Oatly has launched Oatly Baristamatic, a newly developed oat drink created specifically for automated coffee machines.

The drink is designed to help coffee machines operate more smoothly without compromising on the popular taste of Oatly’s best-selling Barista Edition.

It optimises machine performance by reducing the risk of sedimentation in milk containers, supporting overall machine flow.

The beverage has been developed using the original Oatly Barista recipe, delivering the same functionality but with a slightly higher fat content (3.2g vs 3g) to help support foam stability and a lower viscosity to allow better flow through automated machines.

Oalty Baristamatic is also fortified with vitamin D, B12, riboflavin and calcium. Like the rest of the brand’s range, it is soya-free and free from added sugars, sweeteners, emulsifiers, stabilisers, colours and artificial flavours.

Bryan Carroll, general manager at Oatly UK and Ireland, described Oatly Baristamatic as a “breakthrough” innovation that has been tested and approved by coffee machine manufacturers.

“It delivers all the versatility of the classic Barista Edition – hot or cold, smooth or frothed – while supporting coffee machine performance,” he continued, adding that the drink ensures a “smoother experience for both machine and human,” whether the coffee is made by a barista or poured from an automated machine at a service station.

Baristamatic is available now directly from Oatly or from major wholesalers in January 2026.
