    Just not possible to keep milk in the shared fridge at work - it all "evaporates" within a few hours!

    Is there a product that would be good with ground coffee from a press?

    Dealz do coffee mate, I never had it. Its a non dairy creamer by nestle
    https://www.dealz.ie/coffee-mate-180g

    might be worth a try at 1.50 as in tesco you can only get big 500g pots for 4.75 -so dealz is cheaper per gram and if its not nice just leave it for others in work.

    There is a full fat dried milk powder that is meant to be OK, most powder milked is skimmed milk. This stuff can be in Asian supermarkets, esp. the more Indian orientated ones.

    Called Nido and also by nestle, I saw a couple of users here recommend it before for tea/coffee

    The other trick is to keep your own milk stashed in a opaque water bottle or an empty "yogurt drink" bottle ;)

    Oat milk works very well in coffee, as does almond milk. They both need to be kept in the fridge, but others might not be as quick to help themselves.

    Must have a look

    Must have a look for one of those thanks. Had been wondering re powdered milk for tea coffee if I had to go into Corona isolation but hadn't looked yet. Years ago there were 2 brands I think easily available in supermarkets. Was one called Marvel? But with fresh milk lasting so long demand must have disappeared. Would never have thought of an Asian shop but will now!

    marvel is a skim milk powder like most would be, but most would prefer full fat

    If I only could get skim milk powder I would add some butter too -seriously butter in coffee is a thing, or coconut oil and presumably some other oils.
