Soy milk has about half the calories as cow milk (and is friendlier for climate), perhaps that can save your coffee.
absolutely, but sadly it's much more expensive, at least here in Germany.
Discounters like Aldi or Lidl are selling soy and oat milk for prices only a little higher than cow milk.
@SnorriSturluson @rstein And that's what I don't really understand. How can skipping the middleman (or middlecow in this case) make a product more *expensive*??
EU subsidies and competitive pricing stuff happening for cow milk (it’s one of these products supermarkets consider essential and thus they aim to compete with Aldi prices). Also for soy products since they are considered “lifestyle” products producers and stores assume they can make more profit from those.
And here in Germany we have a VAT (MwSt) of 19% on plant milks and 7% on cow milk. Because cow milk is „essential“.
