Oat Milk Coffee Culture

Oat milk solidified its position as the definitive dairy alternative for specialty coffee in 2025, with Oatly, Minor Figures, and Califia Farms competing intensely over barista-edition formulations that steam and froth comparably to whole milk. Oatly's IPO and rapid US expansion validated the category, with its barista blend achieving 40% faster frothing consistency than the average almond milk rival.
