To celebrate coming off the Sitagliptin I decided to try bulletproof coffee for the first time :-)

Followed the recipe, put it in a tall jug and used the hand blender - ended up wearing most of the coffee that hadn't decorated the kitchen and the floor.

Had another go using the whisk attachment (very carefully) and managed to emulsify the fats but still in danger of most of it disappearing out of the jug.

What equipment do people use generally to make theirs?
 
I bought a hand held blender from Argos and use any old jug. It was tricky at first but I hold the blender about 3/4 of the way down and blitz for about 15 seconds depending on how much froth I want. Hope this helps x
 
Think I need to develop my hand blender technique and a slightly taller jug by the sound of it ... Used a teaspoon to stop the oily layer forming afterwards @bulkbiker !
 
I'm not convinced that bulletproof coffee (looking at the info online) has any more benefits than a good dollop of cream in it instead, the latter being much less faff too. After all, they are both fats. I've seen one recipe with an egg in it as well..... bleaurgh.... And some blogs promoting it seem to want you to buy exceptionally expensive MCT oil. I wait to be enlightened!
 
I used to do it in a blender. The washing up got old fast.
Then I tried one of those tiny little battery operated hand whisk things see pic

but the washing up in all those little spiral things got tedious too.

Now I just dollop some cream into my drink and stir.

I'm a bit resistant to ritualising and mystifying perfectly ordinary food...
 
I tried it (using immersion blender) and thought it not worth the effort. Would rather have bullet proof chocolate squares (chocolate, coconut oil, butter melted together. Mix in shredded coconut, cool/slice.)

I use my Nutribullet. Just have to be careful when you open it. Works great for me when I decide I want bulletproof coffee.
 
I just cheat and have it strong and black, I used to drink tea white with two sugars just as my parents did, then eventually cut out milk, sugar and switched allegiances to coffee. You don’t have to make it difficult.
 
I've occasionally added a little coconut oil to my coffee and cream for an instant breakfast and just let it melt then stirred it in. I'll more often add it to a bowl of soup though.

But sometimes I'll save time and effort and just eat a yummy spoonful of coconut manna with my coffee instead. I believe the only benefit may be in that coconut is an MCT oil which is supposedly a fast acting energy fat, rather than the more normal slow.....

@bulkbiker - I just pour a little cream straight from the pot but I do have a spoon for stirring it in...
