Oat is usually my go-to but I do like almond and cashew milk quite a bit. Many years back soy milk was the only non-dairy option in stores around where I lived so I tolerated but it never grew on me.
I remember hemp milk being fine, and some coconut milk in a fancy espresso drink can be nice. I don't think I've tried any of the others.
Harvey Milk was a great band.

3Oat is probably the best balance of taste and ingredients I feel alright about consuming. Nut milks like almond taste good but the process consumes a LOT of water. Soy milk tastes fine to me but I've read conflicting things whether it's good to eat or not (fermented soy like miso is health beneficial though). Coconut is fine as its own thing but terrible in coffee or tea drinks. Rice milk is fine but we have much better options these days (shout out to the nineties vegans..)

4Whether you're talking about taste, health or environmental impact, for a milk substitute I do believe the answer is oat.
Coconut is doing its own thing.

6My diet isn’t dairy-free, but I do like almond or oat over moo cow milk in my coffee or with granola. I used to not like soy, but that was a long time ago and we are in a much different world now with dairy alternatives.
Keeping an eye on this poll to see what else I might enjoy. Voting oat.

8Oat is the best tasting and useful of the bunch right out of the container. Some blend of oat and coconut would probably be the best.

9Unsweetened Macadamia Milk is by far the most versatile for me. It’s great in cereal. It’s great in coffee (though I’m mostly a black coffee person unless the coffee sucks) and works in a pinch in recipes. I wholeheartedly recommend Milkadamia - despite the pun.

10I don't have much experience with this topic. I don't have issues with lactose (though I have tried Lactaid.. and it isn't bad.. though off-topic), and the non-dairy substitutes I have tried (soy in particular) have not been good. That being said, I acknowledge there are more reasons than intolerance to lactose to consider drinking non-dairy milk and am now interested to try oat milk in particular.
