[Drinking] UHT Milk v Fresh Milk Dispute. Adjudication needed!

[Landgull]

Two people I know are opening a cafe but are having a disagreement about whether they should use UHT milk or fresh milk for teas and coffees.
One of them is insistent on using fresh milk as a lot of people find the taste of UHT milk unpleasant in their Tea. The other thinks UHT milk is fine as he drinks it all the time so sees no problem with serving it to the public.
Would the discerning members of NSC frequent a cafe which served tea and coffee with UHT?

Why would anyone spoil a good cup of tea or coffee by adding milk?
However to answer your question, just have all types of additive (Pat. Milk,UHT,dried,lemon etc. available for the customer to choose.
Perhaps a selection of teas and coffees as well?

Good luck with your cafe.

I always thought you was a wrong 'un

Fresh. I can't believe we're even having this discussion.

It's probably why tea is not so popular in other parts of Europe where UHT is more prevalent because tea with UHT is utterly disgusting, whereas coffee with UHT is just mildly unpleasant.

Could you let the good people of NSC know where this cafe will be so we know to avoid it.

Would it not depend on where in the country they are opening it as apparently up north most people use UHT milk. I personally wouldnt use it unless it used semi skimmed as full fat is too creamy for tea. To refer to glasfryn point I prefer tin tomatoes to fresh on a breakfast or on toast.

Tinned tomatoes ?? Eeewwwwwwww

This can't be a serious discussion for anyone who takes any pride in what they serve, of course it should be fresh milk.

The question for anyone offering to serve the best quality tea is whether they can invest in the modest cost of a fresh water filter. It does depend on the area and the tap water quality, but I frequently find the taste of tea, clearly made with unfiltered water, thoroughly unpleasant.

If a cafe owner genuinely thinks UHT is an enjoyable product, I wouldn't trust him to serve anything well beyond a Slush Puppy

When I lived in Birmingham, it was sterilized milk in tea. If you think UHT is nasty, you should try sterilized. Truly disgusting.

....and I was about to blag you a years worth of complimentary tea and coffee vouchers as a reward for your earlier ringing endorsement! Now I'll just have to pass them on to someone who will actually appreciate them, like WATFORD zero.

UHT is disgusting.
Personally, I can't take fresh full fat milk in tea or coffee, either.
Fresh skimmed is what we have at home, although I can cope with semi.

Are you actually confessing that drinking skimmed milk gives you a semi, but you don't allow it to impede you in any way?

 

[ferring seagull]

Milk is milk and anyone buying a drink should therefore expect it to be 'milk' that is 100% cows milk and not adulterated.

Of course, restaurants cafes etc should be able to provide for other s on request !

I don't mind UHT milk, can't stand skimmed milk in tea though.
Sometimes had powdered milk as a child

Full fat milk in tea is horrendous

 

[willyfantastic]

fresh - what a ludicrous question.

need to get rid of the guy who thinks its ok to serve uht just because he can deal with it. he's either a skimper or an idiot, you dont want either if you want to be successful

Milk is dirt cheap anyway

Having just paid CA$5.99 (about £3) for a 2 litre carton of milk here in Toronto, I can see just how dirt cheap milk is in the UK.

This place I frequent has got it just about right

"The Barn Roastery in Berlin has banned music, sugar, Americanos and, most recently, children."
