Bullet(proof) coffee is over a decade old already
I have tried this out because I got a bit obsessed with learning how to make every coffee drink during the pandemic. The way I did it was a double shot of espresso, a decently sized pat of good quality unsalted butter, and a little bit of hot water. The reasoning was that the butter would accentuate the naturally occurring oils of the espresso and lead to a richer crema on the resulting americano which was true. I thought it was actually pretty good that way, but I also love coffee in any form. It also wasn’t something I’d go out of my way to drink again. I also imagine this would do some bad things to your intestines if you drank this every day. If you want a delicious buttery coffee, a good quality whole fat milk is a much better option. As for health claims, I think it’s kind of insane that anyone says drinking literal butter could possibly be good for you, and even more insane that people believe it. It feels like an over-reaction to anti-fat propaganda from the sugar lobby where we went from “Maybe eating some fat in your diet isn’t a bad thing” to “YOU MUST EAT AS MUCH FAT AND OIL AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.”
I completely agree, but there’s an exception: weed butter.
I’ve done this and it tastes pretty good.
Adding butter to ramen is amazing
Okay but the last time I checked that wasn’t the type of coffee. 🫤
Just giving butter related tips
Lather yourself with it and sun bathe on your roof
I smell chicken….
Three words… Butter Coffee Enema
Don’t tempt me with a good time
Pro-tip: replace the water in your instant ramen with coffee to make it taste like shit.
My arthritis got fucked watching this video
I enjoy a buttery coffee on a blue moon. Not for health reasons. I just like it. What’s the arthritis risk though?
Edit: Google told me apparently some people’s arthritis is worsened by saturated fat. TDIL
Animal fat in general is a bad thing for clogged veins, this is also why fastfood and such moved to plant based oils
Because laxatives, that’s why.
It’s actually not bad, you’re basically replacing the creamer. Especially if you’re doing keto or have other dietary restrictions. Coconut or MCT oil can work as a non-dairy replacement and is a main ingredient in non-dairy creamers already.
Good coffee is important, and also only really works if you already like it black or light cream & sugar.
Anyone curious, try adding a pinch of salt to your regular coffee
Found the keto

This literally takes away one of coffee’s biggest flavor enhancers which is its slightly bitter taste. If you do this, you might as well be drinking fucking tea.

That’s not bitterness, that astringent. That’s a whole different thing. And generally it means you’re brewing your tea too long.
Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn’t a thing where I’m from.
Many people learn to drink coffee, because it is a social thing to drink. Often when you get guests over, the first thing you offer is a cup of coffee. The bitterness of coffee is an acquired taste though. Not everyone likes it, so they add sweeteners and creamers to hide it.
I used to do that as well, but it got increasingly annoying when places ran out of sugar or milk. So I just decided to learn to drink black coffee.
Now I’m a snob about my coffee and my beans.

I will never get countries who use creamer. They’re choosing the objectively worst way to have coffee
Maybe they like it that way

I remember the “bulletproof coffee” trend being grass fed butter, but I could be wrong. Either way I doubt there’s any health benefits other than it not being a starbucks milkshake.

Lmao, ghee AND mct.
If you need to add a pinch of salt, get better coffee
Or get better taste buds
Good beans, ground fresh, brewed well. A touch of real cream (not creamer), a spoonful of sugar, and a splash of something alcoholic 🤌
I think it’s more of a tip for people who don’t have a choice. Coffee isn’t exclusively consumed for the taste.
I don’t think they said they need to
Eh, most people burn their coffee or get shitty coffee. Salt helps enhance the coffee profile and decrease the bitterness that comes out when coffee is over brewed.
The number of people who don’t know how to properly make coffee drives me nuts.

Fucking lol.
They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.
I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?
The guy who downvoted this post probably adds butter to his coffee. lol
Because butter coffee is what one drinks on keto - bullet proof coffee
Cant provide any sources but, doesnt caffeine bind to fats similar to the way that thc binds to coffee?
Bruh wut?
There’s actually nothing wrong about this. Video is nonsense. Heavy creamers are basically the same thing not whipped yet.
And the non dairy little single serving things are flavored oil.

Reminds me of that olive oil coffee Starbucks was selling that caused people to shit their pants.
Bulletproof coffee works well to clean you out and if you are on the Keto diet it’s a decent pick.
I used to do this because it was supposedly better than sugary creamers. You’re supposed to use a little blender to whip it up though, then it actually tastes super good.
Adding some coarse salt to heavy cream and dropping in an immersion blender makes a whipped butter that goes well in the coffee and on toast
