I always make 16 oz. I add about 1 TBS of butter and a TBS of MTC oil. I don't think this is the right recipe, but I made it like this the first time and liked it so that's just how I do it now.

I am sure you can cut what you have in half and it be just as beneficial. I can't imagine drinking 32 oz at one time.

I do 8oz of coffee to 1 Tbs of butter and 1Tbs coconut oil.

I would double for 16oz 2 Tbs of butter and 2Tbs coconut oil.

Possibly the confusion might be that coffee cups traditionally measure 5 or 6 oz. So maybe the recipe didn't mean 4 cups as in 32 oz, but 4 coffee cups as in @20 oz? Anyway, I do as some of the others stated, 16 oz of coffee to a TBSP of Kerrygold unsalted butter and a TBSP of coconut oil.

...And do you guys actually buy the "Upgraded Coffee" from the Bulletproof website? It sounds pretty awesome... but I am afraid to get hooked on it, at that price -- yikes!

I do 8 oz of coffee(espresso concentration decaf) and 1/3 cup of full fat coconut cream. I add 1/2 tbsp of butter sometimes but not often.

i use whatever random kcup i grab, and my brewers biggest setting, about the size of a standard mug. and I put 1tbspof coconut oil.

I am so doing this tomorrow morning instead of my normal breakfast! I'll be using Maui coffee, Nanak ghee and organic coconut oil. Should be interesting! And I am a bit shi shi foo foo when it comes to coffee so I'm just might bite the Bulletproof coffee temptation!

I think I need either less ghee or more coffee, or maybe I'll try unsalted butter instead but it was kind of "meh"

I use Cameron's Organic French Roast Whole Bean Coffee, and my Kuerig's biggest setting, about the size of a standard mug and I put 1TBS of MCT oil and 1TBS of unsalted Kerrygold butter. I thought it would keep me feeling full but no luck, I was hungry within an hour. So today, I put 1TBS of MCT oil and TWO TBS of unsalted Kerrygold butter and it seems to have done the trick - I'm going on 2 hours and feel pretty full BUT I've drank almost 40 oz of water also, so it could be that...

When I made it I used 16 ounces. I also used only a teaspoon or two of coconut oil or grassfed butter. I'm a small woman and the standard recipe called for too many calories.

what is this bulletproof coffee????? I am out of the loop!!!

Coffee with a small amount of healthy fat mixed into it. Some people add MCT. Energy and satiety without an insulin response. Google the term and you'll find a website. I ordered the site owner's toxin-free coffee. It was good, but too expensive for me to continue using.

As you can see, people are adding much more than a "small amount" of healthy fat. I am no longer counting calories on Paleo/Primal, but the way I understand it -- this fat is going to be used as fuel, NOT stored. The idea is to load up on these healthy fats with your coffee first thing in the morning, and enjoy being more satisfied the rest of the day.

jenna, check out the bulleproof exec website that comes up when you search... it is really interesting, and seems to be quite the "new thing".

I've been having it twice a day for about a week now, just using the coconut oil, ghee, and organic coffee I already had here. I don't get shaky from my coffee at all anymore... which is great. I think the major increase in fat has really helped my moods, too. Can't say much for energy at this point, as we have all been sick with a virus for a few days, which feels like an eternity. I am at that point where I don't even remember what it feels like to feel good.

It's relative. I don't believe there's a canonical recipe. A guy came up with it after hiking in Tibet or somewhere after being given a drink with yak milk. If I added the amounts of fat usually recommended I wouldn't have room for much else .

I'm also not convinced that eating that much fat is healthy. I tend to exercise prudence.

I've not heard of this and have been using a good dollop of heavy cream each morning. Since cream is considered a fat in Primal- isn't this sort of the same thing? I find that the cram tames the bitterness of the coffee and also fills me up and gives me energy from the fat. Curious about the butter/coconut blend though... can anyone explain the benefits of this rather than cream? Thanks!
