How to Bulletproof Your Coffee Cup
Written By Bulletproof
There are a lot of good coffee options and keto-friendly supplements out there, but when it comes to having top-of-the-line, high-quality products, Bulletproof is the cream of the crop. Bulletproof creates high-quality products with the right nutrients to help you feel and perform your best. Our coffee beans are expertly roasted, sustainably sourced and tested for toxins to ensure a clean, flavorful cup of coffee every time. Plus, we have a wide offering of add-ins like restorative collagen protein and energizing MCT oil, which is loaded with quality fats.† Read on to find out what clean coffee is, the benefits of MCT oil and if you can put collagen in coffee.
What is clean coffee?
If you’re like most, the first thought that’s likely to come to mind when you hear ‘clean coffee’ is, “what is clean coffee, exactly?” No, it doesn’t mean we’re hand-polishing every single bean (although, that would be quite impressive). Clean coffee is coffee that has been tested for toxins to ensure the effective mitigation of mycotoxins (a toxic fungi found in certain foods that are grown in warmer climates).
At Bulletproof, we take the creation of our products seriously, meaning we don’t make any compromises—ever. From source to sip, we keep things clean. To start, we establish relationships with small farms in Colombia, El Salvador and Guatemala where our coffee cherries are hand-picked and further separated to result in only ripe, intact cherries.
Once picked, our farms take further steps to reduce microbiological contamination. Then, they’re tested for toxins to ensure they’re clean. If they pass the test, they’re blended and roasted to our carefully defined parameters. After that, it’s “cupped” by experts who score for a variety of attributes, including fragrance/aroma, flavor, acidity, body, uniformity and clean cup (our stringent cupping scores guarantee Specialty Grade coffee—every time). When that’s all done, they are brewed into the premium, flavorful coffee that lives in your cup.
To top things off, Bulletproof sources coffee beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. That means the beans have been harvested and produced in a more sustainable way, with part of the profits going back into helping our partnered farming communities.
Our Roasts
Bulletproof Coffee comes in grounds, whole beans and single-serve pods, and is available in four different roasts:
- The Original: This signature medium roast features distinct notes of cinnamon, plum and orange with a cocoa-hazelnut finish. (We also produce The Original Decaf using the Swiss Water Method® for chemical-free decaffeination—for those who cannot tolerate or do not want to consume caffeine.)*
- The Mentalist: This medium-dark roast has a full-bodied flavor with notes of cherry, almond and caramel.*
- Breakfast Blend: This light roast hosts vibrant notes of milk chocolate, orange, berry and citrus.
- French Kick: This dark roast offers a smooth, medium-bodied flavor with a smoky-chocolate aroma.
What to add to your clean coffee
Our clean coffee is great on its own, but there are plenty of add-ins you can mix into your cup that will make it even better.
In fact, the Bulletproof Coffee recipe is what made us famous. To make a cup, simply brew your favorite roast, add in grass-fed ghee or butter and MCT oil, then blend or froth. The result: a creamy, frothy latte that’s filled with benefits.
Bulletproof Coffee is brimming with quality fats, which provide you with sustained energy and keep you feeling satiated, alert and focused.† It’s perfect for various diets, including paleo, low-carb and keto. Bulletproof Coffee is also a great way to break an intermittent fast.
The benefits of MCT oil
MCT oil isn’t just an ingredient in Bulletproof Coffee—it’s a quality fat that your body turns into energizing, fat-burning ketones.† MCT, or medium chain triglycerides, are a type of medium chain fatty acid naturally found in coconut oil. Unfortunately, they’re largely missing from the typical Western diet. The benefits of MCT oil include sustained energy, weight management and fewer cravings.†
Bulletproof’s Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil is unlike other MCTs on the market. It’s made with C8 caprylic acid, which is the most ketogenic (produces the most ketones) of the MCTS. It produces four times more ketones than coconut oil, which means more ketone benefits like amplified energy and metabolic burn.†
Can you put collagen in coffee?
Collagen protein provides the building blocks for healthy hair, nails, skin, joints, bones and muscles.† But does collagen have a home in your morning mug? The answer is yes! Bulletproof Collagen Protein dissolves easily in hot or cold drinks and comes in Unflavored, Vanilla and Chocolate. If you’re looking for extra benefits, you can also add Gut Health (for microbiome support) or Energy Collagen Protein (with a custom blend of adaptogens) to your cup of joe.†*
All of the Collagen Proteins offered by Bulletproof are grass-fed. That means our collagen is sourced from pasture-raised cows, and you know what they say, happy cows lead to happy Bulletproof Collagen Protein users. Okay, we’ll admit, no one says that, but it’s true!
Now, who’s ready to brew, froth and sip their way to better days?
