Has anyone tried putting this in a shot of hot coffee to wash it down, similar to a Bullet Proof Coffee?

The quickest, least painful way to down this is to have it straight from the spoon - least potential for getting it on your clothes and/or stinking up your dishwasher and other stuff. From my perspective, I see 3 issues with the hot coffee idea - 1) I dont think you are supposed to heat this, I dont know if the hot coffee would be hot enough to damage any of the proteins/amino acid chains in it, but given how much we pay for this, I would not want to mess with reducing its effectiveness in any way, 2) hot coffee would make this melt and stick to the sides of your cup = more wastage and less going into your belly, 3) you now have 2 things smelling of fish oil in your dishwasher instead of 1. But, if this is the only way you can make it go down for now - go for it. Do what you gotta do ... My 5 yr old has a tiny dollop of jam immediately after he has a spoonful of fish oil - it seems to help him have it.

I used to take it with coffee, but I would take a small sip of coffee, then stick the spoon with the gel in my mouth, then gulp it all down together. But I found that coffee only amplifies the taste. Now I do the same routine but with some whole milk and it actually mitigates the taste!

Yes, I have done that several times. Works well, I also use it without anything in it and use the hot water to make hot chocolate, tea and instant coffee.

Sharona, I agree with Pat. Try a small drop first. Yes, it's very expensive, but if you're only using a drop or two, it should last a long time. Would you be willing to try the liquor Anisette? We use it in coffee.

I put it at one drip per 11/2 seconds. I usually do it at night so it is done in morning. I have never timed it but I would venture about three to four hours. I then transfer into a Capped Jar in the fridge, We add a couple of shots to hot brewed coffee and the enhanced taste is amazing. You can warm it for a demi-tasse espresso but it is only for those who like espresso. I sent a jar to a friend and he uses it over vanilla ice cream. He keeps hinting he's getting low on his "Stash". Be aware that this is a very fragile piece and not for rough use. I have it on a shelf away from curious hands. I also use a rubber mat in my Cast Iron sink when washing. so far so good. Oh I use Cold Ozarca Mineral water and not tap water.

yes I do it all the time,,, the only thing you have to remember is whether hot or cold,,only feel the container to 3/4 full or it may spill over, which is understandable.. there is a natural lift to the product when spinning. If 3/4 full,, when it spins it will look like the container is full.. so if you fill it to the top, when it spins,,all the liquid or food has to go somewhere, plus you don't want it burning out the motor either.. but yes,, you can make bulletproof coffee in it.

That would be like putting instant coffee grounds in the coffee pot. ..you could, but why? I just mix a tablespoon or so in hot milk/almond milk or water. Eazy peezy!

I do. I mean I give the two pods, especially espresso a second run in different cup for quick shot, or to make a bolder flavor. You can pull off grande latte if you two shots and heat fresh milk. So good. Coffee I just use it once depending on strength falls on how much water you use. But I've noticed third time is no charm. In fact I found 90% of me running it through a 3rd time, the lever exploded even with my arm putting pressure, and had hot espresso grounds and water shoot at my face and hand. Once is right, twice is nice a little light, third gives you the bird.

I have a bag on the way, but haven't tried it. However, being familiar with bulletproof requirements for coffee, just know that this is probably doesn't strictly fit the requirements of true BP. To do so, it needs to be single estate, high elevation, swiss water processed whole bean arabica. It's definitely the last two, but I believe it's a blend and doesn't fit the first two. However, this brand is supposed to taste great so as long as you're not overly concerned with mycotoxins it will do just fine!

I haven't washed mine, but if it survived the coffee soaking, it should survive a hand soak and wash. I would give it a try.

YES! and it comes out dark, thick and smooth. I use 2 scoops from aeropress and add water up to #3, best damn coffee ever! made it with water up to line 2 but it was way to strong. Adjust to your own taste...

Not silly at all - I asked myself that same question and I answered it by trying it. Yes, I have a cup of coffee, with milk and blackstrap molasses right after taking a 400mg SAMe with a TMG to help the SAME along. It's really helping me, I'm so surprised and pleased! Hope it works for you, give it a week or two.

Yes, I usually add some hot water to a shot of espresso & it's kind of a red eyeish coffee.

I just use hot water and a touch of dish soap. Then put the cap back on and give it a vigorous shake and dump. Then keep refilling halfway with hot water and capping/ dumping until the water empties clean. No problems with that. Just make sure to clean it after your done with the coffee so you don't go to fill it up the next day and find a surprise in there. ;)

I use it for a gluten free flour mix so I haven't tried it in coffee. I would suggest mixing a small amount of cold water and shaking it first to mix and then putting in coffee. This is the traditional method when you are trying to thicken a hot soup with cornstarch/flour. I think it should work the same.

Yep! It is perfect for bulletproof coffee. I didn't know I would like it in my coffee this much! It's my favorite way to drink coffee now.

Hi Beth, no do not wash this !!! have no idea what is in side !! best thing i can recommend is to stray/wash with as little water as possible . what did you spill on it ? coffee LOL.. think of it this way. it goes into the MICRO so 'almost self sterilizing' ; &gt; }

No. Just espresso shots. Clearly, you could add hot water to the shot to make a "regular cup of coffee". Best regards
