What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Bulletproof Coffee is not your average latte. It’s an energizing, keto-friendly coffee drink that has helped everyone from driven CEOs to professional athletes to busy parents get more done.

This powerhouse beverage is a powerful part of intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets. It helps you feel satisfied, alert and focused.

Read on for the original Bulletproof Coffee recipe, where it came from and how it all works.

How does it work?

Turns out there is some powerful science behind the benefits of coffee, butter and Brain Octane C8 MCT oil.

It all starts with quality coffee

Scoop of ground coffee beans

Coffee doesn’t just taste good. It also delivers antioxidants. Caffeine keeps you alert, and it can also boost your metabolism and help you burn fat for energy. Just like the food you put into your body, the quality of your coffee matters: Bad coffee can make you feel lousy, while the right beans can give you an edge.

So make sure to brew with the best beans possible. Choose single-origin, small-batch Arabica beans that are tested for toxins and come from high-elevation farms.

Bulletproof coffee beans exceed all of these standards. Our coffee beans are expertly picked, sorted and roasted.

  • Location: Bulletproof coffee beans come from high-elevation, Rainforest Alliance certified, single-origin coffee estates.
  • Quality: Bulletproof beans are held to stringent quality standards. They’re sourced and processed to help minimize mycotoxins and other contamination.
  • Taste: Bulletproof coffee beans are super high-quality Arabica beans, which have a smooth, bold flavor.

And whether you prefer whole bean, ground coffee or ultra-convenient single-serve pods, we’ve got you covered with four delicious roasts. Find out what makes Bulletproof coffee beans different.

Why grass-fed butter?

Sliced block of butter

Grass-fed butter gives Bulletproof Coffee its creamy consistency. It also gives you quality fats that help keep you full and fueled. It’s the key ingredient to one of the creamiest lattes you’ll ever have.

Not only that, but grass-fed butter is a good source of butyrate and contains important nutrients like vitamin A, beta-carotene, and the fatty acid CLA.

For a pantry-friendly option with almost no lactose, try Bulletproof Grass-Fed Ghee.

Benefits of Brain Octane C8 MCT oil in Bulletproof Coffee

Brain Octane C8 MCT oil is a key ingredient in the Bulletproof Coffee recipe for several reasons:

  • Purity: It’s pure C8 (caprylic acid) derived from 100% coconut oil, triple-distilled and purified with just water, heat and pressure. That means you get pure, highly ketogenic C8 MCTs.
  • Quality: Produced according to Bulletproof’s strict quality standards.
  • Taste: Flavorless and odorless, unlike some other MCT oils.

Different types of fats have different jobs. And because of Brain Octane C8 MCT oil’s molecular structure, it’s four times more effective than plain coconut oil at raising your ketone levels, so your body and brain can run on fat instead of sugar. This is what gives you sustained energy without the crash.

Getting started with Bulletproof Coffee

The best way to figure out if Bulletproof Coffee works for you is to try it. Here’s how you can incorporate Bulletproof Coffee into your day to up your energy and performance:

  1. Get the ingredients: That means Bulletproof coffee beans, grass-fed butter (or ghee) and Brain Octane C8 MCT oil. For a convenient, ready-to-drink option, try Bulletproof Cold Brew Latte. You can take it with you anywhere, no refrigeration needed.
  2. Try swapping your usual breakfast for Bulletproof Coffee for one week: It may take your body a while to adapt to the extra fat. Start slowly with smaller amounts of butter and Brain Octane C8 MCT oil and build up to the full amounts included in the recipe.
  3. Eat your lunch and dinner as usual: Or just eat when you’re hungry.

Ditch the sugar-heavy breakfast and start your day with fat for fuel. When you feel sharp and alert for hours, you’ll be glad you made the switch.

What if you don’t drink coffee?

You don’t even have to use coffee to feel many of the benefits of Bulletproof Coffee. The truth is, you can make just about any hot beverage into a creamy, frothy version of itself simply by blending in grass-fed butter and Brain Octane C8 MCT oil.

Hot chocolate, tea and turmeric tea are just a few options. Check out this recipe for the perfect Bulletproof Matcha Latte.

7 things you shouldn’t blend into keto coffee

Pile of sugar next to black coffee

If you want to maximize the benefits of Bulletproof Coffee, avoid adding the following ingredients:

1. Soy milk

Soy is high in phytic acid and lectins, two antinutrients found in grains and legumes. It can also affect estrogen levels if eaten in excess. Learn more about soy.

2. Industrial butter and margarine

Don’t do it—use grass-fed, unsalted butter instead. Get the details on industrial dairy.

3. Alternative milks with added sugars or fillers

Take a close look at the ingredients of your store-bought nut milk (or oat milk), especially if it’s flavored. Many contain questionable additives like carrageenan (which may contribute to stomach upset and inflammation) or high-fructose corn syrup.

4. Sugar and artificial sweeteners

If you like your coffee on the sweet side, use stevia, monk fruit extract or erythritol. Check out this full list of Bulletproof-approved sweeteners and which to avoid.

5. Other oils

Keep the cooking oils out of your Bulletproof Coffee. You want MCT oil, not canola oil.

For the biggest ketogenic benefits (like fat-burning, brain-powering energy), go with Brain Octane C8 MCT oil. It’s pure C8, the most ketogenic MCT oil.

Even though Brain Octane is sourced from coconuts, it’s not the same as coconut oil. That means you won’t get the same benefits of Bulletproof Coffee if you make it with plain coconut oil.

That’s because coconut oil is a totally different product with a different chemical makeup. Is it a quality fat? Absolutely. But if sustained energy and fewer cravings is what you’re after, reach for Brain Octane C8 MCT oil. Learn more about the differences between MCT oil and coconut oil.
