The choice of butter or coconut oil would come down to personal taste to me with both being fat only. I've tried each and I've tried both together in a cup o'joe. My personal choice is coconut oil rather than butter but some mornings I just can't face all that fat in a cup of coffee and use HWC or forgive me purists, half and half.

I have other ways of maintaining my choice of very high fat intake and I'm not into intermittent fasting so Bullet Proof Coffee is an option versus requirement for me.

I think coconut oil has more MCT's in it which can boost ketones. If higher ketone levels is what you are going for, for theraputic reasons, I would use coconut oil.

I tend to use cconut oil (about 1/2 tsp) with HWC or butter (again not too much).

I personally use both ...1 tbsp. of coconut oil and 1 tbsp. of kerrygold unsalted butter with HWC and sugarfree vanilla sryup...

I'm trying to man up and just drink my coffee black - who needs an extra hundred (or two or three) calories everyday. If I have to have something in my coffee, I wait till my afternoon cup.

I like butter for taste in my coffee and coconut oil in my steel cut oatmeal. So both get some breakfast action!

I use 1/2 TB CO and some half and half because then my 100 calorie mug of coffee can fuel me for hours. Without the coconut oil I get jittery with coffee + no food. 60 calories of coconut oil? All is good.

It's not necessary to have fats added to your coffee...so only do it if you find it helps you reach your health goals.

I use both like many others.

I couldn't hack the butter at all and coconut oil was okay, but I felt it really interfered with my coffee flavor enjoyment, so I started using heavy cream only. That was until I read a post about using mascarpone and I found some at my local Sprouts last weekend. Now I'm hooked!~ If I want it extremely decadant like a latte I'll use mascarpone and heavy cream.

I've looked at mascarpone at the store often and wondered if I could really incorporate it...you have inspired me to give it a try!

I've used only HWC for a year and a half. Is satisfying to me. I've tried it with butter, but prefer the HWC. I have tried it with coconut oil which but my body doesn't tolerate it. After consuming it I'm near ready for a colonoscopy (no joke)!

It comes down to personal preference, just as everything else does.

That would be devastating for me! Does that include all coconut products or just the oil?

Also, for those using coconut oil in your coffee with little else (in terms of fat), do you prefer MCT or EVCO?

I use MCT but I also add other sources of fat, butter and HWC. I wonder how much of a difference it would make if I did EVCO.

@kpk54 I use I think it's called Zenwise MCT oil I purchased on Amazon. I never used any MCT oil before that but it really doesn't have a taste to me.
