I’ve been using Chobani Oat Extra Creamy. Sometimes it does this sometimes it doesn’t. Send help please.
minus-squarerishado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·9 months agoHello there, as far as I understand this’ll happen due to the low fat content of the milk so if you find a barista edition, those have higher fat content and won’t do this, they made them for cafes so they’d feel similar to half & half
minus-squarePantherina@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-28 months agoIts proteins and acids afaik. Not fat. Coffee is slightly acidic and denaturates the proteins.
minus-squarepirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-28 months agoYes. The fat stops the protein clumping. Same effect can be seen in cooking with low fat vs full fat sour cream. Reducing the coffee pH also works
minus-squarerishado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoInteresting, thanks for the info. So theoretically if you get a ‘low acidity’ coffee bean this would be less likely to happen?
minus-squareActers@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-28 months agoOr just add something that changes the ph of the coffee before adding the milk
minus-squarePantherina@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-28 months agoLike natriumcarbonate, whatever common name you use wherever you live. In germany its called Natron
minus-squareActers@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 months agoNatrium is the obsolete name for sodium. He is recommending sodium carbonate called soda ash. It’s a strong base ph level. Don’t add too much.
