What are the pros and cons of putting butter in your coffee?

>>40603549

it tastes good t b h

>>40603549
its basically like cream, so it's only natural to put it in coffee

just don't fall for the "bulletproof" meme, literally any coffee and any purified butter/ghee will work just fine

i even just use plain butter sometimes and voila it doesnt make a difference

It's retarded.
Don't be retarded.

>>40603566
t. retard

>>40603549
Pro: nothing.
Con: it tastes like a horrible greasy mess.

>>40603561
>voila

Its wuolah you stupid fuck

>>40603579
t. retarded retard

Dying sooner. I'll let you determine if that's a pro or con.

>>40603549
Another benefit is longer lasting energy. Since blending it makes the caffeine molecules bond with the fat molecules and since fat is so calorie dense and takes longer to digest and enter your system, so too does the caffeine.

?????

all of the west cooks with butter, the fuck are you on about?

>>40603652
>>40603645
literally every experience i can find for this says the same thing, since caffeine is fat soluble. It takes away the jitteryness and the crash and gives a smoother, more leveled energy

>>40603665
No. I'm stating you sound like a purveyor of bullshit.

"Food" and "nutritional" sciences are close enough to the human plane of existence that everyone can have an intuition about it. And I'm pretty sure that means that vast majority of people are walking around ready to confidently spout bullshit they have never seen evidence for, and have maybe anecdotally seen a correlation for.

>>40603730

>it's not too much of a stretch

yes it very is

>>40603730
It's actually a huge stretch.
For all me know the "additional energy" might just be from consuming extra fat.

>>40603592

They call it "Bulletproof Coffee".

>>40603735
>>40603741
the idea is that it is because caffeine is fat soluble, and fat takes longer to digest in the body because it's more calorie dense

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3407246 here is from a study about caffeine absorption on varying levels of fullness and whatnot

>>40603773
thats why most people blend it, turns it into a nice light brown color, same as if you'd added already liquid cream

>>40603785
>here is an unrelated citation
Just fuck off already.

>>40603795
lol that study is literally about caffeine absorption in various levels of gastric emptying, i.e. fullness i.e. satiety i.e. what a high fat diet notably provides

just because you're not able to decipher the science jargon doesn't mean it's unrelated, man.

>>40603735
>yes it very is

>>40603807
Does it mention fat binding to caffeine? No? Then it's unrelated. Now fuck off.

what the fuck is this an actual thing
one of the main reasons I drink a shit loads of coffee, and the main reason I hope most of you drink it too, is because it has zero calories
you drink a fuck load of it and not fuck up your diet

if you add shit like milk, sugar and fucking BUTTER then just kill yourself

Why do this instead of whole milk?

>>40603894
Lactose intolerance, for one

>>40603549

>>40603549
>read on /fit/ that it's supposed to taste like a breve latte

>Not wanting extra calories

How does one expect to ever make it?

>>40604226

if the coffeine wasn't already soluted, it would float on top of your fucking coffee.

>>40604347
You seem to be missing the point cuck, more calories in a meal means a slower rate the stomach shits out food particles into the small intestine. Fat is more calorie dense so less food particles are shitted per unit time. Because caffeine gets stuck to the fat and its absorption occurs in the small intestine not stomach you get smoother pharmacokinetics

>>40604468

still no explanation for "additional energy"

>>40604288

That's very simplified and isn't true for every compound. Aspirin, for example, gets mostly absorbed in the stomach and is not much affected by stomach contents either.

Enjoy your greasy shit as half a litre of coffee and fat clean out your insides like a power hose.

10/10 would drink again.

So what's the difference between putting butter in your coffee vs drinking coffee with any breakfast?

just be a man and drink it black like every other miserable fuck out there

>>40603549

Pro:
-tasty in a hot buttered rum type drink, way
-appetite suppressing for a while
-easy way to get a bunch of fat if you're keto or running a high fat low carb diet

Con:
-don't need more fats if you're not doing keto or high fats low carb diet.
-apparently some nerds on the internet will judge you.

>>40603549

It's a milk product.

Cream is also a milk product.

Ice Cream is also a milk product.

They're all fine in coffee if you want.

>butter

>not homemade kefir

>>40604560
it doesnt give "additional" energy it gives longer lasting energy. It doesnt peak and then crash, it's a steady burn throughout the caffeine being in your body

>>40609216
Low solubility in room temp water, high solubility in hot water, like the temp you would use when brewing coffee. Check out an MSDS sometime.

>>40609162
As can be seen from the structure (fig.1), caffeine has few hydrophilic regions represented by amine and amide groups. These hydrophilic groups would reduce the absorption of caffeine, thus leading to a reduction of pharmacological effect exerted by caffeine. However, caffeine also contains few hydrophobic regions, which are represented by aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. These hydrophobic groups would increase the lipophilicity of caffeine, thus allowing it to be absorbed into the body, especially across the BBB into the brain and exert its action.

While it has more saturated fats, it has less of the harmful long-chain saturated fats. Still not a good thing to be drinking.

I'm not a ketofag but I've tried this and it's actually really good. You're supposed to put coconut oil in with the butter as well.

Breakfasts are not typically pure fats

Pro: If I see you doing this, I know you are retarded and to stay away
Con: It tastes terrible (I assume), it looks terrible, it is terrible for you, and it ruins coffee.

Seriously, if you are going to drink coffee, buy a nice burr grinder like an Encore or better, a pour-over of some sort, an aero press, a moka pot, a scale, and a gooseneck kettle (grinder, scale, kettle, and one of the brew methods can get you started). Then go get some good, fresh, lightly roasted beans (no more than 2 weeks old) and make yourself a cup. Get it down and you'll never think about ruining coffee with butter ever again.

>having coffee shits ever

Get a load of this pajeet-level digestive tract.

I've actually done it before (keto). Its good for endurance type energy and blunts the hyperactivity of caffeine and extends the energy it gives you. Perfect for a long run, hike, or biking session.

Would not really recommend for intense workouts.

I always use good quality light roast coffee, which has more caffeine than the burnt shit, so its nice to have the caffeine effects spread out. I don't really think its placebo, I do feel like I have a lot more endurance, but I would never drink it like that if i was planing on being sedentary for a while afterwards.

Also, you're supposed to blend the fucking thing, otherwise the butter melts and you get a nasty layer of fat on top. You want to get it creamy and frothy. Its basically like adding cream to your coffee.

Bottom line, its not bad if you add 200 cals to your morning coffee if you plan to burn at least a few hundred right after. You might even have a net gain as your body is more primed to burn fat easier.
