quick health tip

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."

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

keto

I think the part where the coffee is ice cold and doesn't melt butter is probably where the problems started, butter neither made it better or worse at that point

Tried this. It tasted god-awful. Personally, I swear by orange juice in my coffee.
- Amateur move, I just throw my whole breakfast in my coffee.
- I don't know if you are joking but fresh orange juice, strong cold brew, and fizzy water is really good. I thought it would be awful but it's delicious.

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.

Ah yes the keto diet.

People are not getting vaccinated because of one simple reason, they are fucking idiots!

Adding butter to ramen is amazing
- Okay but the last time I checked that wasn't the type of coffee. 🫤
  
  Pro-tip: replace the water in your instant ramen with coffee to make it taste like shit.
  
  Just giving butter related tips

The guy who downvoted this post probably adds butter to his coffee. lol
- Because butter coffee is what one drinks on keto - bullet proof coffee

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
- Aren't you supposed to use ghee not just regular butter. My friend gave me some ghee for coffee and I tried it, it wasn't bad but I didn't want to have a heart attack so I didn't use the rest. Now I use ghee for cooking to try it out and every time I smell it I want coffee or popcorn
  
  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.
- If you need to add a pinch of salt, get better coffee
  
  I think it's more of a tip for people who don't have a choice. Coffee isn't exclusively consumed for the taste.
  
  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.
  
  Or get better taste buds
- Found the keto
- I will never get countries who use creamer. They're choosing the objectively worst way to have coffee
- try adding a pinch of salt to your regular coffee
  This literally takes away one of coffee's biggest flavor enhancers which is its slightly bitter taste. If you do this, you might as well be drinking fucking tea.
  
  I don't like tea because its bitter
- Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn't a thing where I'm from.

I do add soy sauce to my coffee. Why don't people do this? It's 2025 already. They must be missing out on an awesome experience.
Edit: Not true.
- I recently read an article about soy sauce being the secret ingredient for a lot of top chefs. They put it in everything.
  
  You haven't lived until you've had a soy sauce mimosa.
  
  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.
- If you’re chasing that flavor try some darker roasts instead of adding salt.
  
  Yes I had that taste. Felt like I don't need soy bean for that soy sauce taste.

Because laxatives, that's why.
