Can u use this instead of coconut oil in Bulletproof coffee? Does it reheat well if coffee gets cold? Can I add stevia?

I use, as well as coconut oil. I also use for smoothies, in which I use Stevia, strawberries, and coconut mik. I don't drink coffee, so I can't answer that one! But this oil is good for a high fat/low carb/moderate protein diet......stay away from carbs!!

Yes you can use this instead of coconut oil. Bulletproof coffee may include fat from various sources (mostly butters). The benefit of the MCT 100% oil is that it is simply the medium-chain triglycerides from the coconut oil, which is the form of fat your body most efficiently breaks down and uses to burn additional fat and enhance metabolism. I don't know about reheating but I see no reason why you cannot do that. Finally, you can add Stevia, but just to clarify you should not be drinking this oil by itself. You should be mixing 1 tablespoon into another liquid, which could include Stevia. Yes you can use this instead of coconut oil.

Coconut oil is probably better for long term habitual use, heating doesn't change anything, and artificial sweeteners are metabolically inert.Functionally, this product is no different than BP mct oil. Although, there might be a difference in the proportion of c8 to c10 saturated fatty acids.

Yes. It is tasteless. I wouldn't reheat coffee due to the oils in the coffee degrading.

You could probably use it instead of milk/cream. I have used it as a coffee creamer and it was good. Make the coffee and use it after it is made to make your latte using the steamer on your expresso machine.

You probably will if you use it as part of a solid weight-loss/lifestyle change regimen (i.e. diet & exercise). I use MCT oil and unsalted butter in my coffee as part of a low carb-high fat diet (Ketogenic diet). Keeps me full and full of energy in the morning. Can't directly attribute my weight loss to MCT oil but I do notice MCT oil (coconut oil, too, for cooking) is a great aid in the overall weight loss journey!!

I have been frequenting the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf retail stores for years. I like my coffee to taste like it does when I place an order at the stores. When I add milk to my coffee for a latte' I use 2 heaping tablespoons. When I add the powder to black coffee I use 3 sometimes 4 heaping tablespoons. (This is for a 16 ounce cup of coffee) It really is preference! I would play with the taste until you find what works for you. Make sure you mix it good or it will be lumpy and will also become gummy at the bottom. I use a frother which works great! You can get one on amazon. Bonjour makes a great one! This powder is not only great in hot coffee but I love to blend it with cold, strong coffee or coffee extract and ice in the blender ( sometimes with milk) and blend it, it is also great in tea and the powder adds amazing flavor to smoothies! I hope this helps you?????????

I just bought mine yesterday and that question was a huge concern for me. I just returned a Mr. Coffee Keurig machine that I paid $80 for because I was unhappy with the water/coffee temperature. I measured the temperature of the coffee sitting on the burner of my Bunn, it was 175 degrees. I was curious about this one right away, so I measured it and it comes out very hot at 178 degrees! So adding your cold creamer, milk, cream won't cool it down to lukewarm. You'll still be able to enjoy a hot cup of coffee with this machine.

I am not sure what bulletproof coffee is. I don't see a problem with hot liquids.

Yes, coconut milk powder dissolves in hot coffee. Here is the link to the company's website with more great information on coconut milk powder. http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product;_Code=CMP1&Category;_Code=conventional-coconut-milk-powder

I don't know I always drink hot coffee. What I do is use half a packet with another blend of coffee. I believe if you use it as Ice coffee it will taste good with some creamer and sugar.

I bought this as a gift for my son-in-law. I believe you can heat up the cold brew. Also, depending on how strong you like your coffee, you can dilute it with water and heat but do not boil. Technically, if you make it on the strong side, your cold brewed coffee will last longer because you will be diluting it!

The flavor is great, milder than liquid coconut milk, I have not tried it as a coffee creamer, the powder is very smooth so I am sure it does not clump up.

Rosalie, I'm not sure why your stevia powder is more grainy but mine has always had a tendency to clump and foam when added to liquids. I just keep stirring. I find it easier to use liquid stevia for sweetening coffee, tea, etc., as well as other foods that can be stirred. Try this..... put 5 level Tbs of stevia powder in a measuring cup and add enough hot water to equal about 2 liquid oz. Stir thoroughly, mash the clumps, and then microwave for about 15 sec on high. Stir again and if necessary heat it again. The solution will start out clumpy, cloudy, and foamy but in a short time it will dissolve and end up as a clear liquid just like what is sold at the health food store for $10 a bottle. From this experiment you can make adjustments to your mixture to suit your needs. It takes about 4 drops of my solution to sweeten a cup coffee to suit me. Hope this helps.

I too like strong coffee with a creamer (I know that this is bad for me). I also add a bit of coconut oil on top. The coconut oil has so may benefits. No more dry skin and hair. I purchased the Bio Coffee because a friend swears by it and gave me a sample. I use it as a substitute for strong caffinated coffee. It has a very pleasant taste and I find it quite good especially in the evening before bedtime.. It is a bit sweet. I am trying to eliminate sugar from my diet altogether. I recommend it but not as a substitute for strong black coffee unless you a trying to ween yourself from caffine. Hope this helps.

Unless you gently heat the contents of the can (as in a pan of warm to hot water -- not over a burner!) the contents are separated. There are solids, and liquids in there that need to combine. So if it is warm enough for the coconut oil to be liquid, you can shake the can to mix up the contents, and pour some out. I don't see that happening much, in our 70-75 degree homes. So remove from the can, and blend. When you add it to coffee, it will liquefy. I keep my opened coconut milk in the fridge in a wide-mouth jar. Though it doesn't last long.

In the evening when I fix my lunch for the next day, I mix up 2 shakes with 1/2 cold coffee (from the morning of that day) and 1/2 milk (as a bonus, I get my caffeine mix straight away). Sometimes I add a banana with it. I put them in the fridge and have one pre-workout as I workout in the mornings, and take the other to work that day. I have had better tasting shakes this way rather than mix straight away. I also often add a spoonful of natural peanut butter. The combinations there really taste great. The coffee gives it a mocha coffee flavor, really good! This is regular chocolate flavor, I have yet to try the chocolate peanut flavor.
