"On a Reddit thread on espresso, a poster noted that due to a recent formula change and the removal of an emulsifier, the Kirkland oat milk no longer froths. Several commenters also noted recent difficulties using the oat milk in their coffee, with one noting that "this was my main use of the Kirkland oat milk. Never buying that again, I guess"."
"Coffee drinkers also took to the Costco product page for the Kirkland oat milk to express their unhappiness with the new formula, which garnered numerous one-star reviews. Several stated that they will no longer buy the oat milk, or will not buy more unless they change the formula. One even plans to return the existing boxes they bought with the new formula (taking advantage of Costco's generous and hassle-free return policy)."
Kirkland oat milk underwent a formula change that removed an emulsifier and altered texture and performance. Coffee drinkers report the new formula does not froth, preventing foam creation for espresso-based drinks. Consumers have left numerous negative reviews and say they will stop buying the product or return recent purchases. Reported issues include a cardboard-like taste, watered-down consistency, curdling, separation, quicker spoilage, and the addition of canola or sunflower oil. Many shoppers who previously favored Kirkland oat milk for coffee have switched brands or refuse future purchases unless the original formula is restored.
