I've made it on occasion, but do not have it every day or even every week -- but that reminds me to order more MCT oil !!!0

Just only heard of this. Not sure I can justify the cost!0
-
I have tried it when running short on time in the mornings, but typically I prefer my coffee black and coupled with some bacon and eggs

I keep contemplating switching over, just waiting to make the final commitment. It's definitely superior to my cream but I'm lazy in the morning and I haven't developed an easy way to get full immersion yet. The fat ends up floating on top. It definitely tastes great and makes me feel bulletproof. Now that I think about it, that might be too much positive energy for my work environment!0

Yes, I usually have a Bulletproof coffee first thing in the morning on days that I'm working.0
-
I have one on mornings I don't have time for bacon/eggs and I always put coconul oil in my am coffee at work0

I've tried it, yeah. With pretty much everything, too - butter, coconut oil, olive oil, lard, eggs (okay. I experimented because I'm weird) - and I have to say: not too crazy about it.
I won't deny a small 9g pack of whipped grassfed butter in my black coffee is the ONLY thing I have ever found acceptable to compliment it, besides chocolate of course (I love bitter coffee; I never used nor ever will use sweetener or creamer. Ever), I'd prefer to eat whole food. On days where I don't eat a morning breakfast (ie. everyday) I'd rather just drink my coffee black than load it with butter.
I dunno. I've never got the boundless energy the coffee is meant to give, nor the satiation. Sure, it's tasty, but I'd rather save that butter for the evening to fry up some eggs, coat a sweet potato with cinnamon or add extra flavour to some steak of ground meat.
Each to their own, I guess.0 -
Ive done up a few - main problem is I eat breakfast at work - so I can't bring in a blender...and when I have done it at home the added step of a blender just means more things to clean. - I usually just add some coconut oil and a touch of cinnimon
I've tried just adding coconut oil to the coffee without blending it and that was a big mistake0 -
I've always preferred my coffee black - any fat I need I get from the accompanying eggs and bacon.0

Someone mentioned cost. Since changing to primal/paleo, the volume of food that I eat has decreased drastically. Even though I live in an isolated Arctic community and have to fly many things in (coconut oil, MCT, etc) I am SAVING money. Before my high fat primal plan I was spending $1200-1500 per month (one adult, one child) and now I am spending $700-1100. I'm not arguing that the MCT oil, etc isn't expensive, but it's interesting that while my food items cost more, I need less. Perhaps the high quality, high fat items give us more "bang for our buck"? Spend less, get healthier; I love it.0

Every morning! I'm convinced it keeps the hunger at bay.0

Since I commented on this earlier, I've been thinking about it and ended up making some with dinner -- used Kerrygold butter and Trader Joes Coconut OIl blended with an immersion blender, tasted great!0
-
Affirmative.
I do bulletproof coffee every morning (dark roast coffee + 1 pat of Kerrygold + 1 Tbl. coconut oil + a teensy-tiny sprinkle of stevia). I buzz it all in my NutriBullet. Eggs scrambled with fresh spinach come an hour or two later.0 -
So if I choose to try this, how long does it stay blended/emulsified? My habit is to make a cup of coffee and take it to work with me. It can be a good 1/2 hour to an hour before I finish it.0

I take one on the road everyday. It last me a good 30 mins. Blend it up!0 -
I love it but haven't done in a month. I can do with just butter if I'm out of met oil. You don't have to buy his beans by the way.0
-
I do every morning....with coffee from my Keurig....tbsp of virgin coco oil....2 Tbsp of coconut milk and 1/8 tsp of stevia....run through the blender and its like a Paleo latte....lol0

I've tried it on occasion, with coconut oil or Kerrygold Butter. I try to use only a small amount, maximum a tablespoon, but more usually a teaspoon. I can't drink black coffee and am still looking for an affordable brand to use. I tried the $18 a pound stuff from the Bulletproof Coffee website and it was pretty good, but it's too expensive for me to keep using.
If I'm going to have something in the morning to help me with IF, I need to look forward to it. I look forward to my skim latte at Starbucks, not BP coffee. I tried adding some sugar-free vanilla syrup from Starbucks, but it's still not what I'd call delicious.
Haven't given up yet, though,and am open to suggestions, especially for coffee.0 -

Add a little to your latte. MCT oil has no taste, Butter just a bit...0 -
No here, I don't drink coffee at all.0

I drink it every day! I don't use the bullet proof coffee, but use whatever keurig k-cups I have on hand (usually hazelnut) plus kerrygold unsalted butter and either MCT oil or coconut oil. I use the immersion blender and drink it on my way to work.0
-
Every morning. I use regular fair trade/organic beans that I grind at home, Kerrygold butter, Nutiva coconut oil. Sometimes a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa, cinnamon, splash of vanilla. Blend everything with an immersion blender--that's the trick for incorporating all the oil. It blends up nice and frothy and is just lovely!0

Ah, so bulletproof does not insinuate the Bulletproof Brand coffee but what you put in your coffee? a.k.a. butter, coconut oil, or MCT oil? I haven't tried any of those in my coffee. Been doing almond milk and used a bit of heavy cream this morning instead. Are the benefits of putting those things in your coffee just that you don’t really need breakfast and can stay full until lunch? I currently don’t feel like I need to eat breakfast until 10 or 11am after drinking a glass of water and a cup of coffee in the early morning.0

Yes. Every morning I work I have regular store bought coffee with a tbs each Kerrygold and Coconut Oil. I just started with the cinnamon and it is great. I also fix it at home in my Magic Bullet and take it to work0
-
I do this with tea most mornings. It's great!0

That's an idea. I do have a tea I like plain (Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice). I really love coffee, though.0 -

Maybe I'll try that. But I'm usually doing this for IF, so I need to keep the calories low. A latte with skim milk is 200 calories.0 -
My husband and I started making BP coffee over a week ago and both of us are hooked on it! We started with stevia, kerrygold butter and a high quality coconut oil while we waited for the MCT oil to arrive. We are on day 2 of having it with the stevia, butter and MCT. My oldest daughter (college age) started drinking it this week and while she isn't as crazy about the taste/texture as my husband and I, her energy and mental clarity has improved enough that she feels it's worth it. She isn't a morning person, so BP coffee has really helped her with those 8am classes she is taking.0

I usally drink my bulletproof on weekends only using 1 T extra virgin coconut oil, 1 T ghee and about 2 T coconut milk. I don't like my coffee black, but last week you had suggested trying it without the coconut milk and I did and loved it. You definitely need to blend it. I can't see how someone could put it in a togo coffee cup and make it last, I love mine so much I drink it down within 5 minutes. Will start trying to drink it daily every morning.0
