5.0 out of 5 stars Steams well
My go-to almond milk for making cappuccinos and lattes! The quality is excellent, and the taste is smooth without being overly nutty, which is perfect for coffee drinks.One of the standout features is how well it steams—it creates a nice, creamy froth that holds up well without going flat quickly like other almond milks I've tried. It has a great consistency, making it easy to pour latte art too. Plus, it's unsweetened, so it doesn't overpower the flavor of my coffee.Overall, this is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a high-quality, barista-grade almond milk that performs well in hot drinks. Highly recommend!

I love this milk to make my coffees. It has little sugar. It doesn't give me stomach pain, it foams well and I love the flavor. the perfect milk for a good home-made coffee.
5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT FOR HOME BARISTAS
I love non-dairy substitutes to milk, and this one froths like a dream. The taste is also very good. I wish they had this in the Philippines!
1.0 out of 5 stars "Barista Blend" Should "Froth/Steam Remarkably Well" - No Foam by Either Method
I very rarely leave negative reviews. This is an exception. To start with the positive, there is no issue with flavor, taste or usability for other purposes as mixing protein shakes. A product that purports to be a "barista blend" that "froths and steams remarkably well" should do precisely that. Because the product fails completely for its intended job, I gave it one star despite the otherwise good taste.I did two steaming runs in a Bellman 50SS Stovetop Steamer (this is sold on Bolo). 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 Bolo. 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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good in coffee, I think I got a bad batch.
Maybe I got a bad batch. It's not out of date, but each part of this last batch is good for a while and then starts to curdle in my coffee. Pricy, but I got it because other almond milks don't cream and I can't get unsweetened almond creamer locally any more. I don't like the curdling so I'm considering trying my usual almond milk again. Not sure what to do here. When it doesn't curdle ì works great and tastes fine. It didn't used to curdle. I used to get Whole foods no buzz decaf but the one I'm using now curdles it. I've used it a long time. Maybe I just got a bad batch. At this point I'm looking for alternatives. A low acid coffee wouldn't make it curdle. But I'll have to shop around a bit for that.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best Coffee Cream Alternative
I had the best iced coffee at a hipster cafe in my neighborhood, so I asked them to show me what type of almond milk they use and it was this Califa Farms barista style. I hunted it down on Bolo after not being able to find it anywhere in my local health food stores.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.
3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Froth
Taste is pretty good but it doesn't froth. I'll stick with Silk
5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes like a certain coffee chain
After my standard coffee order of a medium almond milk platter increased to nearly $7, I decided to try and make my own at home. This is same brand of almond milk that a very popular chain coffee shop uses and my homemade latte taste just like those. I’m saving so much money and able to have the same flavor I love.
Buena
No espuma y el sabor es muy fuerte
No lo recomiendo
No hace nada de espuma en la máquina barista es la misma que pusieras una de almendra normal
