Salted butter in bulletproof coffee

I know everyone says you should use unsalted butter in Keto Coffee / Bulletproof Coffee, but I've been using salted (Kerrygold) butter for the last 2-3 weeks & I absolutely love the taste. Today I tried it with unsalted butter for the first time & I am really NOT a big fan at all. I know the original creator of this coffee says "it's a crime" to use salted butter in this recipe, but I wonder if it's just because of his personal taste buds. I know places like Starbucks sell salted coffee drinks -so I really don't see a logical problem with using salted butter here either. Any thoughts??

    When you eat a very low carb diet, it can be tough to maintain your electrolytes anyway, so if you enjoy salty butter in your coffee, why not? I drink my coffee with double cream, but I tried the whole buttered coffee thing once and all I had in the fridge was salted butter, tasted fine to me too, not that I plan on doing it again.

    Shhhhh. I think I lose my LC card holder status by saying this but..... I think BPC is gross. If salted butter makes it better I might try it again.

    Plus if you add a little maple syrup with the salted butter it tastes like butterscotch! :)

    My "BPC" is salted butter and cream. I don't like unsalted butter in my coffee.

    I have done both. I think salted is fine. It certainly isn't hurting anything, and if you like the taste then who cares what others think?

    I salt my coffee everyday. I don't butter my coffee often but salt is every day. It enhances the flavour IMO.

    I'll try that! I had BPC for the first time this morning. Used unsalted butter, coconut oil and also added vanilla creme liquid stevia. I bet salted butter with caramel flavored stevia would taste really good

    Well, Dave Asprey is a piece of work himself. His last visit on the Joe Rogan podcast exposed some BS in his claims. Bullet-poof!

    Anyhow, just my .02, I call my sweet cream butter/mct oil coffee: Unbeatable Coffee. Hell, Dave just copied an age old recipe when he went to Tibet. They called it Butter Tea. I roast my own green beans from Burmancoffee.com. I used to buy from Sweet Maria's, but their beans are dirty and put off way too much caffe. Burman beans come out perfect.

    Here you go:

    Wow that's interesting. I've never even heard of mycotoxins & all that stuff before. Honestly, I never even heard of BPC up until a month ago when I started looking at YouTube videos about what people eat on a Ketogenic diet. Regardless, I'm glad this guy made this simple coffee recipe well known (or else I never would have drank this stuff), even if his "facts" are a bit off.

    I love salted butter in my coffee! Coffee, coconut oil, salted butter and eggs...that's my favorite mix!*

    *Which I guess is not really bulletproof coffee. Oh well. Tastes awesome and fills me up.

    Me too. Heavy cream---bring it. Butter--- is solid. And....yellow. :)

    I drink a morning cup of coffee with a tablespoon of coconut oil blended together. This is my interpretation of "bullit resistant coffee" or something. At work I just put heavy whipping cream in a cup mid afternoon. All the magic bullet(proof) claims seemed a little out there.

    Yesterday was my day off, and inspired by this thread, I tried some salted butter in my mid afternoon cup o' joe. I prefer the taste of the coconut oil, but conceptually it is the same thing - jolt of caffeine and 100(ish) calories of fat to keep the hungries at bay and provide a little energy boost.

    We can start a covert underground group of our own. I tried it once and was completely baffled at its popularity.

    Ditto with coconut oil in anything. I bought a giant tub of the stuff at Costco and now have a lifetime supply of cuticle oil and hair masque. At my age, probably a lifetime plus ten years; I'll have to dispose of it in a codicil to my will, perhaps to one of my younger cousins.

    I'll join the covert underground group of abstainers.

    I do like butter whipped up in a cup of salty broth for a tasty hit of sodium and fat.

    That sounds awesome. I am going to try that
