    The fat content of the raw milk produced by cows ranges from about 3.3% up to 5%.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_content_of_milk

    TBH I kinda get the dude who added milk powder to his milk, though. One of my favourite ways to drink coffee is to add instant coffee (the pure coffee variant, no milk powder) to a cup of milk and microwaving it. If you want to add proper coffee and don’t have an espresso machine, I can see milk powder making up the difference.

        I used to work with someone who, mid-afternoon, would declare “ooOOooOo, I think it’s time for a ⨍ɑׁׅ֮ꪀׁׅᝯׁᨮ꫶ׁׅ֮ ᝯׁᨵׁׅ⨍⨍ꫀׁׅܻꫀׁׅܻ” and slink off to the kitchen. We had a Nespresso so I just assumed it was one of those but, no, what she did was this:

        • Mug of full-cream milk with several teaspoons of Coffee Mate added
        • Microwave until steaming/bubbling
        • Mix in three or four Canderel
        • Mix in a teaspoon of Nescafé instant coffee
        • Vanilla syrup
        • Add a couple of coffee granules on the surface where they can dissolve to make a pattern because “that’s what they do at Starbucks”.

        So, yeah, these people walk amongst us.

        I hear what you’re saying, but I also appreciate their willingness to find a solution for their need.

        I ended up with some cases of chocolate plant based muscle milk, which is at best really ok. If I drink it in the morning I’ll throw a fat scoop of instant espresso and some benefiber in it. Covers my morning needs and tastes a little better lol.

      Sounds like Vietnamese coffee, where coffee is steamed up into a cup of sweet condensed milk
