    It’s actually not bad, you’re basically replacing the creamer. Especially if you’re doing keto or have other dietary restrictions. Coconut or MCT oil can work as a non-dairy replacement and is a main ingredient in non-dairy creamers already.

    Good coffee is important, and also only really works if you already like it black or light cream & sugar.

    Anyone curious, try adding a pinch of salt to your regular coffee

    I have tried this out because I got a bit obsessed with learning how to make every coffee drink during the pandemic. The way I did it was a double shot of espresso, a decently sized pat of good quality unsalted butter, and a little bit of hot water. The reasoning was that the butter would accentuate the naturally occurring oils of the espresso and lead to a richer crema on the resulting americano which was true. I thought it was actually pretty good that way, but I also love coffee in any form. It also wasn’t something I’d go out of my way to drink again. I also imagine this would do some bad things to your intestines if you drank this every day. If you want a delicious buttery coffee, a good quality whole fat milk is a much better option. As for health claims, I think it’s kind of insane that anyone says drinking literal butter could possibly be good for you, and even more insane that people believe it. It feels like an over-reaction to anti-fat propaganda from the sugar lobby where we went from “Maybe eating some fat in your diet isn’t a bad thing” to “YOU MUST EAT AS MUCH FAT AND OIL AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.”

    There’s actually nothing wrong about this. Video is nonsense. Heavy creamers are basically the same thing not whipped yet.

    LPT: add a lemon peel and honey to any coffee incl instant and it will taste gourmet. Add condensed milk if you’re feeling fancy. This is what I do for fieldwork coffee. I learned this off a good Brazilian friend, never went back. I always do at least the peel now, it neutralises the acids.

    Reminds me of that olive oil coffee Starbucks was selling that caused people to shit their pants.

      Bulletproof coffee works well to clean you out and if you are on the Keto diet it’s a decent pick.

    I used to do this because it was supposedly better than sugary creamers. You’re supposed to use a little blender to whip it up though, then it actually tastes super good.

      Adding some coarse salt to heavy cream and dropping in an immersion blender makes a whipped butter that goes well in the coffee and on toast
