The cafe that offers customers EIGHT different types of milk depending on their health preferences

When tailoring the perfect coffee order, simplicity is often thought to be king – with minimal modifications often winning the praise of baristas everywhere.

But one Sydney cafe has bucked the trend, offering customers an impressive array of eight different types of milk, depending on their preference and health. 

District Espresso, in Potts Point just east of the CBD, has found a niche with its diverse choices of the staple, according to the cafe’s owner Mitch Gersbach.

The burgeoning options available for sipping are soy, almond, oat, macadamia, coconut, lactose free, full cream and low fat milk

‘Once customers get hooked on one of the milk types which they can’t find elsewhere they become very loyal and love the fact we’re listening when they ask for different options in their coffee,’ he told Daily Mail Australia. 

Milks on offer at District Espresso 

1. Soy

2. Almond

3. Oat

4. Macadamia

5. Coconut

6. Lactose-free

7. Full fat

8. Low fat 

‘We would be asked about various types of milk and I would have conversations with the customers about why they wanted them and what they see the benefit as.’

The burgeoning options available for sipping are soy, almond, oat, macadamia, coconut, lactose free, full cream and low fat milk – with customers picking a clear favourite.     

‘At the moment soy is still the king, almond is growing and is almost as popular as soy,’ Mr Gersbach said.    

‘Behind that, macadamia has been massive too and oat, which we’ve just added, is growing very fast in popularity.’     

However, in a bid to educate his customers on the effects of their milky choices, Mr Gersbach has gone even further and drafted in depth charts showing the origin – and health impact – of each. 

Soy has steadily earned a reputation for the high amount of water needed to produce a cup as the milk’s popularity has sky rocketed

‘While soy is definitely still the favourite, although there is a bit of a lack of awareness about its environmental impact which is why I made up the sheet,’ the owner of District told FEMAIL

The bean-based drink has steadily earned a reputation for the high amount of water needed to produce a cup as the milk’s popularity has sky rocketed.  

Alternatively, oat milk uses 85 per cent less water than almond milk and a considerable 35 per cent less than traditional full cream. 

But for Mr Gersbach, who carries out a wide range environmental initiatives through his business, education can only be a good thing. 

‘Customers love the fact we’re listening when they ask for different options in their coffee – and it’s great they’re getting a full picture on what each provides.’
