Barista Starter Kit

Thanks for giving Nimbus a real go, and for the kind words on the idea and accessories - it's a shame the taste didn't work for you. The avocado oil is one of the things that sets us apart: we use it for creaminess and body in place of the industrial seed oils a lot of brands reach for. Most people don't notice it at all due to its neutral taste profile, but every now and then someone does, and if you're one of them and it's not landing, that's completely fair. It is also lower in sugar than other no-sugar brands of oat, as we do not break down the starches aggressively into 'natural sugars' to bridge the sweetness gap, so that's something to keep in mind too. Before you give up, make sure you try letting it rest overnight in the fridge, the powder fully rehydrates and the taste can actually transform significantly, especially for sensitive palates. It's also great in smoothies, baking, and porridge - so any powder you've got left needn't go to waste. Either way, thanks for caring about cutting down on carton waste with us!

Thank you so much for giving our barista a try and for the kind words about what we're doing, it really means a lot! 🌿 The taste difference is real, and it comes down to what's not in Nimbus: with only 1g of sugar and 1g of fat per 100ml, we're about 70% lower than most oat milks on both. Most mainstream brands use added oils, sugars and syrups to give that rich, creamy flavour, while we use just a touch of avocado oil to keep things clean and simple. So Nimbus does taste noticeably more natural by comparison! The good news is your taste buds do adjust! A little tip — try using a slightly heaped scoop of powder rather than the standard ratio for a richer, creamier result. Many of our customers find that after a few weeks they actually find their old oat milk a bit too sweet and heavy. We also pour a lot of love into every batch, always working to get the taste even better. Getting flavour right in powder form is no easy feat, but we're deeply committed to the cause and it's something we'll never stop improving on. And feedback like yours is so important to us — it's exactly what keeps us pushing! Thanks again for sticking with us — we love that you're on the journey! 😊

You’re not wrong to want glass, a lot of people do! But here’s the part most brands don’t talk about. Glass feels more sustainable, but across its full lifecycle it often has a higher CO2 footprint to produce, transport and recycle. It’s also heavier, more energy-intensive, and breaks more easily — so it rarely lasts a “lifetime” in practice. On a practical level, a 1L glass bottle is also heavy and not exactly ideal (or safe) to be shaking every day. The honest truth? It would have been easier for us to choose glass to avoid answering all the questions, but it wouldn’t have been the better environmental option overall. On taste and texture, Nimbus is designed to be dialled in. Try a heaped scoop and let it rest (even overnight) to build creaminess and flavour. It’s also much lower in sugar and oil than many other brands, so if you’re used to more processed milks, it can take a moment for your palate to adjust — but many find it’s well worth it :)
