Plant m!lks are nothing new. These days, any legume, grain, seed, or nut is made into a mild and m!lky fluid. Look more closely though, and you’ll discover that they are not all created equal. You’ll find ingredients you don’t recognise, additives you can’t pronounce and gums you need to Google. It’s cheaper and easier to add that kind of stuff… but it’s just not our vibe. With our m!lks, you don’t need a PhD in Chemistry to understand what you’re putting in your body, because, as usual, we've listed the ingredients on the front of the packs, all proud-like.

Our rich, creamy milks are great for adding to your cereal, perfect for blending with superfoods in smoothies and amazing for dunking your chocolate chip cookies into. My favourite is to foam them up for silky flat-whites in the morning or for fluffy hot chocolates in the evening.

Ask 10 people what they think about soy and you’ll probably get 11 different answers. Some will swear by it, some don’t care, and some may tell you that the stuff will give you manboobs.

The Okinawans had it all figured out. Long before TikTok “scientists” were trying to convince you to eat more organs, these Japanese islanders were living really, really long lives by eating mostly veggies, whole grains, and soy.

All the myths from the fringe anti-soy narrative have been debunked but I’ll spare you the lectures. God gave you a brain and Larry and Sergey gave you Google. Use both wisely.

Wasted potential?

Granted, the first time I remember trying soy m!lk it tasted like, well, sugary wet cardboard. It was also crammed with lousy ingredients. So I don’t blame you if you’re wincing while you’re reading this.

Over the years, things improved, but not enough for me. I wanted a kick-ass, additive-free soy m!lk that my 4-year-old son would merrily quaff with his chocolate chip cookies.

I’ll have you know that 4-year-olds are the harshest critics, but I think we pulled it off and I’m thrilled with the result.

Ritual n. a religious or solemn ceremony consisting of a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order.

The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is go downstairs, switch on the espresso machine, drink a tall glass of water, then make a flat white for my wife and an espresso for myself. The whir of the grinder perfumes the kitchen air and, as the machine extracts the tawny elixir, my heart warms to the comfort of this daily ritual.

Damn, it’s good to be alive.

Almost 20 years ago, I owned a few coffee bars. I remember one Saturday in particular, working the espresso machine from 7am to 3pm, non-stop and without a break. That day we served over a thousand coffees in that little bar. It was hard but rewarding work. I miss it sometimes. It’s an addictive sensation watching a customer enjoy a drink you’ve prepared with diligence and dedication. It’s a gratifying responsibility to be part of someone’s daily ritual.

Barista n. from the Italian for "bartender” - a person, usually a coffeehouse employee, who prepares and serves espresso-based coffee drinks.

A barista blends art and science to serve you magic. A barista is sometimes the first person you talk to in the morning. A barista can make your day with a big smile and that perfect cuppa.

Our oat m!lk is dedicated to all the hard working baristas out there, who spend their entire shift on their feet, making magic to start our days or gently wind them down.

"What you put in is what you get out" is something my Dad always told me growing up. Another fatherly nugget was "Always do your best."

This wisdom is reflected in our approach to making our drinks. The best way we can. In fact, we're so thrilled with the result, we've listed the ingredients on the front of this pack, all proud-like.

Why Italy? Well Italy is the birthplace of espresso after all and world famous for it's crazy amazing food culture and agricultural heritage. It is in this wonderful epicurean land that we found a great partner to help us make the m!lk of our dreams using scrumptious local oats and ingredients.

Here's a little run-down of each ingredient and why it's in the m!lk you're drinking:

Italian Oats.

It's O-A-T m!lk, right? So we tried to pack in as much as possible at 16%. A whopping 60% more than the famous Swedes. That means a richer, creamier mouthfeel and a denser foam for your latte. Oh, and something very important for us, and in case you were wondering, there is NO glyphosate residue in our oats :)

Cold-Pressed Sunflower Oil.

We use only a drop (less than a gram!) of unrefined, cold-pressed sunflower oil per 100g as a natural emulsifier. It keeps the water and oats blended together to help us achieve such a smooth, creamy texture, without having to add gums, thickeners and other nasties.

Sea Salt.

Just a pinch to balance out the natural sweetness of the oats.

Fernando Pessoa had the right idea when he wrote,

"Look, there's no metaphysics on earth like chocolate."

Our approach to making this drink was simple but challenging: No shortcuts. No ingredients you don’t recognise, no additives you can’t pronounce or gums you need to Google. No added sugar or flavours.

Choosing a random cacao was never an option. For this liter of love, we selected Rainforest Alliance Certified beans from the Dominican Republic - balanced, but bursting with character.

Rainforest Alliance Certified cacao farms are audited against rigorous environmental, social, and economic criteria that protect biodiversity and foster a culture of respect for workers and local communities.

There are two kinds of granolas. First, you get the nasty, sugary stuff peddled by the same suits who employ cute cartoons to weasel their skanky wares onto our breakfast tables. The second bunch is usually exotic, superfood stacked nibbles that require a trust fund or a sugar mama to keep your fix regular.

This, my friends, is your first close encounter with the Third Kind: a balanced blend of good-for-your-gut grains, friendly fats, nutty protein, and sweetness from fruit. Simple, darn delicious, and affordable. Your (real) mama would approve.

Look, I know coffee. I know it well. But I promise never to fling fancy jargon at you like some kind of douchey dung monkey.

There’s really only one way to tell if a coffee is delicious: drink it. If you like it, it’s good. If you really, really like it, it’s delicious. That’s it. Sure, people’s opinions may differ, but as the ancient Romans used to say, de gustibus non est disputandum — there’s no accounting for taste.

Another important thing to consider is the provenance of your morning moxie. Are the beans organic? Are they from sustainable plantations and grown under the natural shade of existing forests? Are they handpicked and sorted by skilled and fairly paid folk in excellent working conditions? I sure hope so.

To summarise, when it comes to coffee, there’s really just two things that count:

✅ It’s delicious.
✅ No one and nothing has been harmed on its way to your cup.

I can happily tell you that when it comes to these beans, both boxes are checked, and then some. Like I said, I know coffee. And now, so do you :)
