Bulletproof Coffee Announces Bottled Bullshit Launch at Whole Foods

"If you agitate cream enough, you will make whipped cream. Continue agitating it and skim off the liquid, and you will make butter. Put that your coffee, and you have now wasted a lot of energy to put cream into your coffee." Gizmodo considers the science and health claims behind bulletproof coffee.
I prefer plain old milk anyway. Cream is too rich.

I wonder if that's what I ended up with at this diner I went to in St. Louis - I noticed a small square of _something_ in my cream but it dissolved in the coffee. But unlike cream which is mostly homogenous, the butter left little oil specks dancing around on top of the coffee. Inoffensive otherwise.
...either that or I dodged food poisoning. It was a really good breakfast otherwise, and delightfully nerdy, right across the street from the chess hall of fame.

Bulletproof Coffee is available in four flavors: Original, Vanilla, Mocha, and with collagen protein. It has a suggested retail price of $4.99 per bottle.
A few weeks ago I saw a $5 can of plain, black coffee on the shelf at Target. Motherfucker, I can get a can of good beer for $2, I am not buying your $5 can of coffee unless it comes with a place to plug my phone in for an hour.

I have to admit I have wanted to try Bulletproof Coffee, but considering I'm vegan and can't really drink full-on caffeine (just being able to have half-caf anything after 22 years of not touching a cup of actual caffeinated coffee because heart palpitation reasons when I was young is an achievement), I guess I'll never know.

Same can be said about milk, for which energy was extended to separate it from cream.
And then there's the small point that butter tastes and feels different from cream, because it is not cream. Would the author rather pour cream on their toast or have melted butter on it?

I have to admit I have wanted to try Bulletproof Coffee
You're really not missing much. It tastes like butter and it tastes like coffee. You don't feel anything special afterwards, other than a tacky tongue.
The tech bro who started this whole bulletproof nonsense says that you need to buy his special beans for it to work its magic (not kidding). So maybe I'm just doing it wrong and could get the totally-real benefits if I sent him more money?

Putting MCT or coconut oil (for energy that's pretty much accessible right away) and/or butter (for energy that's available later) in your coffee makes sense for someone who's already keto-adapted. By itself, it's not going to save anyone's life. Also, Dave Asprey is a loon who went from working for a variety of dot-coms (including Citrix) to hawking coffee that's wildly overpriced, which he justifies via pseudoscience.

Disclaimer up front: I'm totally on board the keto train (have lost 60 lb in the last year) and drink a version of bulletproof coffee probably 4 days out of 7. I make it with butter and coconut oil and homogenize it into my coffee with a hand blender.
The "bulletproof" moniker came about because the MCT oil in the recipe really can give a person an energy rush, above and beyond the boost from the caffeine. When it works for you, it can amp you up enough to feel invincible. But not everyone is up for it: When I was first experimenting with bulletproof coffee it wired me so badly I actually couldn't tolerate it. Jitters, anxiety, weird sensations in my innards--it was a no go. This happened whether the MCTs came from purified liquid out of a bottle or from unprocessed coconut oil.
I tried it again a little while later (when I was about 30 lbs lighter) and found it much more tolerable. I drink it because it's way, WAY too easy to go overboard with heavy cream, which is different from butter and I think far more tasty. Interestingly, as I've lost even more weight, my taste for fat in my coffee is decreasing and for the first time in my life I'm actually choosing to drink coffee black sometimes.
Anyway: the whole notion of BPC actually has some merits, even if the guy who named it and has been promoting it comes across like your typical capitalist wanker.

Several people who I know who've taken this up were people who previously drank their coffee sweetened, which seemed like kind of an apples-and-oranges sort of comparison of trying to figure out how it makes you feel and whether you lose weight while drinking it. Both in the sense of "well yes having less sugar might make you feel better" but also in the sense that, like, if the taste of this suits you enough better than the taste with milk/cream and no sugar... I mean, go for it? The brand marketing is obnoxious; the actual beverage is a deeply YMMV thing.

I have periodically added about a teaspoon of ghee to my coffee in the morning. As near as I can tell it does definitely feel like it blunts the caffeine spike/rush and evens it out, and helps me feel less hungry until lunch as opposed to not using it, especially on days where I work out early in the am. It isn't that surprising. People have been adding butter to coffee for a long time for different reasons. Given how many ways people have found to complicate the brewing process it's hardly that pretentious or silly that this is on the market. If the first 4-10 hours of your day are dependent on not fucking up one thing, you'd also likely spend a little extra time to see if there were ways to make it better. But the nuanced details of Bulletproof coffee just smell like marketing bullshit for the same people that spend too much on speaker cables.

While I don't add it directly into coffee, nowadays I do drink my morning coffee with either peanut butter or poor man's butter (avocado) toast. The same effect (less hungry, better brain performance) happens. But, according to the bulletproof coffee guy, it seems it has to be butter since it has that MCT property and both PB and avocado lack that. But it works for me.
When I began adding a fat to my breakfast, it was plain while milk Greek yogurt and it gradually changed to avocado and then sometimes I subbed PB. I forgot the exact sequence of thoughts that led me to start the fat in the morning thing. I want to say I came up with it all on my own, but I can't since I had read about bulletproof coffee by that time. So, maybe the marketing does work, but I did it wrong?

Huh. I've heard about adding butter to coffee as a backcountry technique to get more calories for long distance trekking, and I guess it shouldn't be surprising that someone's gone and made a proprietary version.... but.... wow.

This summer I saw a tent at a night market that said something like, "Lose weight by drinking coffee!!!!" Was that this, or another brand running with the same idea? Putting it into actual stores is more legitimacy than I'd have expected it to get.
