It's to give you extra energy. Coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid which can be utilised for energy more quickly than long-chain fatty acids. Also if you get the cold-pressed extra virgin oil (I get the Lucy Bee oil), it has a coconut flavour which the cheaper refined versions don't.

Only thing putting me off is the coconut flavour. Not my favourite.

Why must it be unsalted butter?
Low cab high fat normally requires extra sodium.

If you get refined coconut oil like KTC brand there is no coconut flavour. Also, I use Kerrygold butter which is from grass-fed cows so I am OK with it being salted.

I preheat everything the coffee goes in during the process by running them under the hot tap... the cafetière, the pan I froth it all in and the mug.

Coconut is optional.
I can't imagine salt in coffee tasting to good.

Just dipped my toe in the water with "bullet resistant coffee".

Normal Nescafe instant with double cream, but a big lump of butter added.
This was salted butter, by the way

It was still way too hot for me to drink, but then I normally add a lot of cold water to my instant coffee because of my wimpish mouth.

It tastes remarkably good, although the predominant taste is slightly salted butter - there is a clear yellow film on top of the coffee.

It does make me wonder if this is all a little complicated, though.
Why not just eat the cube of butter then drink the coffee?
Then again. I really like butter.

Cheers

P.S. if Olive Oil is good for you, why not just drink a glass of that?
Nice fruity extra virgin, of course.

For best results with adding butter and or coconut oil, you need to use a blender to froth it all up, otherwise you end up with an oil slick

Here's one I made earlier:

Not sure I know the answers!
Melted butter and caffeine act to give you a great mental buzz and deaden the appetite for hours so maybe that's why.
If I have a piece of toast I have it as hot as possible with a pile of butter on ... tastes great stops me spiking but doesn't give me the lift or the appetite suppressant side of things.
I know of two people who drink olive oil ... teaspoon in the morning teaspoon in the evening.

Was searching for unsalted grass-fed butter for my coffee and came across one called Echiré. Apparently available in M&S.

Am going to have to try some.

Love Kerrygold and stock in the freezer when a good price. Whether salted or unsalted is a matter of taste, same with the coconut oil. The coconut oil actually increase you fat burning
Tips - For travelling, buy a milk frother at IKEA (£1) and use.
