Coffee with Coconut Oil?

I've had it, but prefer it with butter. However, it's not something that I really want to put my calories towards - I'd rather eat them than drink them. I am happy with my coffee black, so I usually drink it that way. I didn't notice any extra zippy energy.0

I love to try new things. Do you add creamer too or is it just a black coffee + Coconut oil?

Butter tastes better, IMO, but that's obviously a personal preference thing.
There's no magic here - you're just adding a whack of fat to your morning beverage. IIFYM and makes you happy, go for it. Will it cast a Harry Potter spell and accelerate weight loss? No....0 -
It tastes just like the girl scout cookies! Actually Hazelnut is one of my least favorite of their flavors. I like the Sweet Cream, and then some of the seasonal ones like Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha.

OHH!!! My!!! G!!!!!
Pumpkin spice was like BOOM!!! I don't see it anymore on the shelf though.
I agree Hazelnut taste doesn't beat Girls Scouts.
Sorry OP I didn't mean to hijack your thread.0 -

I use heavy whipping cream, coconut oil, stevia and Torani syrup. I'm also keto, so my goal is high fat at every meal. Some people don't like it unless they throw it in the blender or use a stick blender on it to whip in the oil. I don't use all that much of it, so I don't mind if it's not perfectly blended. It's also a thing to use coconut oil and butter (or both and cream on top of that). Not into the butter thing myself. If you're going to buy some oil to try it, virgin tastes and smells like coconut, refined has no taste or smell, and the only real difference is preference. If you want to use the oil to cook with, too, you may want to go refined.0 -

Awesome.... The only problem is since you mentioned about blender I can only drink this on weekends or maybe I'll give a shot with office coffee.
I cook in Coconut oil so I do have access to Extra Virgin cold Pressed Coconut oil. But I never tried it in coffee without knowing the right way to do it.
But thanks for the information. Truly Appreciated.
Like I said I'm always game on trying new things.0 -
my housemate puts a little bit of coconut oil, little bit of butter and a little bit of creamer in the magic bullet every morning, then adds his coffee after. It looks like a latte when he's done. I've tried it once and it was delicious, but i don't have the patience to do it every day.0

Do you blend the oil and coffee to emulsify it like 'they' say you are supposed to? The would probably be the extra time that people are talking about.
For real. It no more work that adding regular creamer/milk/heavy cream/sugar/etc... Takes 3.5seconds

No. I just stir it in. It melts just fine and incorporates.

Is there some reason you think you know better than all the doctors and the RD involved in this? Keto is low carb and high fat for a reason. Low carb and low fat are a good way to get sick, for anyone. The point of the high fat is to fill in the rest of your caloric needs so you don't starve to death (not to be confused with "starvation mode")0 -
Here's an actual paper referring to low-fat keto.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and metabolic impact of a high-protein,low-carbohydrate, low-fat ketogenic diet...Daily intake consisted of 650 to 725 calories, which was substantively in the form of protein (80-100 g). The diet was very low in carbohydrates (25 g) and fat (25 g).

Keto does not require high fat.
