I would love to see some places defaulting to plant based because I think it's a natural evolution for coffee.”Īndrea estimates that about 90% of drinks at Onyx’s Momentary location are made with oat milk. “I think that many cafes I see still tend to approach plant based milks as an option but maybe not a default. Dairy milk emits 3.2 kilograms of carbon dioxide per liter versus 0.9 kilograms for oat milk, and uses 628 gallons of water versus 48 gallons for oat (these findings come from a study done by researchers for Science, but is clearly illustrated in this interactive graphic from the New York Times that relies on their data).Īlthough this information is readily available and generally understood by most people-most people could likely articulate that plant milks are better for the environment than dairy milk-plant milks still have the hurdle of being treated as “alternatives.” “I really think that approaching it as an ingredient in drinks and not as a ‘special alternative’ is key,” Andrea says. Plant milks are generally less harmful to the earth than dairy milk (contributor Sierra Wen Xin Yeo details the differences in plant based milks here). “The milk alternative concept kind of naturally positions itself as the choice to make if you can’t drink milk instead of something you might experience as a take on a coffee drink.” Designating oat-or any other plant milk-as the alternative option means that for many, plant milks are only treated as a secondary ingredient, not as an ingredient that can stand on its own with milk. “We’ve been working towards a point of view on our menus for a while that presents plant based beverages as an ingredient to a drink and not as an ‘alternative’ to milk.” says Andrea Allen, 2020 United States Barista Champion, Urnex Ambassador, and the co-owner of Onyx Coffee Lab. In adopting oat as the default, Onyx hoped to change that perspective.
