Probably like most of America, I can’t get anything done without my morning coffee. And ever since we started on keto, we discovered this little twist on your traditional coffee called Bulletproof Coffee!
Now, I can’t get anything done in the morning without having one of these bad boys!
The idea behind Bulletproof Coffee is that since your body runs off of fat instead of carbohydrates with keto, you’re giving your body the fuel it needs to get through the rest of the day.
For me, this is doubly beneficial since I need all the energy I can get (working nearly 18 hour days for LCA) and also appreciate the unique taste!
For all my coffee making, I use a coffee siphon as I feel it produces the best results without investing in elaborate setups.
They do take a little more attention (although faster to brew) then your standard drip filter, but if you like a high-quality cup of coffee, I highly recommend looking into a siphon.
I also use a metal filter instead of the cloth one that comes with the siphon. The metal filter is reusable and lasts a very long time opposed to the cloth ones that you would have to throw away after a certain amount of use. So definitely consider this upgrade if you’re looking into getting yourself a siphon!
I usually make 5 cups of coffee, so that’s how the directions will be laid out. If you’d like to make more, I recommend the general rule of 1 Tbsp coffee beans for every 5 oz of water, so 40oz of water (8 cups) would call for 8 Tbsp coffee beans.
Now, let’s get started making this Bulletproof Coffee!
- Prepping Time 1M
- Cook Time 5M
- Total Time 6M
- Net Carb/Serv ~0.5g
- Servings 5
Ingredients
- 3 Cups of Water
- 5 tbsp Whole Coffee Beans (or pre-ground if you prefer)
- 1 tbsp Whip Cream (per coffee serving)
- 1/4 tbsp Grass Fed Butter (per coffee serving)
Directions
1) Gather all the ingredients.
2) Add the water into the bottom portion of the siphon and bring to boil on high.
3) Meanwhile, take the siphon filter and place inside the top portion. Grab the filter chain from the bottom and pull until the latch is secured on the external portion of the glass tube and set in the stand.
4) Place coffee beans into the coffee grinder and grind to medium (about 5-7 seconds on our grinder). Transfer coffee grinds inside siphon top and set in the stand.
5) Once water is boiling, firmly press the top portion into the bottom siphon. If done correctly, the pressure from the heat will cause the water to rise into the top portion. Let it boil for 45 seconds and then turn off the heat.
6) After about 2 minutes, the coffee will fall back down into the bottom portion of the siphon. Carefully remove the top portion (it will be hot!) and place into holding stand.
7) Pour coffee into a cup.
8) Stir in butter and whip cream while it’s hot.
Hope you enjoy your Bulletproof Coffee!
