    Now I would never thought of putting butter in my coffee, but it kind of makes sense - organic, pure butter is a good fat, nice and creamy. And mixed with a little coconut oil as well, what a better way your start your day? Sounds pretty healthy to me. I can't wait to try it...

    ....and besides it sounds terribly decadent...
    Iʻve tried it and can say that it IS good with butter, coconut oil or both. Go for it! A lot of people like the Irish Kerrygold, but I found a German butter from pasture raised cows that is delish

    I tried going black, but it's not for me. Need a little milk to change the pms colour (graphic designers will 'get me' on that).

    Got me a very cute Nespresso machine. They have the most divine coffee pods, all types of 'crus'. I only have one cup a day, a short one, but strong. And that is enough for me. It makes my day.

    I only like mine at around 12 midday, for brekky I have my green smoothy. But by midday I'm ready for a booster shot.

    Is the butter claimed to provide some sort of health benefit?

    I don't mind putting this place on here , the smell when they're roasting the beans is amazing . The shop was established 1837 and has been pumping out the smell of heaven ever since . You want to know about coffee this is the place to look .

    Disclaimer I have no affiliation whatsoever , but I do drink their brews

    in short, a healthy body is not able to function without cholesterol..it's necessary for brain&nervous system function.

    make that butter organic and enjoy .

    like with anything, moderation is advised.

    Thanks Elbie. I'm not unaware of the benefits of the cholesterol (A hefty lump of the brain's solid matter is cholesterol). I was thinking specifically about the combination of the butter with the coffee

    don't know about the benefits of that combo..coffee and cream/butter, clotted cream..why not.

    i know however that coffee with sugar becomes somethig else.. stops to have its' good benefits and starts to induce excitedness..


    i only ever have it sugar free..

    There is a bit of a discussion at the moment about the benefits of the so called bulletproof coffee which is coffee with grassfed butter and MCT. I personally think this is the latest hype but there is no harm in having it from time to time.
    Here is some info.

    What is Bulletproof Coffee?
    Bulletproof Coffee (BPC) is actually a recipe.
    In essence, it’s a combination of coffee, grass-fed butter, and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil.
    (Some people even add nootropics — cognitive enhancement supplements or drugs — to the mix.)
    Of course, with Bulletproof Coffee, not just any coffee will do. You can’t just pull out your ol’ Dunkin’ Donuts or Tim Hortons blend and think it’ll work. Remember — hackers gotta be optimal.
    So they fancy things up with so-called Upgraded™ Coffee. (Yes, that’s trademarked.)
    For starters, Upgraded™ Coffee promoters claim it improves energy, mood, productivity and overall health… much more than regular old coffee.
    And also unlike regular coffee, Upgraded™ Coffee is supposedly mycotoxin-free. (We’ll explain that idea more in a minute.)
    OK, so you take super-duper coffee, then add grass-fed, unsalted butter and MCT oil. Now you’ve got Bulletproof Coffee. This is next-level Space Age stuff right here.
    Here’s the recipe:

    2 cups (500 ml) of black Upgraded™ Coffee
    2 tbsp (30 ml) of unsalted grass-fed butter (or more, up to 80 grams of butter)
    2 tbsp (30 ml) of MCT oil

    Blend (ideally in a high-speed blender) until the oil emulsifies and it looks like a latte
    Bulletproof Coffee fans claim that it’s satisfying, kills hunger, eliminates jitters often caused by high caffeine intake, and keeps drinkers humming all day.
    Do these claims pan out?
    Time to explore.
    First, I’ll look at what the research says about coffee, mycotoxins, saturated fat and MCTs. Then I’ll try some Bulletproof Coffee myself...............http://www.precisionnutrition.com/bulletproof-coffee

    I drink mountain grown coffee - not instant. I have periods of time where I do not drink coffee which means I can compare the differences in my health. I do not think that coffee impacts in a negative way on my physical health but I think I can live without it if I have to.

    When looking at options for the final subject of my BA I noticed a topic that gave me the option of studying Coffee (History). Firstly I learned that printed historical resources were virtually not available due ot the dearth of study. The origins of coffee cannot be agreed upon but the available information seems to flow back to Africa/Middle East - where goat/sheep herders discovered that the animals would eat the berry and then exhibit what appeared to be excess energy. Soon after the people discovered the same effects and the rest is history as they say....

    Love a coffee but I can live without it....only if I have to though....

    Cacao may work to smoothen out the effects of the coffee and gives a more wholesome experience. My brother has done this many times. Personally, I like to enjoy cacao in a milkshake .
