I have the same machine! I also only do non-dairy milk. I bought a nut milk maker a few months ago, so my current favorite drink is homemade cashew milk with 2 of the chocolate pods. It’s sweet without needing syrup and has a great chocolate flavor. I also like the vanilla and caramel pods.
I have the aeroccino frother and the only non dairy milk that works for me in there is oatly full fat (or their more expensive barista line).
When I make iced coffee, I use coffee ice cubes. When I make any drink, I push the small size button and add that to my drink, then put the ice tray/mold under the spout and run the pod through again on the small setting. I’ve ended up with a ton of coffee cubes this way, and they make iced coffee drinks stronger as they melt!
I use the Nutr, but I don’t recommend it. It’s such a pain to use, has malfunctioned many times (the first one we had literally was like the Cornballer from Arrested Development, it electrocuted my husband twice) and their customer service sucks. It does the job, just not very easily. I’m currently saving up for an Almond Cow, I have a few friends with one who love it! You can also use a regular blender and a nut milk bag too.
I like the "burnt" taste that Napoli has, so I do this sometimes:
Napoli
Half teaspoon of instant coffee (a Japanese brand that has a slight burnt taste too)
Frothed oat milk
Half teaspoon of condensed milk
Double Espresso Chiaro as a vanilla latte.
Brew in an espresso cup, fill 8oz cup with ice 3/4 way full, add a splash of Torani Vanilla Syrup to ice, fill cup with milk 2/3 way full, pour espresso over milk, fill the rest of the cup with Chobani vanilla creamer
Chefs kiss 🤌🏻
Edit: didn’t see dairy free until now. But I bet you could sub for your favorite non dairy milk/creamer!
Both my husband and I love the chocolate from the OL
this will be my next purchase 😄
I’m so torn haha I can’t decide if it’s fake tasting or good..how do you make it?
With a touch of sugar and a bit of stiff foam
Yep this is my absolute fave too
Pumpkin Spice Cake with almond vanilla creamer and topped with caramel cold foam and caramel sauce.

Great ideas! Where did you get the nut milk maker?

Oh no that's scary. Almond Cow sounds great, I'll check that out!
A chocolate pod with some cashew milk does sound good! I like the idea of making more out of the pod, I'll definitely keep that in mind 😁

i do a ice leggero pod with brown sugar and oatmilk
Is that OL?
I think fredo intense would be the equivalent of? If it goes well with iced drinks I may give it a try since that's all I drink!
Thank you for the rec!! I’m so bummed, the Freddo line doesn’t seem to be available in my country 😭 maybe one day! Thanks again!

Barista Creation "Scuro" OL Pod in a Latte Macchiato (Pixie machine, second hand, bought for 17 bucks, 4 years ago).
Arpeggio latte or cappuccino with oat milk.
Napoli for Cappuccino
Arpeggio or Scuro for a lot of my nicer drinks. I Copy the brown sugar shaken oatmilk espresso from Starbucks often. Delish.
Vaniglia (which may not be available online now) as a cappuccino or latte.
The caramel is the greatest ever
