Almond Barista Blend

Truly the best almond milk in the market. Makes it easier for frothing and the rich consistency makes coffee drinks delicious. Easy to store and lasts a long time. I recommend them.

I have tried a number of almond milks for use making lattes and cappuccinos at home and this is by far the best. While my regular milk lattes and cappuccinos/etc turn out great, regular Almond Breeze or even the regular Califia Farms almond milk (i.e., the non-barista blend) separated, didn't froth and tasted a bit odd. I began to ask my favorite coffee bars which almond milk they use in their drinks and, with the exception of the few that make their own almond milk in house, the answer was Califia Farms Barista Blend. The quality of the barista blend closely mimics regular cows milk coffee beverages - the barista blend does not separate and also manages to form a bit of foam. Also, it tastes good! Aesthetics aside, the barista blend tastes better than Almond Breeze or other regular almond milks that I have tried in my espresso mixed beverages. You should note, however, that unlike the regular Califia Farms almond milk, the Barista blend has both added sugar and thickeners. This is most likely the reason for its stability and superior taste in espresso beverages.

This is by far the best tasting almond milk that I have tried in my espresso drinks. I'm not a fan of almond milk because it usually tastes like paper or that soft papery shell around an almond nut instead of coffee. This does not have that taste. It does not foam for me as well as some other milks (soy and Ripple's pea protein milk does better), but it isn't bad. I was in search of a good almond milk since I am concerned about using soy (which for me is the absolute best in espresso drinks) and the pea protein just tasted kind of strange. So I will continue with this!

This is a decent almond milk. It doesn't give as much of a nutty aftertaste as other soy milks that are easily accessible in a grocery store. In terms of frothers, I have tried various frothers and what not. It is important to note that this will not produce a large foam. And you will not be able to use the nespresso aerocino models with this milk in terms of foaming. It needs a higher temperature or a proper frothing wand-- this is key. You need to "pull the milk" properly with a frothing wand which is what this milk was designed to work with. The nespresso Creatista has a wand attachment and that will actually froth the milk. It won't be intense, but there will be some froth. If you want a non-wand frother, you can try the breville one on amazon. You can increase the temperature. This does not need to be refrigerated until opened, which is awesome. However, you should chill the milk before opening for the best froth. Starting at room temperature will not provide enough froth. Basically- if you want froth- chill this milk before use use a frother with a steaming wand it will not be a lot of froth but sufficient enough to make you feel like you're drinking a latte. Try increasing the heat settings on your apparatus if it doesn't work.

If you plan to FROTH this milk, whether with an espresso machine or a hand frother, read the RECENT comments. Califia changed their thickening agent which makes it so the ALMOND MILK BARISTA BLEND does not froth. You will not get a silky milk. You won’t be able to make latte art. I have purchased this brand for over 2 years, have used 2 different espresso machines that have their own frother, and have been able to make latte art consistently so I know it’s not a skill issue. I purchase their Oat Milk Barista for myself and the Almond Milk Barista for my partner. Their Oat Milk Barista is fine (for now) but their Almond Milk Barista is absolute garbage with the change. This change in formula is only a few months old so maybe I will switch back when they revert their formula. You WILL regret this purchase if you intent to make latte art. Tastes fine, but ruins the experience of being an at home barista. I purchased this brand over Oatly or Chobani, both of which I have tried before, due to the better price on Amazon but will go back since Califia delivers a very poor quality product.

I love Califia Farms Barista Blend Oat Milk and have used it quite a bit in my espresso drinks. The downside for me is the calories, so when I saw that their Almond Barista Blend has only 70 calories per serving, compared with 130 in the oat version, I was excited to try it. Unfortunately, I'm really disappointed in its frothing performance. The description specifically advertises this as being formulated to "froth + steam perfect lattes," but I simply cannot get it to froth properly. I have a Ninja Luxe Café 701 with an automatic frothing system, and I've tried it using the auto frother as well as frothing it manually. Neither method produces the results I expect from a barista milk. I know the problem isn't simply that almond milk can't produce good foam because the regular almond milk I normally buy, which isn't even marketed as a barista blend, froths better for me. I also checked the shelf life / expiration dates on these cartons, and they're good until January 2027, so old product shouldn't be the issue. That's particularly frustrating because everything else about this almond milk is good. I like the flavor and texture, it blends nicely with espresso, and the lower calorie count was exactly what attracted me to it. I'll still use the six-pack I purchased because it works perfectly well poured over my shaken iced espressos. But when I want an espresso drink with actual foam, I'm reaching for a different almond milk. I really wanted this to be a lower-calorie replacement for Califia's Oat Barista Blend, but for something specifically marketed as a Barista Blend and advertised for frothing and steaming, I expect it to actually froth. The taste is good enough to save it from a lower rating, but the performance doesn't live up to one of the product's biggest claims.
