    Keto coffee a version of the bullet proof coffee? If so did not know it had a name :)

    I drink 2 shots of espresso, half cup of hot water, 2 tbls of unsalted butter, 1 tbls coconut oil and 1 packet of Stevia.

    I tried it once, liked it, but it's not worth the calories for me. I would rather have a candy bar for the same caloric price if I have calories to spare, and it's more filling too.

    Love it! Really brings out the flavour of the coffee and it helps me boost the fat in my diet. I always drank my coffee w/o any flavouring, so I leave out the cinnamon and stevia.

    First of all, if you're going to do it, do it right. Get rid of the cream, the stevia and the cinnamon.

    The whole point of this is to extend the body's natural state of ketosis through the morning hours until your midday meal. Whatever carbs you ate yesterday are burned overnight, so you are in ketosis normally when you awake. Feeding on fat first thing will extend that fat-burning period.

    The Bulletproof method is to use 'clean' coffee beans, to eliminate the mold that's found in most coffee beans, because it messes with your mental clarity, supposedly. OK, if you're not willing to spend the extra money to buy clean coffee, I get that. But the idea is to use coffee, MCT oil (not just ANY coconut oil), and grassfed butter. The MCT oil is refined coconut oil that has more Medium Chain Triglycerides. Bulletproof Executive sells their own clean coffee beans and an MCT oil called Brain Octane; you can find several other similar MCT oils out there for less.

    When I have used this, I brew 16 oz. of GOOD organic coffee, and add 2 Tbsp. of MCT oil and 2 Tbsp. of butter, and emulsify it in a blender. I never use sweetener because I find that it messes with my sense of sweet and induces cravings; the coconut is sweet enough. It adds up to around 480 calories, which is a meal for me. I only use this occasionally because I prefer to eat breakfast rather than drink it. It's really good for road trips, though...

    And to answer your question directly, yes...I love it!

    If I had the time (maybe later) I would link the article that says MCT Oil is no better than plain old unrefined coconut oil, and there are less than 1 gram of carbs in a Tbsp of heavy cream and lots of fat so it's perfectly fine for Keto. The OP never said "Bulletproof" coffee, they said "Keto" coffee.

    I tried it once. Hated it. My mouth felt like it was coated with oil and fat for at least an hour after.

    I definitely prefer eating fat over drinking it.

    I like that, but not all at once. Too many calories. I use stevia, cinnamon and then I rotate through coconut oil, coconut cream and whipping cream.

    I tried it and I didn't like how it tasted and didn't feel all that full. I just like plain coffee black better

    This stuff is awesome. Gives me great energy! I take it as a before workout drink with 5 grams creatine monohydrate. Works and taste great!

    Not only that, but there's no way I'm wasting that many calories on a cup of greasy coffee. I could eat a full breakfast on that many calories.
