BUTTER in the coffee??? Just get great coffee and drink it for what it is, why would you add butter, unnessesary fat, to a drink that is already great without adding anything. Make real espresso an leave the butter to the patissier, and not the barista!Scipiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832819134003737773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-56750334265827662592015-02-28T00:45:33.204-05:002015-02-28T00:45:33.204-05:00This looks both (sorry to say) disgusting AND intr...This looks both (sorry to say) disgusting AND intriguing. I am very tempted to try it tomorrow morning although years later I still get tremors whenever I remember a particularly bad experience with a cup of Tibetan butter tea...<br /><br />I am wondering 1) if you have yet tried it, Chef John and what's your opinion and 2) if Karen above in comments has lost any weight since June while drinking this concoction daily.<br /><br />Cheers!Lizbetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507767283706724245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-17440326714002694872015-01-22T11:05:24.540-05:002015-01-22T11:05:24.540-05:00^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I drink this every day. Like others who have commented I do a low carb/high fat diet plus I also fast from the moment I wake up until noon. <br /><br />But I do allow myself a cup of coffee blended with a tablespoon of organic non-refined coconut oil and a 1/4 cup of half and half and then either splenda or if I'm feeling particularly creative I might use some type of sugar free syrup. Right now I'm trying a sugar free tiramisu flavor...yum-a-roonie! <br /><br />The blend of the coconut oil and the half and half give me the energy I need to get through the morning plus keeps me full until lunch. Oh and I purchased a hand held frother to blend it all up so I don't have to wash a blender every morning. Hope you try it and let us know.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18196096131750922174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-8030388490244213732014-10-20T01:09:07.334-04:002014-10-20T01:09:07.334-04:00it's not bad, make sure your butter is unsalt...it's not bad, make sure your butter is unsalted lol. better yet use homemade i know they recommend the European butter. it does make the coffee creamy like a latte.

It definitely helps to blend it until it is frothy so the oil isn't floating on top.

I did not use butter because I don't have any and had to use my food processor since I don't have a blender and magic bullet is too small.<br />Maybe that's why it didn't work out.<br /><br />The coffee had a coconut taste and was fairly creamy. Flavor was not unpleasant. The oil sort of floated on top and stuck to my lips and mustache. That was kinda gross.<br /><br />If I had to cut dairy out of my diet I could probably handle this, but only if I could get a good emulsification.<br /><br />Oh yeah, the coffee stained my food processor so there's another negative.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769449181423562745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-26825568205873637212014-06-11T01:24:48.635-04:002014-06-11T01:24:48.635-04:00Native Forest Brand Organic Unsweetened Coconut &q...Native Forest Brand Organic Unsweetened Coconut "Cream" is better.

My diet consists of fats, proteins, and fiber (no carbs!) spread throughout 3 meals and carbs and proteins (no fats!) spread throughout a super high carbs and protein smoothie post-workout and meals 1 or 2 meals thereafter.<br /><br />I do the coconut oil coffee (always with 10g added whey protein isolate) in the morning for 3 reasons: the coconut oil and its MCTs stimulate the body into using fats for fuel, external and internal fats, 2)leucine to prevent catabolism of the muscle cells, and 3) coffee because of the "cholinomimetics" chemicals in the roasted beans that suppress hunger.<br /><br />Uhhh, most of this seems rather irrelevant to this blog---so i'll add something that is relevant: coconut oil and dark roasted coffee is really freaking tasty and the oil keeps my lips moisturized and smooth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052428378967918062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-78713821224086913262014-06-10T19:18:46.720-04:002014-06-10T19:18:46.720-04:00HI Chef John, I read you post about Bulletproof co...HI Chef John, I read you post about Bulletproof coffee, but I didn't comment then because I didn't have much to add...I've made it a couple of times but it was so-so.

If coconut oil is "healthy" I think there are lots of ways to introduce it into a diet without putting it in my coffee. This whole thing seems a little silly to me but that's probably due to my age.

Also don't just blend until smooth -- blend until it's frothy and has a latte-like consistency.

It seems that the Bulletproof guy may have got the coffee idea started here but he says his inspiration is Tibetan butter tea which is also delicious. Grass-fed butter that has a higher amount of fat soluble vitamins is the ticket and along with the medium-chain FA of the coconut oil really gives a boost. When I make this coffee I feel more energized and focused all day and I eat less overall. It is part of my way of keeping my weight under control. I have a Magic Bullet that makes this easy. A stick blender in a properly sized cup is the fastest (don't use the beaker from your stick, though. I found the hot liquid weakens and then cracks the plastic.) I think you should try it for a couple of weeks and let us know what you think. philogaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570156509307983353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-41577087875475542032014-06-09T09:27:37.209-04:002014-06-09T09:27:37.209-04:00No. Just...no.
