When people mobile order they just like pushing buttons. That’s my theory.

They probably wanted 1/2 of each. I do this with iced chais - oat & coconut milk to balance the flavor.

I have customer that gets 75% coconut milk and 25% half and half. It just tastes better to them.

I have one guy that comes in and gets a grande pike w/ 1/2 nonfat, 1/2 2%, 1/2 breve, 1/2 heavy cream, 1/2 almond milk. Like that’s not even coffee at that point

I do this for myself sometimes with almond and oat. Oat steams better but is too rich for my tastes by itself. Sometimes I do almond and coconut. it's only when I'm making myself a drink and can deal with my own hyper specific ass, lol. We do have a few customers who get half soy half coconut in a tea or americano (not steamed). Everyone's got a preference I guess, not that there are a bagillion options.

I have a customer who wants 1% milk but we don’t carry that, so she wants half 2% and half nonfat. That’s probably not what happened here but idk some people have taste preferences that are strange to me.

It's possible they wanted coconut and almond steamed together but there's no real way of knowing unless they show up while you're making it.

You did it the proper way as the sticker suggested though!

I used to do this to balance the flavor. Coconut milk can be too sweet for me sometimes. If you’re lactose intolerant, sometimes you have to mix & match different non-dairy milks to get the milk flavor you want.
(Note- I’m not lactose intolerance but my partner is)

when i do iced lattes i do mostly almondmilk then add a splash of oat bcuz i like how it tastes 🤷
i have a reg who does something like that bcuz of the flavor/less cals

maybe they just wanted half and half ,,, idk lol

They probably like the taste and consistency of it. That's what I do with oat milk and almond milk, kind of like a nondairy breve.

People trying to get lattes without paying for lattes

They probably drink it at home. Almond and coconut blends have been around for a couple years as a creamer. I think some brands are starting to sell them more as milk substitutes. I found it to have a more milk like texture and milder milk like taste, then they individually do.

I fully do this myself, for myself, because it has big ‘creating potions like a witch’ energy. Would never order this if I wasn’t on bar, bored.

They actually sell the coconut and almond milk combo at stores. I’ve had one man ask for this. Coconut milk and almond milk have similar consistency but different flavors so I guess it is a preference. I have yet to try it but I might give it a shot one day.

We have a customer who gets a hot chocolate - half almond half coconut milk. I asked her about it and at home she uses an almond coconut milk blend. So she’s used to that flavor and she said it tastes really nice because the almond milk cuts some of the creaminess and flavor of the coconut milk. Makes sense I guess. I’m also not one to yuck on someone else’s yum. So whatever 🤷🏼‍♀️

I used to work at coffee bean and we had an almond coconut milk option. We eventually separated it into the two individual milks but still got people wanting the combination. My best guess is people who might be trying the same over here?

Why not steam both?

I would have steamed both mills together cause that's what the ticket says

You really don’t understand?
