Automation is becoming increasingly embedded in the modern café service, yet most plant-based milks are still not built to perform in automated systems. Happy happy! has revealed a 5L Bag-in-Box version of its popular Oat Oat Oat, a format designed to support high-volume workflows, reduce downtime, and deliver consistent barista performance at scale, while maintaining premium taste and texture
With plant-based drinks now approaching half of all beverages sold in some venues, cafés often rely on systems that deliver speed and consistency during peak service. Dairy adapted to these systems years ago with large-format solutions designed around automation. Automation has advanced beyond the design brief of most plant-based milks, leading to sediment buildup and blocked filters, meaning inconsistencies and, worse still, operational failure and service interruptions.
Oat Oat Oat 5L Bag-in-Box brings the same operational advantages to plant-based milk, combining efficiency with premium taste and barista-quality performance.
Cafés today operate faster and with leaner teams, making efficiency more important than ever. Every disruption slows service and affects workflow and customer experience. The challenge is clear: high-volume cafés need a plant-based milk that performs like a team member, meeting the speed and precision of modern service without compromising flavour or barista craft.
Bringing the proven operational benefits of large-format dairy to plant-based milk, including fewer refills, smoother workflow, reduced cardboard waste, better storage efficiency, and lifted margins, Oat Oat Oat 5L Bag-in-Box delivers performance cafés can rely on.
This new line of Bag-In-Box is still Happy happy!’s signature low-sediment formulation, shared across 1L and 5L formats. Running cleanly through automated milk systems with minimal clogging or slowdown, a crucial requirement for today’s hybrid manual-and-automated cafés, it produces reliable microfoam, a smooth and stable texture, and consistent latte-art performance whether poured by a barista or dispensed at volume during the morning rush.
This reflects Happy happy!’s independent, barista-led philosophy and the same principles that made SoyBoy a global café favourite: clean taste, reliability, and performance.
“Cafés tell us they want plant-based drinks that behave like dairy but taste clean and simple. The 5L format delivers that while helping shops stay ahead of demand,” says Happy happy! Founder, Lloyd Smith.
For cafés looking to streamline workflow, increase efficiency, and expand plant-based service without compromise, Oat Oat Oat 5L Bag-in-Box is a practical, future-ready solution. It is available through The Estate Dairy, Mr Lemonade, and Allan Reeder.
