Same as the way I do it, just you paid £45 for the equipment and you still let it settle for 18-48 hours like I do.

Thought you meant you had found concentrate by the bottle for a moment.

Butter in coffee ?

Doesn't that sound a bit



Tell me again about the benefits of dissolving fats into an otherwise perfectly good cup of caffeine .

Is it good for your heart ?

Cold brew coffee is lovely...

The rest Im not sure, bit like Finnish people putting butter and salt on their porridge in a morning, seems rank to me, they love it.

Its a buttery flavoured coffee, no more rank than spreading half a tonne of butter on a piece of bread, adding more congealed fat in the form of cheese, then some more in the form of Mayo/Mustard.

I know several people that love that stuff...

No - and the whole bit about the mycotoxins in the regular run-of-the-mill coffee makes me just slightly cynical about the whole thing.

So people drink a cup of caffeine laden fluid, with some fat in it - and feel more energy. Excellent. Why it has to be made from coffee beans grown on top of a mountain, fed only by pure spring water, harvested at the full moon by glove-wearing virgins and then lovingly pressed within the hour, by some mystical means..... - hah!

Emperor's new clothes?

And no I haven't tried it, but I feel just fine with a normal cup of coffee with milk in for my morning drink. The thought of blending butter and coconut oil (extract) in makes me feel nauseous.

No.

I do fasted cardio in the morning but if I did need something a cup of coffee and a banana would be my choice.

Agreed, and agreed - fasted cardio, but more commonly these days throw a banana and strong coffee down my neck first.

This Bulletproof coffee stuff seems a made-up fad to me.

I think it's been overcomplicated.

You can buy into the toxin thing if you like (personally I haven't had time to look into it).

The benefits of unsalted, grass fed butter aren't exactly a secret. Ditto the coconut oil.

To be honest I'm only worried about how it helps my workout after work and the combination gives me a steady buzz for the duration and well after it.

Is this better or worse than no coffee or tea at all.

Went through a year of detoxing from caffeine, so now I allow myself one def per week.

I go to the gym 3/4 nights a week and run everyday.

Not quite sure what the fuss is - its a yummy coffee (if you dont like the taste...dont drink it!) and gives you a kick and keeps hunger off till lunch.

What's not to like (if you like it)

I just tried to make this, tasted good but when I blend it up (using cold coffee), the butter and coconut oil seem to congeal and form a foam that sticks to everything - so end up having to spoon it out of the blender.

It tasted pretty good though.

Might have to make it hot in the morning which I'm sure will help the butter and coconut to mix with the water better.
