    Don't. Many of them clump in hot liquid. Looks like curdled milk.

    If you mix them with water or milk first, then add the coffee, it doesn't curdle.

    Mine still did but it took a few minutes..maybe it depends on the brand

    Hate to burst bubbles, but I am a student of nutrition and have recently learned that the tannins (hydrolysable tannin polyphenols) in coffee (and tea) inhibit absorption of iron and other nutrients. So I don't drink coffee at mealtimes anymore and I wait to take any kind of supplement until the coffee is out of my system.

    Not to any significant degree. You're not going to become nutrient deficient by having a cup of coffee as long as your diet consists of adequate amounts of those nutrients.

    I do this sometimes but with the premixed shakes, like Premier Protein.
