    I am probably the last person who should talk about coffee with butter \u2013\u00a0since I don\u2019t like butter. But because bulletproof coffee is not supposed to taste like butter, I try it anyway. A job is a job.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    But first things first: What exactly is bulletproof coffee?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

    A coffee with butter and MCT oil.<\/strong><\/em> MCT oil is a so called medium-chain triglycerides oil. Vegetable fats always consist of a combination of different stearic acids, like medium and long chain Triglycerides (Long chain triglycerides with more than 10 carbon atoms)<\/em>. Naturally, you find MCTs only in milk fat (butter)<\/em>, palm oil, and coconut oil. And they increase the energy expenditure more than other dietary fats do.* That is why bulletproof-coffee is supposed to have a stimulatory effect and raises your energy level. Okay\u2026?<\/em><\/p>

    Some people drink it to lose weight (keto diet).<\/em> Which sounds odd at first. But on their website, the German Nutrition Society lists some studies which describe the weight reducing effect of MTC.* I did not try it (for the known reasons), but one thing is certain:<\/strong><\/em> The bulletproof coffee makes you feel very full, so you do not need to worry about hunger pangs. So far, so good.<\/em><\/p>

    But now to the important question: How does bulletproof coffee taste?
    Try it yourself. Here comes the recipe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Brew the coffee as usual. Then, add MCT oil and butter and mix it IMMEDIATELY (I used a hand mixer)<\/em>. After about 30 seconds you get a light brown drink with a foam layer on top: The bulletproof coffee. The be enjoyed it right away.<\/p>
