Organic Barista Milk

This milk has been specially formulated for use in coffee drinks. We use the same milk supply as our cream-top milks, but we homogenize the Barista Milk to provide consistent drinks. Check out our Press Release!

You can taste the difference!

Straus Family Creamery has developed the first organic milk made just for coffee. The special formula  has been co-created by many notable baristas and Straus milk experts in order to develop a milk that is able to highlight the coffee flavor and maintain tight, uniform bubbles all while adding a smooth, creamy texture. 

Mark Inman, President of Taylor Maid Farms and Albert Straus, President of Straus Family Creamery, first collaborated in February and began development of Barista Milk; first sampled at the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s Western Regional Competition. The Barista Milk line includes whole milk, nonfat milk and half & half.

“We have been trying for many years to have organic coffee shops serve organic milk. When Mark [Inman] proposed the idea for a milk specifically formulated for coffee, it was very exciting. Now coffee shops are able to offer a totally organic coffee drink,” said Straus.

 

Our Barista Milk is available in:

Recyclable Plastic (half-gallons)

Barista Milk Whole

The first specially-formulated, organic milk for coffee drinks.


Now your favorite coffee drink can be made with your favorite milk!

“The coffee world has been obsessively taking apart the idea of coffee and espresso, in particular specific preparation, roasting, and blending methodology,” said Mark Inman, President and Green Buyer for Taylor Maid Farms Organic Coffee and Tea. “Yet in the United States only eight to ten percent of all drinks are solely espresso, the remaining are milk based.  This is the next frontier in the barista’s quest for greatness.”
