Minor Figures Regenerative Barista Oat Drink

Minor Figures built this one for the steam wand. Regenerative Barista Oat is a gluten-free oat drink developed by a team who came out of the specialty coffee world, and it shows in how it behaves under pressure: it stretches into a dense, glossy microfoam, holds structure long enough to pour properly, and sits underneath the coffee rather than shouting over it. At 12% oats with a rapeseed oil base, the body is full and rounded without the chalky finish that lets a lot of plant milks down in a flat white.

What separates this from the rest of the Barista Oat range is where the oats come from. Made in partnership with Wildfarmed, every oat is fully traceable and regeneratively grown in the UK. Wildfarmed growers farm to third-party audited standards using cover cropping, minimal soil disturbance and greater plant diversity, all aimed at improving soil health, increasing biodiversity, and cutting carbon and water pollution. It's an outcomes-based system rather than a prescriptive one, which gives farmers room to hit those targets in ways that suit their land. If certified organic matters more to you than regenerative farming, the Minor Figures Organic Barista Oat covers that ground with a shorter, five-ingredient recipe.

Flavour-wise it's at its best with medium to dark roasts, where it lifts the roast character and softens acidity into a balanced, comforting cup. It's fortified with calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12 and iodine to support a balanced plant-based diet, and it's just as good cold: poured straight from the carton, splashed over ice for an iced latte, or over cereal. Available as a single 1-litre carton or a case of 6 x 1 litre, and you'll find the rest of our milk alternatives alongside it.

What makes Regenerative Barista Oat different from standard Barista Oat?
The oats. This version uses fully traceable oats regeneratively grown in the UK through a partnership with Wildfarmed, and it's gluten-free. The texture is also a touch richer, with a fuller, more velvety mouthfeel than the standard Barista Oat.

Is Minor Figures Regenerative Barista Oat gluten-free?
Yes. It's made with certified gluten-free oats and is suitable for anyone avoiding gluten.

Is it organic?
No. Regenerative and organic are different systems, and this one is made with regeneratively farmed Wildfarmed oats rather than certified organic ones. If organic certification is what you're after, we also stock Minor Figures Organic Barista Oat.

Which should I choose, Regenerative or Organic?
Go Regenerative if you want UK-grown traceable oats, a gluten-free option, or the added calcium, vitamin D and B12. Go Organic if you'd rather have organic certification and a stripped-back five-ingredient recipe with no fortification. Both steam beautifully, so it comes down to what you value on the label.

What is regenerative farming?
It's an approach focused on restoring soil health rather than depleting it. Wildfarmed growers work to third-party audited standards using techniques like cover cropping, limiting soil disturbance and promoting plant diversity, with measurable outcomes for biodiversity, carbon and water quality.

Who are Wildfarmed?
Wildfarmed work with a community of UK farmers producing wheat, barley and oats using regenerative principles. Their model prioritises measured outcomes for nature over prescriptive rules, giving farmers flexibility in how they hit those targets.

Does it steam and foam well for latte art?
Yes. It's formulated specifically for espresso work and stretches into a stable, silky microfoam that holds long enough to pour patterns properly.

Which coffees does it pair best with?
It performs best with medium to dark roasts, where it highlights the roast profile and rounds out acidity. Lighter, more acidic single origins can work, though you'll get more separation of flavours than balance.

Can I drink it cold or use it outside coffee?
Absolutely. Pour it straight from the carton, use it over ice for iced lattes, or add it to cereal, porridge and smoothies.

How long does it keep once opened?
Refrigerate after opening and use within 7 days. Unopened cartons are ambient stable, so keep them somewhere cool and dry until you need them.

What sizes can I order?
A single 1-litre carton, or a case of 6 x 1 litre. The case is the better option if you're getting through it at any pace, whether that's a home setup or a small cafe.
