Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? We’ve shared some of our most frequently asked questions to help you out!
Which plant-based milk froths the best?
Oat milk (barista edition) is the most consistent across machines. It steams well, froths without splitting, and has a neutral flavour. Soy milk also performs well but can curdle at high temps. Almond and coconut milks tend to be less stable, though some barista blends perform better than others.
Is fresh milk or powdered milk right for my office?
Choose Fresh Milk If:
- You want a premium café-style experience with rich, creamy texture.
- You have a fridge or milk cooler to keep milk fresh and safe.
- Your staff or clients expect barista-quality lattes, flat whites, and cappuccinos.
- You have someone who can do a daily rinse and weekly clean of the milk line.
- Ideal for: Offices with 20+ staff, high coffee consumption, and a focus on quality and experience.
- You want less maintenance and longer shelf life.
- Your machine is in a self-serve or unsupervised space.
- You prefer a lower-cost, no-fridge-required solution.
- You’re happy with basic milk-based drinks (more like a vending-style texture).
- Ideal for: Warehouses, factories, remote locations, or offices under 20 staff where convenience is key.
Should I offer more than one type of milk in my workplace?
If you have a team of 20+ people, it’s worth offering a secondary milk option, especially if you know some staff are dairy-free. Many businesses keep their default milk in the fridge line, and use a separate milk frother or glass container for alternatives like oat milk, allowing for manual selection without cross-contamination.

What’s the difference between chai tea and chai latte?
Chai Tea (also called Masala Chai)
- A traditional Indian spiced tea made by simmering black tea, spices (like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves), water, and often a small amount of milk and sugar.
- Has a stronger tea flavour and is more like a spiced milk tea.
- In workplaces or cafés, chai tea is often made using liquid concentrates or powder mixed with water.
- A Western café version of chai tea made with steamed milk and chai concentrate or powder.
- It’s much milkier and creamier, served like a latte.
- Usually topped with light foam and sometimes dusted with cinnamon.
- In automatic coffee machines, it’s usually made using chai powder mixed with hot milk or water.
What’s the difference between Prolait milk and New Zealand milk powder?
Prolait or Regulait milk are freeze dried skim milk powders from Italy and France. They previously have been acknowledged as the standard for use in automatic coffee machines and vending machines. The taste can take a little getting used to.
New Zealand milk powder typically uses NZ milk, light blue or skim. It’s the best taste when compared to fresh milk.
Black Stag’s NZ milk powder doesn’t clog. Some milk powders that use glucose syrup or whiteners will clog more easily in the machines.
