It’s not even just that, imo. Our supermarket (in Germany) has a ton of plant-based not-milks. Those seem to sell pretty well. It’s just that oatly does not seem special in any way besides having hipster-friendly marketing. I see no reason to get their milk over any of the competitors.

Oatly has a full fat variant that is 10x better for baking usage than any other plant milk I’ve tried.

(This in no way justifies that valuation but I wanted to randomly chime in here.)

oat milk is the only non-milk that tastes good in coffee, to me
I recently cut back on seed oils, and the taste of sunflower oil in oat milk is now very noticeable.

I don't mind it because of thinking that having a bit of it in every other cup of coffee is poison, it's more that the aftertaste is less enjoyable than straight espresso or an americano now that I notice it.

Time to give soy lattes a try, lactose intolerance is a literal PITA.

I’m not diluting my tasty coffee ;)
