Am a big milky coffee fan and a recent convert to almond milk. I really miss a good flask of coffee on a day out. Does anyone know whether almond milk will work in a flask? Does it go funny?

    Can't stand it in coffee. I have switched to black. Took about a week to get used to it. Less hassle!! Better taste!

    It doesn't work for me in my coffee.

    I switched to 2% milk in my coffee and have an ounce in each cup. Usually ends up being 4 Oz total per day and around 70 calories. It's worth it for me.

    Why, please tell me why would you put almond milk in a nice, good cup of coffee? :#

    I like my coffee black with Splenda and I don"t like almond milk in anything.

    I don't like it in coffee or tea. It doesn't mix well and it doesn't taste right. Milk or cream for me. I only have two cups a day. If I have a third cup, it's black.

    I use cream and cream only in my coffee. The few extra calories and grams of fat are worth it to me. I like almond milk and coconut milk to drink or on my oatmeal or in smoothies, but not in my coffee or tea.

    Sorry just to be clear. It works for me in coffee. It was the almond milk in coffee in a flask I was curious about.... I'm guessing as it is clearly sonewhat of an aquired taste I'm probably going to need to experiment for myself....

    If you like the taste in your coffee, I don't see why putting it into a flask would make any difference. It's not like doing so is going to cause some chemical change in it.

    Almond milk is such a ridiculous waste in the first place.

    I put Almond Milk in my coffee daily with a dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice and I love it.

    Using your logic, why would you spoil a good cup of coffee with Splenda? Just curious.

    I'm a huge almond milk fan and use it in almost everything, but coffee is where I draw the line. That's my one place where I get a half and half indulgence (no sugar, can't stand it sweet).

    I love almond milk. I love coffee. I hate them together. I prefer the coffee black actually. If I'm putting protein powder in my coffee, then I like a little almond milk. Otherwise it's black or with cream and sugar.

    If you used a flask (I assume you're talking about some kind of uninsulated container) for your coffee when you put dairy milk in it without it going "funny," coffee with almond milk should certainly last as long if not longer without going "funny."

    I switched to almond milk when i was doing a cleans and never went back. I have gotten used to it and now it is all I use for everything I would use milk for.

    I don't understand why almond milk would be different in a flask than in a cup. It keeps longer than milk.

    Splenda doesn't affect the taste of my coffee but any kind of milk does. Did I satisfy your curiosity?

    I tried putting Almond milk in my coffee once, but didn't like the taste of it. I like my Coffee Mate better.

    Yes, but I prefer the taste of homemade almond milk to store bought in coffee.
