There is a trend of putting butter in coffee. I find this sweet and creamy version more palatable.
Accompaniments
- Nutella and butter on a baguette
- Raspberry jam and butter on a baguette
Origins
This coffee is inspired by three other beverages.
- In Tibet, people drink a smoky tea loaded up with yak butter and pink Himalayan salt. It provides fluids, caffeine, fat sodium and calories. It gives you energy to work all day at a high altitude and cold. Once source states that people drink up to 40 cups of this tea a day.
- Dave Asprey adapted and Americanized the beverage as buttered coffee, by adding grass-fed butter and coconut oil to coffee.
- Hot buttered rum is an English beverage made from hot water or tea, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and of course, rum and butter.

Hi! I’m confused why it says 3 cups of coffee in the ingredient list but your instructions used only one cup but includes the two pats of butter ?
For sure will try it, just asking!!!
Hi Carolyn,
Sorry about that, please use 1 cup but feel free to adjust to suit your taste! 🙂
Wicked good. I left out the cream because I felt more like having black coffee. Unsalted butter and REAL maple syrup are awesome. I generally don’t like unsalted butter, but I’ll keep it around for this coffee if nothing else.
Thank you Mack
appreciate it.
A chunk of food grade cocoa butter is something I tried recently. Very good. Available on Amazon.
