Oatly Baristamatic: Oat drink developed for fully automatic coffee machines

Oatly is presenting Baristamatic at Anuga. While the classic Barista is designed for manual frothing, Baristamatic was specifically developed for use in fully automatic coffee machines. The key was to achieve ideal viscosity and stable behavior against sedimentation. This is because most fully automatic machines are technically designed for cow's milk, which requires special adjustments for plant-based alternatives. Oatly has therefore optimized the process to ensure that the oat drink flows smoothly while offering the same taste and performance as the classic Barista.

Baristamatic for fully automatic coffee machines: same ingredients, new technology, perfect results

In terms of composition, Baristamatic hardly differs from the well-known Barista Edition. The ingredients remain the same, but the process technology has been further developed. The aim was to tailor the physical properties – in particular viscosity and stability – to the requirements of automatic milk systems. In collaboration with various machine manufacturers, Oatly has adapted Baristamatic so that it performs reliably in fully automatic machines, foams well, and does not form residues.

A key feature of the new variant is its slightly higher fat content. This ensures that the foaming behavior of Baristamatic corresponds to manual foaming with a steam nozzle. The creamy, fine-pored foam remains stable and harmonizes with espresso.

Plant-based milk alternative with high quality standards

Baristamatic is not a substitute, but an addition to the range for the growing market of plant-based milk alternatives. It is aimed at anyone who likes to prepare their coffee conveniently in a fully automatic machine but does not want to compromise on quality. The product impresses with its creamy texture, stable foam formation, and ease of use. At the same time, the classic Oatly Barista remains in the range—it is and remains the preferred product for those who froth manually or celebrate latte art.

Oatly strengthens its position in plant-based milk alternatives with Baristamatic

With Baristamatic, Oatly is responding to the growing demand for plant-based milk alternatives that are compatible with modern coffee machine technology. The Swedish manufacturer combines technological innovation with sustainable product thinking, underlining its claim to bring plant-based drinks to the same level of quality as classic milk. Baristamatic shows that plant-based drinks have become not just an alternative, but an integral part of coffee culture.
