If your coffee is bitter because the person who made it is useless, a couple of grains of salt fixes it.

For those who didnt know.

Ive never tried coffee with butter or coconut oil. Makes me wonder though. Thoughts on the flavor?

Try it and decide for yourself. Your shoes are different to mine.

You're already WINNING and cutting back on sugar.

Youre replacing sugar with a fat. Thats not a win, esp if youre on shakes.

If you need sweetener, try stevia, small amount of honey or a liquid sweetener - im using this stuff called Mo ( i think, not getting up to check), its make from agave. Like tequila but no

I dont have any sweetener in coffee tea etc, i bought it as a sugar syrup replacement in mojitos.

Fat doesn't put on weight like most people think. I know a few people that drink skim milk but if they wore an X-files t-shirt the Police helicopter would try and land on them.

Sugar is the big killer in the room and snacking every 20 minutes.

Look at a photo of people pre WW2, most of them were all skinny.

I cured my type 2 diabetes with a high saturated fat low carb diet, the SiverChain diet for diabetes was keeping me very sick, mainly trans fats and low carbs, a diet that would "kill a brown dog"
Your lungs are made 100% from saturated fat, your brain is 80% cholesterol so go figure that!

A saturated fat, a fat that is good for your general health and well-being, trans fats are toxic to a human, even animals!
Exercise helps, even if it's walking in circles around a clothes hoist, tied with a leg rope, not sure what this has to do with coffee!

I use honey occasionally just to mix things up a bit. But it can be quite overpowering if you want to taste the coffee.

Never knew about the salt. Bitter comes with overheating?

Actually I noticed cold brew seems to have a natural sweetness to it....strange.

Sounds like a Keto lifestyle. Low carb, no sugar, high fat, eat breakfast and dinner only. Works for my partner.

Not that strange. Coffee is actually a sweet drink. Most people think its bitter because 90% of the coffee served up is just accepted as how its supposed to taste.

Correct extraction is critical for that sweet taste. Especially if you are after the freshly ground flavor. Some people I know prefer the percolated taste but I find it too watery for my liking. If I cant see heavy crema from the extracted oils, then I know it's not 100% right. That said, I will still drink it because Im a coffee fiend

Not sure how the salt thing works, its literally only a couple of grains. But does help if the maker burnt the coffee.

Yeah, nah

Real info from real qualified people, make up your own mind though whether you want to add coconut oil to your coffee. I have had coconut coffee, bit of an acquired taste tbh. At least its not nut juice

If you have sugar in your coffee and want to try something different, put in some condensed milk, you get milk and sugar in one.
It's so nice, but very sweet.
Love, love condensed milk, but in moderation.

My breville smart grinder pro died recently so it presented the opportunity to step up a level or so and get a decent grinder.

I didn't want a Cafe style one as they are overkill for home use, esp ones with dosing chamber etc. Too much waste if its only for a couple of drinks a day.

Ended up getting a Eureka mignon specialita..

Now my knock box definitely needs an upgrade...

According to my Barrista mate, they are a good unit.
