The Only Way I Drink Coffee…

That’s how I take my coffee, too. People give you the strangest looks when you tell them you put butter in your coffee. But it tastes SOO good! Can’t imagine going back now.

I put coconut oil, two tbsp of chia seeds, one tbsp
of unflavored beef gelatin, and a little of my home made coconut milk, and some raw honey. Yum! Gets me my energy fix in the morning for WODS!

I make home made hazelnut creamer, basically hazelnut milk without diluting it with water. It is *amazing* in coffee. Sadly butter is not on menu here since my boys are very allergic dairy.

P.S. What’s the butter for, anyway?  Taste or nutrition or texture?

What are your views on coffee while pregnant? I’d like to try this, but I’m about 10 weeks and there is a lot of conflicting info on coffee while pregnant. I’m assuming one cup/day is fine?

Nutrition… grassfed butter is packed with Vitamin K and other fat soluble vitamins and it improves the texture too…

I always followed the 1 cup max rule…

I use canned coconut milk in my coffee – love it

I’ve tried it a couple of times now with the butter I had in my fridge and in both matcha and coffee. The souredness doesn’t actually put me of but i think I’ll get some unsalted butter to use instead! I’m adding both sweetener and vanilla, which I normally don’t do, and that may counteract for the souredness i think?

Thanks for this idea! I would never had thought of it but have been thinking about how I could lessen my use of cream lately. (leadint up to actually forgoing dairy…. oi, the horror;))

Also I don’t really like the taste of coconut but like this I can get more coconut oil in without trouble and might even come to enjoy it. Double yay!

Coffee’s a rare treat for me nowadays.  A nice cup of hot tea does the trick for me!  I will definitely give this a try.

I love this one: http://wellnessmama.com/go/tropical-traditions/

This is money!

Hot or warm

Do you think coconut sugar is better than stevia to put in your coffee or tea in the morning? Ty

My daughter and I have coffee every weekday morn, with organic full cream.  We have been wanting to try our coffee “your way” but didn’t have the unsalted grassfed butter-only salted.  Anyway, as necessity would have it (I was out of our cream) we did your coffee with regular unsalted butter- WOW so impressed…..I must always have cream in my coffee (I thought until NOW), but today ran out of the rich cream that I love,  and I did not miss it! Coffee done Mama’s way was GREAT!   Now I know what you were talking about, so rich, so creamy, (not in a thick weird way) it was absolutely delish!   Thank you!

I made this with my breakfast this morning.  I was a bit skeptical about the butter (I had used coconut oil before though, and liked it so that wasn’t an issue), but after blending it up it tasted like a yummy, frothy cappucino!  I think tomorrow I am going to put a little cinnamon on top!

Is there a reason why you don’t add the MCT oil?  Is coconut oil giving you the same medium chain triglycerides as the oil?  Thanks for any advice.  

I wonder if this would be good substituting raw fresh cream instead of the butter? Thankfully, my Mom has unsalted organic butter due to a mixed up order via an almost-local creamery! I suppose I can try my coffee both ways. 

i finally tried this — it’s good! i use cinnamon instead of vanilla. i’m really glad you posted this recipe, because i cannot *stand* taking coconut oil. i don’t like the taste at all, and have been struggling to find ways to successfully incorporate it. and this works! i can get in a full two tablespoons (probably more)!

All I gotta say is….I am absolutely and completely addicted to drinking coffee this way. I never thought anything would replace my straight, black coffee, but this blend is AMAZING!!!!!!

Our dairy in Canada isn’t the same as in the U.S. Our farmers are regulated to not use hormones or antibiotics on their animals. I tried this recipe with a coconut butter/ghee product and it worked great. I do like cream in my coffee. Can I add it?

I remembered your post about this and I put half a teaspoon of coconut oil in my coffee. I didnt remember what amount you said to start with. I guess I’ll see how it goes. The coffee loooked a little oily but didnt feel that way when I drank it. It was smooth.

I love this!

I call this turbo coffee. Sometimes I add cocoa powder to it, sometimes I add cinnamon, nutmeg and a dollop of pumpkin to it (I don’t want to be left out of the fall frenzy for pumpkin spice lattes)

I am 32 weeks along and don’t plan on drinking coffee until I am finished breastfeeding, which will be quite a while from now. I am bookmarking this but I did purchase some Bulletproof for a friend and now she is hooked! So thank you for sharing, from both of us!

My Bulletproof coffe arrived today! I just got home and tried this recipe. O M G….this is the best coffee I have ever had!!!! Doesn’t need sweetening at all. Thank you SO much for the recipe.

I am drinking this now and it is DELICIOUS! I used the Magic Bullet because that is all I have by way of blenders. This tastes just like a richer, frothier, creamier version of what I usually drink: french pressed coffee with a little bit of cream. I am obsessed with all things coconut oil, so I am happy to add this to my list of “uses”! Thank you for this recipe!

You can just drop a scoop of hardened coconut oil into the blender with it… Mine is hard now that it is cold so I just use a knife to break off a chunk and add it…

Thanks so much for the email Maybe try the FCLO capsules first when you think you can handle them…

Yep!

What is FCLO capsules? And where do you get them. I haven’t tried the butter in my coffee yet, but will before too long. I want to get an immersion blender first. I have one, but it is strictly for my soap making. I am in the process of going green and natural (organic to a degree). We plant a garden in Spring and can the produce. The only preservative we put in there is uniodionized salt. And sometimes I forget the salt. =)

So, I’ve very much interested in this idea of unfermented coffee, and I’ve read through the Bulletproof website, and I realize this is the only coffee you use, but how do you KNOW that what is being said is in fact true??

“It is carefully produced and tested with new and old methods to target the lowest toxin content vs. normal coffee, so you get all the benefits of coffee without the negative health effects.

The beans are harvested from a single family-owned estate in Guatemala located 1250 meters above sea level, high enough to produce great coffee.

The estate is Passive Organic and the family that owns it does not allow chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, etc.) It is not economical for Central American boutique coffee estates to become certified organic.

They are hand picked by experienced coffee harvesters – skilled people who know how to pick only perfectly ripe berries.

Most coffee beans are processed by either leaving them in the sun and elements to wither and dry, or by pressing them and letting them ferment (spoil) to remove the outer layer of the bean. Both of these techniques are known to produce significant levels of mycotoxins as they enhance flavor. Upgraded Coffee beans are mechanically processed right after picking using only clean cold water. This more expensive process is safer because it dramatically reduces harmful molds or bacteria from impacting your health.

The beans are roasted in small batches by the #1 ranked roaster in United States under the strictest conditions. Roasting the beans enhances their antioxidant capacity and flavor to provide you with a healthier, tastier cup of coffee.”

wow! what an interesting take on making coffee. I am intrigued and totally going to try this!!!

First you can make homemade unsalted organic butter in a kitchen aid mixer!!! Love it. Second, I love coffee but had to switch over to half chicory root and half coffee because coffee kills me lol. But found I love the chicory root taste lol

Do you have a recipe for homemade unsalted organic butter? Please share!

Wouldn’t the coffee interfere with the nutrient absorption of the cod liver oil? I’ve heard before that supplements shouldn’t be taken with coffee, to wait maybe an hour afterwards. But I haven’t really been able to find any conclusive evidence..

For breakfast, as i dont like coffee and am training, i have a shake in the morning. I use a scoop of bulletproof choc powder, 1/14 of a brick of butter, a pinch of upgraded vanilla and a big teaspoon of coconut oil, into 200 ml of boiling water. When its all melted i shake the hell out of it so its frothy, then add 400 of cold water so its cold, yep, thats right, its cold!! I need it to be as then i add a big scoop of protein powder for my training and that with the help of 50 g of mixed nuts and seeds keeps me going for 5 hours. Its really good!!!

I like to make this using a nice strong brew of mate tea. I also like to add a little raw goat milk and a little honey instead of stevia. Delicious.

Yes, and preferably one where you personally know the source/farm

Love your blog, posts…thank you. I’ve yet to try the BulletProof coffee your way, love the taste of coconut oil, and grass feed butter. But I was wondering what is your intake on the coffee and adult acne connection. If I will mix grass feed butter and coconut oil just like you suggest, you think i will be less breaking out..? I try to eat minimal dairy, since I’ve noticed hormonal adult acne connection and dairy (even raw dairy) . Also, what do you think about GanoCoffee, with medicinal mushrooms. I have tried it for a while, and liked it, but i am not sure how much research they’ve done, and if its not just another lie. It doesn’t taste like mushrooms at all, pretty smooth, low acidic, don’t get jittery after, plenty of energy. One small issue I’ve experienced it that i did broke out on my face a little, after even switching to organic Native Forest coconut milk. So, that’s my dilemma, i like the smell, taste of coffee..but perhaps my adrelans not so much, perhaps that where the acne issue comes from ? Your input highly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you, love it–I do a heaping spoonful of coconut oil, a small spoonful of unsalted organic butter, and a spoonful of local raw honey (helps appease my sugar addiction and I’m hopeful will help with seasonal allergies as well). With decaf coffee–regular makes me crazy irritable. Blend in the vitamix, then top with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Think I’ll go have another!

Sweet leaf is actually a decent store bought brand if you’d prefer to buy one, or you can make the tincture…

This is how I like my coffee. You’re right–it will ruin other coffee for you!!

Yep

Oh it was the Chia seeds/powder that landed me here! :~). Oh and what about the GrassFed Whipped Sweet Cream butter from Tropical Traditions, they didn’t have the sticks when I placed my order, any thoughts??
