    I drink my coffee black usually.

    But if I am taking it in an insultated travel mug, I add almond milk to cool it down so I don't burn myself drinking it, and I find it doesn't 'water-down' the taste too much. I dislike milk (but loooove cheese, sour cream and ice cream!).

    I find almond milk too "gloppy" (for lack of a better word) for eating on cereal or drinking in hot beverages. I do like it to cook hot cereal and have never thought to use it for smoothies, but with summer coming up and with it my usual lack of desire for dinner, I might try it. I use goat's milk for cereal and hot beverages. Mmmmmm . . .

    I recently gave up creamer in my coffee. I was addicted. I now drink it black. I tried the unsweetened coconut milk in my coffee and again decided I'd rather drink it black. But it tastes great in my oatmeal!

    My sister and I found coconut milk creamer. It's sweeter than coconut milk, but isn't as thick as regular creamer. We put it our tea and in my opinion was better than regular creamer.

    I actually like coconut milk in my coffee (I just like all things coconut in general), but use regular 1% as that's what the family drinks. I don't drink much milk on it's own...pretty much just a splash in my coffee so it's never worth buying a whole carton of coconut milk...it would go bad before it ever was used up.

    Cooking (apart from hot cereal) = milk

    Everything else (coffee included) = unsweetened vanilla almond milk or unsweetened cashew milk.

    Prefer the taste, but my stomach thanks me even more.

    Hubby prefers full fat milk (I think it's just cause his mom was a crazy hippy who thought we shouldn't drink milk because 'we're not baby cows' but apparently we ARE baby soybeans...)

    Son prefers full fat milk for everything but chocolate milk (which he insists on almond milk for)

    So our fridge is predominantly 'milk & milk-like products', yes... XD

    We all agree coconut milk is gross!

    I have a dairy allergy, so the cow stuff is not an option, and I've tried all the alternative milks for my coffee. I drink cappuccinos, and use the steam wand on the espresso machine to froth the milk, and almond milk is by far my favorite for taste and frothiness. Almond and soy are the only ones that froth properly. I alternate between the unsweetened vanilla versions of Silk and Almond Breeze, depending on which brand is on sale.

    Coconut milk I buy in cans to use in curries. Delicious.

    almond milk tastes gorgeous in hot chocolate :P lovely nutty taste.
    and smoothies or even as a glass of milk but I hate it in tea (not that I drink it much anyway)

    At home we use 1% milk which is great but my boyfriend prefers full-fat - at the moment we're compromising on semi-skimmed at university but will probably end up with loads of different cartons when we eventually find our own place :P

    I love Almond Milk or Cococnut milk unsweetened in by fruit smoothie. Bananas, Strawberries and blueberries. Yummy.

    I'll tolerate nut milks in coffee, but I think they suck in general for that purpose. For everything else, I don't taste any huge particular difference between them and skim milk, so I go for the nut milks because the unsweetened ones have significantly less calories.

    I don't mind coconut milk in small doses. Almond milk tastes like almonds. I've never wished for an almond to drink. So F almond milk.

    I hate the taste of almond milk when it's warmed up. I use a coconut milk creamer with my coffee, look out for one next time you go to the store. Much better than regular coconut milk in the carton or the can.

    yea, not good in coffee. but I've started preferring my oatmeal cooked in coconut milk. and weirdly, i like almond milk (unsweetened) on it's own.

    Ugh, almond milk in coffee is downright nasty. Can't stand it. I use both regular milk and almond milk. I'm never strictly either one. Some days I'll use regular while other days it will be almond.

    I use almond milk for oatmeal, gives it extra flavor that I enjoy. I used almond milk in my cereal this morning and enjoyed it.
