I don't like the flavor of silk brand either. I only bought it when "SO Delicious " was not available. I through out the Silk. I never much cared for milk to begin with, but the brand I mentioned does not taste like coconut to me ( just vanilla). I mostly use it on cereal but I sometimes drink it warmed up when coming off an IBS flare. It is somewhat creamy unlike the watery almond milk. You might try that brand if you can find it. It is usually refrigerated, but they also sell it in a non-refrigerated carton off the shelves. ( at least around here).
