Does anyone still add the butter to this coffee since that is what all the Bulletproof Coffee recipes call for. & do you still need to add more Oil?

I used the Kerry Gold butter with the Lipix and it worked fine without adding extra oil. It definitely helped with the bitterness of Instant edge. The greatest difference between bulletproof and instant edge is the caffeine levels and the stronger taste.

Def don't need to add more oil. The oil rises to the top and its a decent amount per serving. Coffee has a strong bitter taste as black coffee, otherwise good coffee.

I haven't had BulletProof coffee but have read that it is very pricey and not worth the extra money. Kicking Horse is Mycotoxin Free and Organic. I am out right now and have to switch my autoship to one every month. My husband found out how awesome it was and now he drinks it more than I do. We buy the Kick Ass Dark brand of this coffee.

I bought it a year ago and am still using it. The butter flavor is not that good. Tastes more like oil.

I love the medium, Patti. It's called Three Sisters and is a delicious blend. If you like very strong coffee, go with the dark. Hope you like it! BH

Im not sure if it is or not. I just use this mct oil in my bullet proof coffee

The exterior of the bean is glossy but not really oily. However, I have noticed a lack of consistency of the roast a bit from order to order, I just make slight brewing adjustments. Still very happy with the coffee. RM

Really, that is your ?,? What do you deem as organic? Spread out on a hot dry bed by human hands that maybe that have not been washed? Or done by machine, clean, shaken, heat added to make dry and clean. I have know idea other than maybe you should shop for organic coffee and really waste your money on something that makes no difference in taste. I liked the coffee until the beans came in oily, sign that it didn't dry enough. Get a life or grow your own coffee bean tree's to make sure it fits your lifestyle. Sorry I am so crass, but really...coffee beans???

Thank you for the advice! I've tested 2 of the included samples using 9-10oz and using the pulse button and it's not to bad... like I said I'm pretty bland when it comes to my coffee :) I bet a 12gram pod and maybe using pulse will be perfect! There aren't any reusable pods yet for this machine that would let me use my own ground coffee are there?

Yes.. that's how it works; the water keeps the butter cool and oxygen free to prevent spoilage, yet soft enough to promote spreadability. I only use organic pasture butter, though, so maybe it's your butter that is losing flavor. Oil and water don't mix, so the water shoildn't affect the butter, but I do frequently change the water in mine and I use water that is from my Brita filter, so maybe your water has chemicals in it that change the flavor of the butter.

Dunno if you're still monitoring this, but if four cups will do it for you in the mornings this may be your machine. Experiment with different roasts to get the flavor you like. I've found going to a darker roast gives me the strength I like even less than a full carafe. It'll brew those four cups faster than the Keurig does one with no noise.

I've used 2% and whole milk and it seems I get greater foam with the full fat milk. However, I think an inch of foam is good considering the coffee and milk are blended and heated together in one tool. You might try a higher fat milk to see if you get foam more to your liking.

We have not paid much attention to the oily beans situation...we did at first but if you clean it out really good a couple times a week you'll have no problem. We have a frothing pitcher and that's it. We love this machine - can be a bit loud but puts out some really good coffee.

The comment that the milk frother requires a high fat content milk/cream is not accurate. The higher the fat content, the less foam it will produce. Skim milk will yield the most dense foam. I have never added flavored creamer, or any liquid other than milk for that matter, as the instructions say not to. But to be honest, I probably would if I liked flavored coffee. I can't imagine why it would cause a problem - especially if you wash it well afterwards.

Yes, we did, adding a tablespoon to my regular coffee to add the chickory flavor. I think it worked a bit better in our cold brew system but it does work for hot pour over.

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

I am not sure what bulletproof coffee is. I don't see a problem with hot liquids.

Yep! It is perfect for bulletproof coffee. I didn't know I would like it in my coffee this much! It's my favorite way to drink coffee now.
