Steam Test: Non-Dairy Milks

Maybe the moo juice just doesn't agree with you or perhaps you've got philosophical dietary restrictions that say coffee is okay but animal's milk isn't and you still want a latte. Whatever the reason, it's well known that achieving microfoam with non-dairy milk is next to impossible. We recently requested samples of Pacific Natural Foods' Barista Series soy blenders, which are specifically formulated to achieve better steaming and foam results. They also sent along some samples of rice and hemp milk, so we took those out for a spin, as well, to see how they stood up under the pressure. Watch Gail test 'em out! Mmmmmnnnnnutty.
