Bulletproof MCT Coffee mixture?

[KrisL]

I'll look into the temperature thing because you've got me curious now. I use a plastic electric kettle.
As for the steeping time, I suppose just jamming the melitta's filter down will stop it up ( this happens accidentally all the time anyway). It takes the thing quite a while to pour a cup anyway... something I've never bothered timing, but I'm certain is at least 3 minutes.

 

[Jiigzz]

Then you haven't tried a good burr grinder. A blade grinder creates a very non-uniform grind. The small fines over extract, and make it bitter; the large particles under extract. A good burr grinder creates more uniform grind particle size, and far better extraction of flavor. It's remarkable how much better a baratza encore is then a blade grinder, and I'm talking taste in the cup.

The clever is better because instead of just pouring through the grounds with little steep time, it has a stopper. You pour the water over the grounds in the clever, let it sit for 3-4 minutes like a french press, then set it on a cup which opens the stopper and let's it drain out. Again, a remarkable difference.

Boiling water... I can guarantee you your water is too hot, unless you live in sub zero temps. At 70 ambient temps ,it takes around 5 minutes for my kettle, when half full, to cool to 200.

If i lived in the US,id get my beans from you. Like the wizard of coffee

Coffee makes me poo 20x a day but I love that caffeine high and it's not the same from other sources. Does better quality coffee fix this?

Fix pooing? Sorry, I can't trump nature. that effect is a result of caffeine, among other things.

"I learned about the power of butter at 18,000 feet elevation near Mt. Kailash in Tibet when I staggered into a guest house from the -10 degree weather and was literally rejuvenated by a creamy cup of yak butter tea."


Its amazing how people simply don't read.

 

[tristen22001]

I have to admit, I've always hated the taste (and even the smell) of coffee but a few weeks ago I tried blending butter and coconut oil into coffee and loved the taste and energy it provided. I've since switched to adding butter and coconut oil to matcha green tea and really like it too.

Last time I checked, it wasn't on his site, and he made no effort to do anything ing but claim it as his idea. Maybe it changed. Doesn't really matter: butter is cream, cream is butter. Use what you like. Or go black. I do.

Are you kidding? I directly copied that from his site. Its always been there. Hell he has a picture of himself there.

He never claimed to invent it...I think you made no effort in reading or listening to him.

His beans are legit. I need to place an order soon.

And poison, I owe you a huge thanks for exposing me to real coffee. Years of feeling like something was missing from that crappy ground big chain brand stuff. As well as the brew process. I grabbed a burr grinder off your suggestions at the other forum. So thanks you sir!

Happy to help, bro! I'll be out of town for a week, day job unfortunately snags me every now and then. Tomorrow is my last roasting day until next week.

I can't wait to only be roasting coffee!

Of course I have a recommendation. I roast.

What do you recommend?

Then listen better...he said his creation was "Bulletproof" coffee which is his recipe.....Bulletproof is his brand of coffee and recipe for HIS version which is HIS coffee and HIS MCT oil. He never said he created butter based tea and or coffee.

No sir. Doing that would be a disservice to the Beans I buy, and farmers who painstakingly grew them. Dark roasts kill the flavor of the beans, and what you're left with is the flavor of the roaster. If you're going to do that, just buy cheaper green beans to roast, since you're not going to taste the beans anyway. My job, as the roaster, is to highlight the flavors of the origin inherent in the beans. I think you'd be shocked at how good high quality beans, roasted with a gentle hand, taste.

Finally, a sane coffee person!! I'm a light to medium roast kinda guy...dark is just burnt IMO. Might have to put an order in with you at some point.

Do you have samples? haha

If you saw a dark roast in progress, it would be abundantly clear, it's charred. Smoke billowing everywhere. It's all about the maillard reaction: carmelizing sugars, not burning them into oblivion. The flip side is Nordic style roasting is popular now, and few people know howto do it right, so mmuch of the current coffees from third wave micro roasters is simply under roasted. It's sour and astringent, not cool at all. I've had a few people CA mine a dark roast, when according to industry standards it's a light or light side of medium roast. Why do they call it that? Because uber light under roasted roasts are becoming the norm... But people are realizing it's a stupid trend.

I digress. The most important aspect throughout all my coffees, to me, is that the be sweet.

 

[bioman]

I'm all about the sweet undertones ever since I realized they exist a year or two ago. Slightly angry that I had been drinking swill for 30 years (I started drinking coffee at age 9 to ward off the cold at the bus stop).

Coffee is one-half of the best OTC fat burning stack on earth coupled with ephedrine. It would be crazy for us not to talk about it, plus it's delicious.

Even better: Coffee originated in Ethiopia, all of it. Originally coffee was not roasted: the Warriors, when going to war, would grind green beans with dried fruit, and pack it into the original PowerBar, complete with caffeine, to power themselves in battle. So... It was the first preworkout.

I was just in kona for my other job, but I did manage to drive 45 minutes south to Greenwell coffee farms. I didn't have time to do a tour, but spent a half hour talking shop with the roaster, and dropped $150 on 4lbs of coffee. Really good stuff.

Grass-fed as well - haven't tried adding butter yet though.

I've been adding coconut oil in my coffee & sometimes throwing back some MCT oil before a workout. My experience is that they actually do a pretty good job of slowing caffeine absorbtion. I can handle way less caffeine when taken in the presence of either MCT or coconut oil. MCT preworkout seems to make me sweat a bit harder as well. My diet hasn't been the best one to judge fatloss from lately, so can't really comment there.

Fat slows the absorption of caffeine as slows the further conversion downstream into the active metabolites. you would add fat if you want to avoid the stimulation of coffee.

So, would this mean that Dave Asprey is talking out of his butt or is the energy and appetite suppression he's supposedly getting from his questionable Bulletproof concoction more or less from the MCT and large quantity of butter rather than any effects from caffeine?

The best way to drink Coffee for stimulant effect is to CHUG it on empty stomach.

If I was combining Butter and MCT, I would add 20 grams of protein and call it a meal.

Lulz. I would agree with you, but just inquiring about the whole Dave Asprey Bulletproof thing which all sounds and feels a little loopy to me (it's like sound ideas mixed in with wild assumptions/presumptions and maybe a dash of placebo).
