Coffee fedi, help me out!

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

People can't tell me what I will like, but they can tell me what the like, and that will help me choose.

It's not just about taste either. Someone pointed out for example that oat milk has less of an environmental impact than almond milk, and that sort of thing helps me make a choice when I go exploring alternatives :)

I've found personally that oat milk is the closest to being a drop in replacement for regular milk in things like cereal and coffee. Most almond, soy, etc. milks seem to be either flavored or heavily sweetened. It has a fairly neutral flavor and consistency.
