    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

    If you need to add a pinch of salt, get better coffee

    Eh, most people burn their coffee or get shitty coffee. Salt helps enhance the coffee profile and decrease the bitterness that comes out when coffee is over brewed.

    The number of people who don't know how to properly make coffee drives me nuts.

    I remember the "bulletproof coffee" trend being grass fed butter, but I could be wrong. Either way I doubt there's any health benefits other than it not being a starbucks milkshake.

    I recently read an article about soy sauce being the secret ingredient for a lot of top chefs. They put it in everything.

    Also fish or oyster sauce, sometimes miso. Tomato paste is another.

    All of the above add unami, or "savory" flavor and are generally not perceived outside of that flavor in most dishes.

    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."

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

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

    I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?

  • source

    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.

    I completely agree, but there's an exception: weed butter.

    Wow, I'll try that tomorrow

    Edit: I've tried butter coffee twice, and it's actually decent.
