We love our chemex pour over coffee in unbleached filters and mix in a superfood powder that has the full spectrum of MCT's (most oils don't) along with aquamin and liquid stevia, pure cacao powder for magnesium, powdered mushrooms and SHILAJIT! THE SHILAJIT IS A GAME CHANGER NUTRITIONALLY AND ENERGETICALLY. Highly recommend ppl consider adding to daily regimen.

Do you use shilajit tinctured or powdered? What are you taking it for? Overall health or something specific?

Looks good. I put black seed oil in my coffee when I remember. Cheers.

Sipping some matcha with ghee as I type.

Grassfed ghee also contains DHA, which helps our brain thrive:

Thanks for the stevia in the raw tip, does it have a stevia aftertaste you think?

I don't notice it in my blend but maybe a little in my mom's juice.

I tried ghee but I have to avoid dairy and the ghee was a problem. I gave away the jar I bought to test the method - Dave Asprey's video mentioned it with Buddhist monk yak butter hand churned tea..

Organic single origin Olive oil...

A nice golden...

many have different tastes...

For my body's needs the olive oil truly kicked the system up...

Improved sleep, skin, tummy...

Not so much with MCT/ ghee/ or butta...

Thanks for sharing ideas everyone!

Such FUN!!!

I was following instructions regarding the MCT oil and blending. I haven't tried it with olive oil to see what the difference is regarding structuring water.

I’m supposed to avoid dairy, too. I’ve had ghee in my coffee before for bulletproof coffee and didn’t like its taste.

JD - Great coffee time missive - like some teas, two words: chlorogenic acid.

I don't understand the stevia?

Why not black?

Don't the tastebuds eventually adjust?

NOT judging... WONDERING....

Thanks for your guidance!

Because I have a sweet tooth. :-). I have it unsweetened sometimes too. I should stop feeding my sweet tooth. It grows bigger.

Thanks...

was pondering if the additional sugar has some sort of chemical combo/ benefit!

Will refrain I personally won't was the sugar calories there!

LOL

Stevia is a low calorie natural sweetener. It isn't quite sugar but sweetness still sets off sweet taste buds.

Thank you... well, for whatever reason for my personal tastes the sweetness is a bit too high and increases the following day... the whole mouth... I can still taste that mega over honey funky taste! 🤣

Not for me I guess...

I stick to raw local or Manuka...

As usual thanks for sharing...

You make learning fun!

Interesting. Myrrh hmmm. Have used a few drops on floss to maintain gum integrity. Seeing the connection with gut issues.

Love camp fire coffee, far more flavorful. Follow the boiling with a french press to remove the grit.

TCM system of food cures uses black coffee to remove excess heat (calm yang) add drops or fresh ginger to boost the effects.

My structures coffee ritual: I add a slab of butter to my cup then pour some hot coffee over it to melt. I blend it with my hand held battery power whisk. Then I add some potassium, an egg yolk and a squirt of MTC oil. Then I use my little hand held whisk to blend into a creamy and frothy cup of fatty goodness. Thank you to Dr. Elizabeth Bright who wrote the book Good Fat is Good for Women: Menopause for the egg yolk idea!☕️

I make my morning coffee with Prymal non-dairy, non sugared, coconut based powdered creamer with one tablespoon of MCT oil, myself. I’ve found using a hand blender in my drip coffee pot prevents overflow situations.

I hadn't been making coffee for a while so the coffee maker isn't out and I didn't see the filters. But I still had some ground coffee and a saucepan.

Is it the blending vortex and potassium that makes this structured?

Expand full comment

The blending and the spoonful of MCT oil or ghee.

I add the potassium bicarbonate for the bicarbonate to offset the acidity of the niacin and the coffee.
