Enjoying the Barista's Art in Crafting Lactose-Free Milk Coffee with MilkLife

Kapanlagi.com - International Barista Day falls on March 1st. To celebrate this special event, MilkLife collaborates with Starbucks Indonesia to present a special event, the Starbucks Barista Championship 2025, as a tribute to the baristas. This collaboration has also given birth to a lactose-free milk coffee menu variant.

During the event, Starbucks baristas enthusiastically showcased their skills in crafting various milk coffee variants, one of which features MilkLife Lactose Free. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of the best milk coffee menus, including Hot & Iced Latte MilkLife Lactose Free, Hot & Iced Caramel Macchiato MilkLife Lactose Free, and Hot & Iced Vanilla Latte MilkLife Lactose Free.

MilkLife, as a high-quality milk produced by local farmers, collaborates to create goodness in the coffee enjoyment experience. One of the offerings is MilkLife Lactose Free, the first lactose-free milk in Indonesia.

1. MilkLife Does Not Contain Lactose

As its name suggests, MilkLife Lactose Free does not contain lactose, making it safer for those who are lactose intolerant, which can trigger nausea, bloating, or stomach pain after consuming milk containing lactose.

The presence of MilkLife Lactose Free offers an alternative for coffee lovers who want to enjoy various favorite drink creations without worrying about digestive issues. With a complete nutritional content, and a creamy texture similar to regular cow's milk, the advantage of MilkLife Lactose Free also lies in its natural sweetness without added sugar, due to the process of breaking down lactose into simpler sugars, namely glucose and galactose.

We are here to celebrate the expertise of baristas through the coffee competition, and I am very proud to say that Savoria and MilkLife support this event," said Ihsan.
