Oat has quite a pleasant taste, works well in coffee plus a much smaller environmental impact seems like the logical choice.
One could consider to stop drinking coffee. Coffee itself has a rather large environmental impact as it is. Or drink it without milk-like substances.
For sure, my coffee stays black 95%+ of the time but change is the spice of life. Nonetheless, you highlight a solid point regarding the consumption of coffee. Being soo prominent world wide must make it detrimental environmentally.
Not Milk is my favorite, followed closely by soy. Oat tastes good but has a thin mouth feel.
I feel it, I drink milk seldomly but oat works when I crave some cereal or want to lighten up my coffee every now and again. Soy is a solid choice though as well, pretty even with oat when it comes to global impact!
