A field guide to chocolate milk

Everychocolatemilk,rated

Quality and taste are not the same question. We ask them separately, so a milk that is very sweet is never mistaken for a milk that is very good.

Three kinds of question

Most review sites average everything into one number, which quietly assumes everyone wants the same thing. We keep them apart.

Counts toward the score

Quality

Flavour, mouthfeel, aftertaste. Higher is better on all of them, and only these decide the score.

Never counts

Taste

Sweetness, thickness, creaminess, how milky or dark the cocoa reads. Descriptions, not judgements.

Never counts

Value

Price per ounce, ranked only against milks of a comparable size and storage. Nobody rates this by hand.

02

Highest rated

The plain average of what reviewers gave it — no weighting, no adjustment. A milk joins this list once 3 people have rated it, so one rave cannot crown it.

Not a great product, they should use their whole milk and darker chocolate for a better product

It says richer and creamier on the bottle and are they so right. Extremely thick, the roastiness of the dark chocolate comes through very strong, although the added sugars also run alongside it, sweetening the milk overall rather than it leaning in on the dark chocolate flavor in full
