Mieli

Mieli is a Switzerland-based brand reimagining plant-based dairy with millet, a naturally nutritious, climate-resilient grain. Located in Zürich, the company brings together traditional millet cultivation and Swiss precision to create plant milks for modern, conscious daily rituals. Its current offering includes Mieli Barista, a barista-focused milk designed to pour smoothly and complement the complex notes of specialty coffee.

The product is described as creamy and formulated to produce barista-grade foam, with a low glycemic index and naturally occurring nutrients. Mieli’s approach emphasizes both product performance and environmental responsibility. Millets can thrive in extreme heat, use significantly less water than rice or wheat, and support soil health and biodiversity.

The brand also highlights millet’s gluten-free qualities and essential minerals. Mieli works directly with smallholder farming communities in India and Switzerland, supporting climate adaptation and ethical sourcing. It shares its development journey publicly, from sourcing grains to refining formulations, and invites customers to follow its progress.

Mieli Barista is available for pre-order
