I’ve been using Chobani Oat Extra Creamy. Sometimes it does this sometimes it doesn’t. Send help please.
minus-square@rishado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•2 years agoHello there, as far as I understand this’ll happen due to the low fat content of the milk so if you find a barista edition, those have higher fat content and won’t do this, they made them for cafes so they’d feel similar to half & half
minus-square@Pantherina@feddit.delinkfedilink4•edit-22 years agoIts proteins and acids afaik. Not fat. Coffee is slightly acidic and denaturates the proteins.
minus-square@pirrrrrrrr@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink3•edit-22 years agoYes. The fat stops the protein clumping. Same effect can be seen in cooking with low fat vs full fat sour cream. Reducing the coffee pH also works
minus-square@rishado@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoInteresting, thanks for the info. So theoretically if you get a ‘low acidity’ coffee bean this would be less likely to happen?
minus-square@Acters@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•edit-22 years agoOr just add something that changes the ph of the coffee before adding the milk
minus-square@Pantherina@feddit.delinkfedilink1•edit-22 years agoLike natriumcarbonate, whatever common name you use wherever you live. In germany its called Natron
minus-square@Acters@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 years agoNatrium is the obsolete name for sodium. He is recommending sodium carbonate called soda ash. It’s a strong base ph level. Don’t add too much.
