If you’ve ever admired the perfect latte swirl in a coffee shop and wondered why your at-home efforts fall flat, this one’s for you. Perfect foam isn’t luck, it’s science, texture and timing. And now, thanks to MYOM Barista Oat, you can achieve that same silky-smooth micro foam at home, every single time.
Unlike most plant milks, MYOM Barista Oat blend isn’t just about foaming for coffee. It’s designed to deliver the creamy, milk-like mouthfeel that elevates everything from breakfast porridge to hot chocolate. It’s indulgence without compromise, barista performance meets everyday versatility.
The Art of Perfect Foam
Foam is where taste, texture and technique meet. Those glossy bubbles sitting on top of your flat white aren’t just decorative; they’re structural. They hold aroma, soften acidity and create that signature silky feel.
Traditional dairy achieves this because of its high fat and protein balance. Most oat milks struggle, they either split, collapse or create large, loose bubbles. MYOM Barista Oat fixes that, combining the right protein structure with a creamy base that actually behaves like milk under steam.
Behind the smoothness lies a clever recipe: oats for body and flavour, fava bean protein for structure, and rapeseed oil to create the perfect balance of richness and sheen. The result? Micro foam that pours glossy, stable and satisfying.
Why MYOM Barista Oat Exists
When MYOM set out to create a better oat milk, the goal wasn’t simply to copy what had gone before, it was to improve on it. Consumers wanted something that tasted authentic, foamed consistently and came with a lighter footprint. Barista oat milk existed, but the gap between café quality and home consistency was still wide.
That’s where MYOM Barista Oat comes in. It’s a next-generation oat blend made for people who love to foam at home and enjoy the creamier taste of a barista blend. No more guesswork. Just creamy, glossy reliability every time.
And because MYOM is all about Make Your Own Milk, the experience starts when you do. Each 130 g pouch mixes with water to make 1 litre of fresh oat milk in seconds, much fresher than any carton, lighter to ship and easier to store. You control when it’s made; MYOM ensures it tastes like perfection.
Taste of Perfection: Extra-Creamy, Neutral and Balanced
Taste comes first. The flavour profile of MYOM Barista Oat is carefully tuned to be creamy yet clean, with light malt sweetness and subtle vanilla notes. It’s full-bodied without heaviness – the kind of balanced smoothness that makes you forget it’s plant-based. Pour it into cereal, blend it into smoothies or froth it for flat whites; the result is always the same: smooth, milky and satisfying.
Taste profile:
- Milky and silky
- Lightly sweet (from natural oat sugars)
- Balanced caramel and vanilla undertones
- Clean finish – no ‘oaty’ aftertaste

How MYOM Barista Oat Compares to Carton Milks
MYOM proves you can have premium texture and taste without compromise on sustainability. It’s lighter to ship, easier to store, and delivers café-quality results straight from home. To understand why MYOM performs differently, it helps to see how it stacks up against standard carton barista milks.

Consistency You Can Count On
If you’ve tried to foam other plant milks, you’ll know the uncertainty. One day it’s glossy, the next it’s bubbles and disappointment. That inconsistency is exactly what MYOM Barista Oat was built to solve. Every element of its formulation, from oat ratio to fava-bean protein, was engineered for reliability. The protein structure stabilises air bubbles; the rapeseed oil adds elasticity; the natural oat sugars help caramelisation under heat. Together, they give you the same result, every time you steam. No splitting. No curdling. No waste. Just dependable, microfoam at home. This certainty is what sets MYOM apart. You don’t need to adjust your technique or second-guess your temperature. Just follow the steps, and MYOM will do the rest.
Barista-Level Performance Beyond Coffee
Although it was created with the help of baristas, MYOM Barista Oat isn’t limited to coffee. Its smooth, neutral taste and stable foam make it the perfect choice for:
• Hot chocolate: thick, creamy, not cloying.
• Matcha & chai: balances earthy and spiced flavours.
• Tea: won’t curdle, even in strong builder’s brew.
• Cooking & baking: adds silky texture to sauces, soups and desserts.
MYOM Barista Oat is for everyone who loves milk, not just coffee lovers. That’s why it’s winning over households as well as cafés.

Types of Milk Frothers Available in the UK
When shopping for a milk frother that works well with oat milk, it helps to understand the main types available. Each has its own advantages depending on how hands-on you like to be, your budget, and the foam style you want to create.
Electric Milk Frothers and Hand-Held Whisks
Electric milk frothers are the simplest and most affordable option. These lightweight, battery-powered whisks spin at high speed to aerate the milk, creating instant foam.
Pros:
• Inexpensive and portable.
• Quick to use, ideal for small servings or travel.
• Great for experimenting with different plant milks.
Cons:
• Milk must be pre-heated separately.
• Batteries need regular replacement.
• Produces lighter, airy foam rather than the glossy micro foam preferred for lattes.
Best for: Quick morning coffees, travel, and those who want a budget-friendly entry point to frothing.
Built-In Steam Wand (Espresso Machine Frothers)
For the dedicated home barista, nothing beats a traditional steam wand. Found on most espresso machines, these wands inject steam directly into milk to create that dense, velvety micro foam found in cafés.
Pros:
• Delivers café-quality foam with fine texture and excellent temperature control.
• Works brilliantly with oat milk once technique is mastered.
• Doubles as an all-in-one solution for coffee and foam.
Cons:
• Requires practice and skill to perfect.
• More expensive than stand-alone frothers.
• Cleaning takes longer.
Best for: Coffee enthusiasts who want full barista control and professional results at home.
Jug-Style Frothers
Jug frothers, also known as automatic or electric jug frothers, are a favourite for convenience. They both heat and froth milk at the same time, using induction or concealed heating elements to warm the milk while a magnetic whisk creates smooth, even foam.
Pros:
• Heats and froths simultaneously — no separate pan required.
• Easy to use, clean and store.
• Suitable for both dairy and plant-based milks such as oat or almond.
Cons:
• Limited foam style options compared to steam wands.
• Typically makes one or two drinks per cycle.
Best for: Beginners, families, and anyone who wants consistent, café-style results with minimal effort.
Tip: MYOM Barista Oat works particularly well with jug frothers and steam wands with temperature control (around 60–65 °C is ideal).

How to Foam Like a Pro at Home: Step by Step
Achieving that glossy café-standard foam at home is easier than you think. Here’s how to do it with MYOM Barista Oat.
1. Start Cold
Use chilled MYOM (under 6 °C). Cold milk takes on air more gradually, giving you smaller, more stable bubbles.
2. Stretch Early
Introduce air in the first few seconds. You’ll hear a gentle hiss, not a roar. When the volume rises slightly, stop introducing air and start rolling.
3. Roll and Polis.
Position the steam wand just under the surface and create a whirlpool effect. This breaks down large bubbles into that fine, glossy texture known as microfoam.
4. Perfect the Temperatur
Stop steaming around 65 °C. Overheating can flatten flavour and cause separation.
5. Tap, Swirl and Pour
Tap the jug on your counter to pop stray bubbles, swirl to polish, and pour confidently from height for latte-art-ready definition.
Foam Troubleshooting: Quick Fixes for Perfection
Even the best baristas tweak their technique. Here’s how to guarantee perfect results:
If the foam’s too thin:
• Chill your milk longer or lower the steaming temperature slightly.
If it’s too thick or stiff:
• You’ve added too much air – try stretching for less time.
If it separates:
• You may have overheated it. Stop steaming at 65 °C for best results.
With MYOM Oat Barista, the recipe itself does most of the work – but a little barista finesse brings out its full glossy potential.
The Sustainability Story: Creamier Taste, Lighter Footprint
Every pouch of MYOM Barista Oat represents a smarter way to enjoy milk. Instead of shipping 90 % water around the country, you add it at home. That single change cuts packaging weight and carbon emissions compared to carton oat milks. The packaging itself is a mono-material PP5 pouch, fully recyclable, lightweight, and compact. It saves space in transport, warehouses and your cupboard. And because you only mix what you need, you waste less. No more half-used cartons turning in the fridge. Just one pouch, one bottle, one litre of fresh oat milk when you want it.
Creamier taste. Lighter footprint. It’s sustainability that makes sense.
