Careful - these things tend to turn sour quickly.

Skimmed for me, anything else now tastes like cream!, but i’ve developed a lactose intolerance over the last few years so it has to be lacto free.

I’m exactly the same Rich - including realising I have a bit of a lactose intolerance now. I do still like cream on my pudding though.

Full fat here although it’s more like skimmed now. When i were a lad full fat milk had cream in the top section of the (glass) bottle

If you want a nice coffee, put cream in it.
Use semi skimmed for everything else.

Wife went diary free years ago, so changed to Oat Milk. Now I actually prefer it and don't particularly like milk in my tea or coffee (other diary products are fine, ice cream etc).

I'm glad you correctly omitted soy from the list.

Weirdly I am the same, for me milk in coffee tastes weird, a bit like ghee so I always have oat milk in a hot drink. I’ll happily drink normal milk on its own, or with cereal, but warmed up it tastes bad for me.

if we’re on milk and bins discussions we presumably must have nearly completed the internet?!

Milk in tea and coffee. Skimmed. Although I'll happily have a spoonful of double/whipping cream.

I put cream in my morning coffee if there’s leftover from using it for cooking the night before. Feels like I’ve arrived.

Whole milk here - give me all the nutrients please as opposed to coloured water. I especially like it when you get some chunky lumps of cream plopping into one's cereal or brew. Or glass of milk.

You get supermarket or delivered? A lot of stuff is homogenised these days sadly. Ours is delivered and we'll often still get cream in the top. We could specifically order non-homogenised though for a good proper layer of cream.

Supermarket, so that probably explains it

I also have crappy reactions to dairy so despite loving the stuff I am a certified soy boy (better nutritional profile than oat) for applications where I can’t taste it, and oat for everything else.
Bloody love full fat Greek yoghurt tho. The higher fat content the better

If you buy the Jersey milk there's cream on top.
