I've been drinking BP Coffee for a year or so. Generally I make it with 21 grams of MCT oil and 9 grams of coconut oil. Once in a while I use grass fed no salt butter instead of the oil.

This thread is hilarious! People are putting loads of butter into their morning coffee and chat about how full and satisfied they feel afterwards! Some recommendations goes for 80 gram of butter – which energy is equivalent to 10 large cooked eggs! That amount of eggs should make most of us feel full, and if drinking black coffee beside eating them you’ll feel even fuller, and probably for a long time afterwards! But eggs are by all standards, except maybe taste, a much better option and a very complete food for nutrition and dieting than drinking buttercoffee...![]()
Hehehe, I forgot that the buttercoffee also made the fat fast “bulletproof”, the magic about staying in ketosis and all that! And to those folks that can’t eat eggs, you can have 4 canned Tuna in water at the same energy value as 80 gram of butter/oil, and even pour on some lemon juice. Drinking tasty black coffee besides may keep you pretty full until lunch…
When I run out of half and half, I use a half tablespoon of butter in my espresso. I call it buttercoffee because I realize that Bulletproof coffee has a different connotation and the reason for its existence is different. It's delicious even with as little butter as I use. 2 Tblsp half and half = 40 calories. A half Tblsp butter = 50 calories. So the butter doesn't make that much difference energy wise.
I guessing that for me, the coffee has always been a bit of an appetite suppressant. Fat isn't always something that sates me and I notice that I can easily fall into a pattern where I add more and more fat to my daily eating and then I feel a little uncomfortable when I notice and make myself cut back. Sort of like the cravings people describe when they cut way back on carbs coming from SAD to Primal.
Anyway, I can't imagine putting 2+ Tblsp butter in my coffee, nor can I imagine eating a huge honkin' breakfast. Both sound icky and not like magic at all. But that's just me.
I use to use it when I would fast. For breakfast. And sometimes again for lunch. 1TBL each of CO and butter. But not something I am doing now as I am trying to not add extra fat like that.
70lbs gone and counting!!
