It's good. I do coconut oil and butter. The trick is to really blend the bejeebers out of it. It gets lucious and creamy. mmmmm0

I haven't tried it yet0

I use just butter, the combo was too much for me. I use grass fed butter, 2-2.5 tbsp. per coffee. I also use a little sweet leaf sweetener and blend just a few seconds for me works great. The fats make a nice frothy foam on top, like the fats from milks used in lattes. It tastes rich, scrumptious. Try it! Its a great way to get loads of fat in the morning, or whenever, to help those ratios we need. I was nervous to try it as well, but now I want every cup of coffee like this!!!!!! LOL!0

Lmao on having to use his special coffee beans and his special oil.
The good people of Tibet, Nepal and India have been drinking yak butter tea for centuries.
Bulletproof Coffee is an adaptation of yak butter tea.
Obviously access to yak butter is scarce in California but I have been making my own butter and making butter tea since the early 90's. (. Switched from coffee after my friend from Nepal turned me on to it )0 -

Very interesting. I didn't knew about this stuff, I might a take look at it.0 -
@Camo- You make your own butter??? Do you have a cow (or a yak)? You've piqued my curiosity.0

I wish I had access to a yak ( just to be different )
Technically I have a cow. I use raw milk and since the sale of raw milk to the public is prohibited the solution is to buy a share in a cow at a co-op dairy. ( it's cheap ) You don't need raw milk. I just do it because there is a dairy close by and it is fun to go to the farm and get my glass bottles of milk.
You can use any cream or heavy whipping cream. I do think grass feed is best.
I make butter and cheese just because it is fun to do and I enjoy it. Plus it's delicious.
( you can make all kinds of butter, Bacon flavored for the win !!!! LoL )

Way off topic and maybe I should start a separate cheese thread but here is a fun mozzarella cheese video you can make while camping !!!!

Plenty of other mozzarella vids on you tube but this one shows just how simple it is.0 -
Ooo, bacon butter. What could be better!!0

Bacon butter melted on top of my steak....that would be better.0 -
my daughter enjoys butter tea also. I have made my own butter, and love doing it....its so so easy. Hardest part is getting out all the water after the rinse cycle. I will definitely check out the cheese. I just got some rennet...I just don't have time right now, being home only on weekends.0

I made bullet proof coffee not too long ago because I had ran out of my traditional heavy whipping cream. It was delicious, but I don't make it a regular habit because it's too loud to run the blender when I get up at 4am. I've heard though that it should be used to replace a meal but I didn't do that--still ate breakfast because I was hungry!0

do you just blend the butter in as well?0 -

I use a milk frother I got from Amazon....looks like this:
It's quiet & the only issue I had at first was not causing a whirlpool & whipping the coffee OUT of the cup and alllllll over the counter. Admittedly, DH still hasn't gotten the hang of it & prefers to use the magic bullet instead.
Even with the milk frother, you have to whip the hell out of it & if you're a coffee sipper like I am, you may need to hit it again.
It's battery operated & sits on me counter

I drink coconut oil in my coffee. Butter is YUCK in coffee, IMO. Tried that and ummmm no. But I do put butter in broth along with cream and that is yummy. Weirdly enough. Apparently I can be weirder...
I prefer to call it Kevlar coffee, as Bulletproof Coffee is a brand name and I just have to be ornery like that.
One day, I'm getting a milk goat. I really don't feel like fooling with a cow. Those turds bust down fences too much.0 -

It's a regular morning staple for me.I use a milk frother I got from Amazon....looks like this:
If you have an IKEA near you, they make a clone of that called "PRODUKT" which is only like three bucks. I use it at work where there's no blender.0 -

We've been seriously considering a Dexter cow and a few pigs.0 -

More Pigs... More baaaaacon!0 -
I tried this at the weekend. Must say I was very dubious and the thought of all that fat made me feel queasy BUT I did try it and I was very surprised how nice it was. Only problem was it gave me acid reflux all day so anything I ate or drank was painful! Oh well maybe try it again but with less fat next time. Anyone else experienced this?0

Love my BPC!0
-
Over the past few weeks I've started eating LCHF and trying to get into a Keto lifestyle. Part of that has been drinking my hybrid BPC each morning. I add coconut oil, butter and/or heavy cream. Two cups in the morning gives me about 300- 450 calories, replaces breakfast and helps me stay full until lunch time. I believe it also helps me curb my carb/sugar cravings, which has helped me better manage my calorie intake.
I love it, but I did start out with just a little butter and oil and was lucky enough to find out from go that it has to be really, really well blended...and best drunk while still hot!0 -
I have to warn others after the mistakes I've made attempting to make BPC:
Be careful if trying to use a Bullet type blender. After adding the coffee and coconut oil and butter I screwed on the bottom and about the time I turned it over to set it in the base, pressure blew the bottom off and coffee, etc. went everywhere. What a mess, down the cabinet doors, front and back and even into a drawer but I cleaned it all up. I was sure I knew what I had done wrong and tried again. This time I was able to start the blending before the bottom popped off and another mess was made... Skip it today.
That was yesterday. Today I got out our traditional blender and put in the butter, spooned in some coconut oil and added 24 oz. of coffee for 2 cups at once. I put the top on and held it tight and started out on low speed. To my surprise it bucked and jumped and pretty much exploded and coffee went everywhere yet again. I discovered I had left the spoon in to rinse off all the coconut oil and it had blown out the side of the glass container. Skip it again today.
It's great coffee and really gives me a boost. Just learn from my mistakes and be careful...
We're going to buy a new blender Wednesday evening so Thursday I'm hopeful I'll get to actually DRINK some BPC. 0 -

OH GOODNESS! Thanks for sharing, will definitely try to avoid these messes!!0 -

that's a good idea to replace breakfast, because i usually never have time in the morning and end up grabbing turkey slices & cheese.0 -
My boyfriend makes me a black coffee with the pod machine every morning (yes, he's a legend). After I get out of the shower I dump it into a glass jug, add 15g butter and 15g coconut oil. Blend it with a stick blender (one of these things http://www.target.com.au//p/stick-blender-tarhb4-s/P55000727?utm_term=P55000727&utm_content=stick-blender-tarhb4-s&utm_source=google&utm_medium=merchant-site&utm_campaign=merchant-site&kpid=55000727&gclid=CPaw65CdjcECFZMrvQodH34AUA). I take this with me in a take away cup, and I don't get hungry til lunch time.
Do NOT blend it in a "sealed" type blender, the heat of the coffee will make it explode everywhere and you could get badly burned.0
