    healthiest. Can't give a brand recommendation. Even my DR recommends buying high altitude single source beans (hard to find). I haven't gone this far, but you can buy the beans green unroasted and home roast them. (wife thinks I'm going over the edge when I say I want a smoker for jerky AND a roaster to make my own coffee). Google mold free coffee beans and you can find some good sources.

    laughed when I saw this topic reemerge because I literally just made a double dose of butter coffee for breakfast, and posted it on facebook. The owner of my kickboxing studio then replied....

    Her: You better be working out tonight..... Butter coffee????

    Me: 1/2 stick of butter IN my coffee - it is the secret to my success.

    Her: I think I just puked in my mouth!!!!! GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

    I absolutely love it- been doing BP green tea or coffee for a week now. Got my bullet blender yesterday. I only use 1 tbsp of MCT oil right now as I am on a PSMF so limiting the fat but I love the taste and the solid, no crash energy is gives me since i fast 18/6. I don't do dairy because, as someone else mentioned, it triggers mad cravings- even ghee so I use pure MCT oil from NOW brand.

    Does anyone have any anecdotal evidence (even if it is only your own) of Coconut oil vs. MCT?

    I'm working my way toward "real" bulletproof coffee, so this morning I made it with coconut milk instead of oil and added some cinnamon. And the butter, of course. So good. I need a real blender, because my food processor doesn't pour well. I made a mess. But it was worth it.

    Right on - I will skip the MCT if I am out also. Haven't tried the cinnamon

    I like cinnamon in my coffee anyway. It's just good. As an added bonus, blending it solved the gritty, floating cinnamon problem.

    I've been putting coconut oil in my coffee for a few years now. Awesome stuff! Supposed to help with brain fog. ;)

    I never thought about adding butter, will do that next!

    I have been making it for the past week or so. However, I have only put 1T of unsalted butter in about 16oz of coffee.

    I finally found Kerrygold unsalted butter and I used only 1 tablespoon in about that amount of coffee as well. I thought that more would be pushing it for a woman my size. I'm using it for Intermittent Fasting.
