It froths really well which can be difficult to find with oat milks. I do wish it was a little creamier, but the taste is great.

  • As someone who is always on the go, this oat latte mixe from Minor Figures always comes in clutch. After chilling overnight in the fridge, I just fill my metal cup with ice and top it off with 8 ounces of the oat latte mix and I'm ready for the morning. When I need a little more kick, I'll add 4 ounces of a cold brew.

  • First of all, I love the illustrations on the packaging---it is stylish and represents the simplicity of the ingredients in the products. A lot of oat milk has unnecessary ingredients, but the barista oat I tried is pretty minimal!

  • I love this oat milk because it has a great sweet taste to it. It is creamy and works well when I use it as a base for making boba tea.

  • I find this oat milk MUCH tastier than Oatly because it's less watery. I've also tried one of their lattes and liked it a lot. The branding is fun as well. If I see this in stores I'd probably opt for it over Oatly nothing else but taste considered.

    Feedback

    I wish the oat milk containers were a bit bigger for $6.

  • After finding most other oat milks unremarkable and pretty much the same, I was pleasantly surprised by Minor Figures. There's a silkiness and body to the oat milk that adds more to my coffee, hot and cold, and gives a little extra coffee shop / barista feel. Nice simple branding.

  • I love this oat milk. Super creamy . It compliments various different drinks . I’ve made coffee, matcha , and hot cocoa .

  • On a trip to St. Louis, Missouri, I stumbled across a small market on the Delmar Loop. I needed caffeine and randomly found this brand I’ve never seen before! I’m a fiend for packaging, so that’s why I grabbed it. I’m also lactose intolerant, so instantly seeing “oat latte” sold me too. But luckily, as soon as I took a sip, I was in love! My ideal coffee/latte, is just plain coffee or espresso, with milk. Little to no sweetener or flavoring. So to see the ingredients were literally just coffee, oats, sunflower oil and sea salt, I was so happy!! I may or may not have instantly bought a pack of 12 on their website already 🫣

  • Minor Figures Barista Oat is hands down the creamiest, smoothest oat milk around. It plays nice with hot coffee, froths like a champ, and adds a hint of sweet magic to your cup. This oat milk is a game-changer for coffee lovers, so give it a go and thank me later!

  • I tried out their oat milk and it's excellent! Super smooth. Great packaging. Tastes great. Nothing to complain about!

  • Overall, I LOVE the branding of this. It's so fun to look at. It also tastes wonderful, so what more could you want?

  • Love their oat milk! The branding is also awesome. Have yet to try their other products.

  • I cannot speak highly enough about Minor Figures. I first tried them in a Misfits Market box and have since moved into their coffee and chai cans. Their premade products are amazing! Their milk, however, is the best product they have. I love smaller containers of oat milk as it takes me a while to get through them and they've mastered the perfect size container. The milk blends perfectly into whatever food I'm cooking and tastes amazing mixed with coffee and teas that I make myself. It also froths perfectly!

  • Minor Figures oat milk has a nice, creamy texture and is great for frothing, but it’s not my favorite. The taste has a slightly bitter or earthy aftertaste that doesn’t blend as smoothly as other oat milks. It’s a decent option, especially for coffee, but I prefer other brands with a more neutral flavor.

  • The oat milk itself is an ordinary nice tasting drink but I love their brand concept. The icons they have on their packaging is very fun and unique.

  • A favorite oat milk barista blend in the house, Minor Figures does plant-based products well. It doesn't have nearly the added oils as Oatly, and is even creamier than most. It froths into a silky texture, which is perfect for at-home lattes and cappuccinos. The can-based drinks are good too.

  • Their barista series oat milk steams really lovely. Is also great in an iced matcha.

  • As someone who almost always sticks with regular milk for drinking or for use with tea, I was very surprised at how good this oat milk was. So far this might be the only alternative milk I have bought more than once because it was good enough to warrant another buy. I also love the packaging, as it is quirky yet eye-catching.
