Jorge Cruise Shares the Secret to Diet Success

Oct 2nd 2022

Jorge Cruise is an expert on food and dieting, having authored over 30 bestselling books in 16 languages. As a celebrity diet advisor, he’s worked with many famous folks, as well as everyday people like you and me.

Jorge first appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show in the 90s and has since contributed to The Steve Harvey Show, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors TV, Extra TV, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Rachael Ray Show, Huffington Post, First for Women Magazine, Women's World Magazine, and the Costco Connection. He hosts the popular ZERO HUNGER GUY podcast.

Today we talk to Jorge about how he got his start, what drives him, and his secrets for losing weight and getting fit, including It’s Skinny Pasta!

WELCOME! SO, LET’S START OUT WITH THE DEEP QUESTION: WHO IS JORGE CRUISE? WHAT DO YOU DO, AND WHAT DRIVES YOU?

Jorge Cruise is a guy who figured out how to keep the weight off. I was an overweight young man, growing up in a family where sugar addiction was my way to numb myself to trauma and stress. When I got old enough to figure out that I didn’t want to be overweight, I became obsessed with figuring out the simplest way to do it.

My first book, called 8 Minutes in the Morning, struck a nerve—a couple of million people bought it. It was featured in Oprah Magazine and then in her book club, and my career expanded from there.

I went on to write more books people enjoyed; 12 million books were published. With that came a following of many folks who struggled with weight. We met, connected, and it brought me to what I do today: helping people do intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting has become my secret sauce to help people improve both their weight loss and, more importantly, their longevity.

No one has time; we all want shortcuts. So, I’ve made it my quest to give people the tools to take advantage of intermittent fasting and a low-carb lifestyle in the most accessible way possible--so they aren’t hungry.

It's Skinny became a go-to tool in our arsenal . You can eat the whole package! People love pasta, rice, and carbs. With It's Skinny, you can have your "carbs," keep the weight off, and even fast. It's like magic.

TELL US THE MOMENT WHEN YOU DECIDED ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. WHEN DID YOU START SEEING RESULTS THAT MOTIVATED YOU TO COMMIT TO MAKING LIFESTYLE CHANGES?

My mother passed away the year before I was on the Oprah show. She was in her early-60s, so super young—younger than Oprah and Steve Harvey now. It was tough because I lost her so early due to health misinformation. She would take Ibuprofen and Tylenol like candy. She had a bad hip, and she took them for pain, not knowing that if you don't drink enough fluids, they can harm your kidneys. She lost renal function. It was tough to see her pass away so young.

I wanted to help people—women like my mom who struggle with health information. I wanted to give them a way to understand wellness easily.

At the same time, I was also conquering my own weight issues, and my motivation skyrocketed. I took the lemon of my mom’s passing and made lemonade, and I’ve dedicated my entire career to my mom, Gloria. She never saw me go on the Oprah Winfrey Show, but she was the one who got me there.

LIKE YOUR MOM, MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA NOISE. WHAT ABOUT YOUR HEALTH MESSAGE RESONATES WITH PEOPLE?

Oprah once told me, "I've struggled with weight my entire life. Make it easy. Don't expect people to go through ten steps. Even three is too much. Keep it short and simple." So, for me, that became the big question: how can I make fitness simple?

I’ve made sure that whatever I'm talking about will be understandable and accessible. All 37 books I’ve written have the theme of simplicity, from 8 Minutes in the Morning to The Belly Fat Cure (carb swapping) to Cruise Control (intermittent fasting) to my new book called Zero Hunger, which will feature It’s Skinny.

Zero Hunger is the culmination of my entire shortcut system. One of my first clients was Tony Robbins. He underscored the concept of communicating complex concepts in a simple way.

My book will give people a new perspective on hunger control that doesn’t involve drugs and all the crazy things celebrities use. Many diet drugs are similar to methamphetamines. They accelerate your metabolism, but you can’t sleep at night, you’re anxious, and it’s not good for you. It might work for your class reunion or vacation—you’ll slim down and drop 20 pounds, but it comes right back.

High-fiber diets work, but most people don't enjoy them. People don't want to live off Metamucil. But you get food that’s high-fiber and delicious, like It's Skinny, and it's something people want. It’s pasta that’s part of the lifestyle.

WHAT DO PEOPLE GET WRONG ABOUT NUTRITION AND FITNESS?

The biggest misconception about weight loss is that people try to out-train a poor diet. Even I’ve been guilty of it. My first book was about an exercise plan to bolster your metabolism. Not that you can't elevate your metabolism to some degree, but it's hard to outrun a poor diet.

I’d rather people use fitness to build strength. Strong bones are even more important than muscle strength. You stand up straight, not hunched over; you're not in pain. You can pick up a box and not hurt your back.

Mental health is critical to wellness. Exercise raises dopamine levels like drugs, alcohol, or sugar. When dopamine and serotonin go up, you feel high and happy without the negatives that come from sugar, alcohol, and drugs. I’d love people to use fitness for good mental health and strength-building.

Accountability is also critical for success. Tony Robbins talks about it--you need to check in with someone at least once a week. The more you check in, the better. It might mean scheduling with a therapist, a coach, a trainer, a nutritionist, or someone honest who will tell you hard truths.

TELL US MORE ABOUT INTERMITTENT FASTING. IS IT JUST SKIPPING MEALS?

People, unfortunately, think intermittent fasting (or IF) is torture. They believe it’s literally starving yourself, it's unhealthy, and it destroys your metabolism. Shockingly, it's none of those things. Instead, it's an ancient form of time-restricted eating, mimicking our ancestors.

On my podcast, I interview many incredible people, including experts like Dr. Jason Fung , the leading doctor on IF. Under his clinical supervision, people will drop 15-20 pounds in a week. Dr. Fung gave me the confidence to do IF well.

Fasting works best to lose stored fat. Your body is very intelligent and uses stored fat for energy. IF is the most effective way to tap into that belly, thigh, chin, and arm fat. You can fast for 12 hours or go beyond to 16 or even 20 hours. Many of my clients go 20 hours with one meal a day but give themselves four hours to enjoy that meal.

Benjamin Franklin said, “ the best of all medicines is resting and fasting ." And it’s true—it's almost a cure-all. I'm not a doctor, so you should check with your medical professional before starting any diet. But I've seen people improve arthritis, headaches, chronic fatigue, bad skin, and inflammation. After 16-20 hours of not eating food, your body goes into autophagy—a state of recycling cells into the best version of yourself. As a result, you'll lose weight easily!

The hardest part of IF is turning "off" hunger. My solution is Zero Hunger Water , coming out late fall as a ready-to-drink product. It's an electrolyte drink with the proper ratio of minerals that acts like an appetite suppressant. It improves blood volume. When your blood volume increases, you feel full, and the phantom hunger disappears.

You can even make Zero Hunger Water yourself at home. I have a masterclass on how to make the water, and I give out the recipe for free—it’s ¼ of a teaspoon of salt in 32 ounces of water. Then you can add magnesium and potassium. You can sweeten the water with stevia or monk fruit. You drink that and follow the IF meal plans.

IF success is just two steps. First, you replace two meals with Zero Hunger Water. Then you enjoy a sensible meal each day--that’s where It’s Skinny comes in.

My go-to meal is protein with It's Skinny pasta . I love steak or chicken with a little salt. I look for fattier, darker cuts like ribeye and have it with my It's Skinny Pasta, and my body feels great! It's getting all the nutrients it needs and has almost 24 hours to digest the protein and fiber.

The people who live the longest are lean . The bigger you are, the harder it is to live longer. With IF, you maintain the slim figure you want and enjoy a longer, healthier life. It’s a miracle, in my opinion. And we have many tools for hunger control, including Zero Hunger Water and It's Skinny Pasta.

WHY IS IT'S SKINNY A CRUCIAL PART OF THE ZERO HUNGER PLAN?

When people fast, they want their meals to be delicious and worth it. As much as I encourage them to eat high protein, high-fat foods, people want carbs. It's Skinny satisfies those cravings .

Most of us are busy too. When I talk to celebrities like Tony Robbins, Kelly Ripa, and Cher, they want shortcuts and easy ways to keep in shape.

My number one tip for most people is to eat good protein and find a carb you like. For most, the top carb is pasta. It's Skinny is now part of all of our meal plans. You can have a bowl of pasta with creamy butter, salt, and pepper, and it’s like you didn’t eat a thing. It’s a cheat. I call it a “Zero Hunger cheat.”

You won't even break your fast if you eat It's Skinny without protein or too much fat, because there’s no carbs or sugars. Many of my clients do a three-day fast monthly and use It's Skinny for those days so they don’t break their fast. It’s delicious, satisfying, and filling.

It's Skinny offers endless possibilities for customization. It fixes the issue of carb cravings with a guilt-free plant-based pasta . There are no negative consequences. It's every dieter's dream! I'm hoping people like Oprah, Gail King, Tyra Banks, the Real Housewives—all the women I've worked with—will try it.

If you try It's Skinny, I know you’ll love it too! With It's Skinny, you can follow the Zero Hunger Plan easily. Enjoy the results and get a healthy body that you’ll feel proud of.

I believe in It's Skinny so much that I'm offering people FREE PASTA on me ! Want to know how to claim your FREE PASTA? When you buy 3 boxes of ANY It's Skinny Pasta, you get ONE free box, on me.

If you’re on the hunt for a morning pick-me-up that’s not your average cup of joe, bulletproof coffee might just be your new go-to. This creamy concoction isn’t just a treat for your taste buds; it’s designed to fuel your brain and body, making it a favorite among keto enthusiasts and productivity seekers alike.

You’ve probably heard whispers of coffee blended with butter, but what’s the real scoop behind this trendy beverage? In this article, you’ll learn the ins and outs of bulletproof coffee, from its brain-boosting benefits to a step-by-step guide on crafting the perfect cup. Whether you’re a keto veteran or simply curious, get ready to elevate your coffee game.

What is Bulletproof Coffee?

Table of Contents

Bulletproof coffee isn’t just your ordinary morning brew; it’s a concoction specifically engineered to kickstart your day with a burst of energy and mental clarity. At its core are three essential ingredients that set it apart from your regular cup of joe:

• High-quality coffee beans, specially selected for purity
• Brain Octane C8 MCT oil, a type of medium-chain triglyceride extracted from coconut oil
• Grass-fed ghee, a clarified butter rich in omega-3 and vitamins

The Synergy of Ingredients

While each ingredient boasts its own benefits, when combined, they work synergistically to fuel your brain and body differently than traditional coffee. Here’s how they contribute:

• Coffee Beans: Caffeine enhances alertness and focus.
• MCT Oil: Provides sustained energy without the crash.
• Ghee: Offers essential fats for brain function and satiety.

Nutritional Profile

Understanding the nutritional impact of bulletproof coffee is crucial to integrating it into your diet effectively. Here are the essentials:

Bulletproof coffee is renowned among keto dieters due to its high fat content and almost nonexistent carb count, aligning perfectly with the keto way of eating which encourages high fat, moderate protein, and low carbohydrate intake.

A Staple for Many

Whether it’s the ready-to-go cans for drinkers on the move or the homemade recipe embraced by keto cookbook authors, bulletproof coffee has carved out a niche as a beloved staple in many health-conscious circles. Its customizable nature allows individuals to tailor it to their tastes, such as adding keto-friendly coffee syrups for a sweet twist without the sugar.

For an in-depth tutorial on creating this powerful elixir at home, check out a step-by-step guide here . If you’re more visually inclined, there’s a wealth of instructional videos available online that demonstrate the process to ensure your bulletproof coffee is as efficacious as it is delicious.

The Science Behind Bulletproof Coffee

MCT Oil: The Secret Ingredient

You’ve probably heard of MCT oil, but you might not know that it’s the power-packed secret ingredient in bulletproof coffee. Standing for medium-chain triglycerides, this special type of fat fuels your brain and body differently than other fats. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

• Rapid Energy : MCTs are metabolized quickly, offering you almost instant energy.
• Ketone Production : MCT oil may boost ketone production, which can provide more energy for your brain.
• Appetite Suppression : Helps control hunger, which can be a powerful ally in weight management.

To get started with MCT oil, begin with a small dose to see how your body reacts, and gradually increase to the recommended amount.

Grass-fed Butter: The Healthier Choice

When you opt for grass-fed butter in your bulletproof coffee, you’re not just choosing flavor – you’re choosing health. Grass-fed butter is:

• Rich in Nutrients : Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
• Anti-inflammatory : Helps reduce inflammation, potentially easing joint pain.
• Gut Health Supporting : Contains butyric acid, which can benefit your gut health.

Remember, while grass-fed butter adds a creamy richness to your cup, it’s important to consider overall dietary needs and consult with a health professional if you have specific concerns.

A study notes that grass-fed butter contains less saturated fat and more polyunsaturated fat than regular butter. These characteristics are generally a boon to heart health, according to the American Heart Association (AHA). https://www.everydayhealth.com/diet-nutrition/grass-fed-butter-vs-regular-butter-whats-the-difference/

Coffee and Caffeine: The Energizing Properties

Coffee isn’t just a morning ritual; it’s a powerhouse of energizing effects. Bulletproof coffee takes this to the next level with:

• Sustained Energy : The combination of caffeine and quality fats leads to extended energy release.
• Enhanced Performance : Caffeine may improve various aspects of brain function, including memory, mood, and reaction times.
• Metabolic Support : Regular consumption of caffeine can boost the metabolic rate and aid in fat burning.

Though caffeine is a well-known stimulant offering numerous benefits, individual responses can vary. It’s essential to pay attention to your body’s signals when it comes to caffeine intake.

How to Make the Perfect Cup of Bulletproof Coffee

Choosing the Right Coffee Beans

When selecting coffee beans for your Bulletproof Coffee, the type of roast is pivotal in determining the flavor profile and caffeine content. Light roasts , high in caffeine and acidity, offer vibrant flavors, while dark roasts yield a deeper, less acidic cup. To get started:

• Opt for a Swiss Water processed decaf for a chemical-free, lower caffeine option if desired.
• Freshness is key, so choose whole beans and grind them just before brewing.
• Consider the origin for specific flavor notes: single-origin beans provide unique tastes, from fruity to chocolatey undertones.

The caffeine content varies by roast:

Remember, your personal taste determines the best bean for your cup of Bulletproof Coffee. Seek out beans that meet your flavor preferences and pair well with the richness of MCT oil and grass-fed butter.

Brewing Techniques for Bulletproof Coffee

Achieving the perfect brew quality complements the rich additives in Bulletproof Coffee. The proper technique enhances the coffee’s natural flavors and ensures a smooth blend with MCT oil and grass-fed butter. Here’s how to get the most from your brewing process:

• Utilize French press , pourover , or percolator methods for a robust flavor profile.
• Use a fine grind for espresso machines.
• Opt for a medium grind for most other brewing methods.

Adding the Right Amount of MCT Oil and Grass-fed Butter

Balancing fat content is crucial for the authentic Bulletproof experience. Start with a tablespoon of grass-fed butter and a teaspoon of MCT oil to gauge how your body responds. If it suits your tastes and dietary needs, you can increase to two tablespoons of each. Follow this simple blueprint for your perfect blend:

• Once brewed, blend your coffee with these fats until a creamy consistency is achieved.

As you refine your Bulletproof Coffee-making skills, use the bullet points as a quick reference guide to crafting a cup that’s both energizing and can fit seamlessly into your morning ritual. Remember to listen to your body’s cues and adapt the recipe to align with your personal health goals and taste preferences.

At 300 calories per serving , Bulletproof coffee is designed to replace a carbrich breakfast and may help support your weight management goals when paired with a keto or low-carb diet.

• Incorporate Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil , a highly potent form of MCT, known for its ability to support mental performance.
• Time your coffee consumption to when your cortisol levels are lower, typically around mid-morning.

Bulletproof Coffee with Flavor Additions

You don’t have to forgo flavor just because you’re following a keto lifestyle. While maintaining the base of high-quality coffee and grass-fed fats, you can explore the realm of flavor additions. Here are some popular variations:

• Bulletproof Mocha : Combine unsweetened cocoa powder and your keto-friendly sweetener to create a rich mocha flavor.
• Spice It Up : Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, turmeric, or high-quality salt for an aromatic twist.
• Extra Toppings : Garnish your brew with keto whipped cream or sugar-free syrups for that coffee-shop touch.

Benefits of Drinking Bulletproof Coffee

Bulletproof coffee is more than just your average morning brew. It’s a beverage that combines unique ingredients with potential health benefits. But, to truly harness these advantages, it helps to know when and how to incorporate this drink into your day.

Bulletproof coffee not only  gives you energy but also supports your digestive health, helps you manage your blood sugar, and aids in weight loss . Maybe putting butter in coffee sounds a little strange or unpalatable to you. Nevertheless, we recommend that you try it at least once and see how you feel. https://wellhealthcenters.com/health-benefits-of-bulletproof-coffee

What’s the Best Time of Day to Have a Bulletproof Coffee?

The timing of your bulletproof coffee can impact its effectiveness. Here’s a quick rundown on when might be the most beneficial time to enjoy your cup:

• Early Morning: If you’re an early riser, sipping on bulletproof coffee first thing can kickstart your day. Although your body’s cortisol levels peak between 8-9 AM, waiting a bit may enhance the effects of caffeine.
• Pre-Workout: For those who hit the gym in the morning, bulletproof coffee can be a great pre-workout drink due to its high-fat content, which provides sustained energy.
• Midday Slump: If you tend to experience an afternoon energy dip, a bulletproof coffee can offer a pick-me-up without the sugar crash associated with carby snacks.

Experts suggest that having bulletproof coffee can help:

• Boost Metabolism: The combination of caffeine and healthy fats may assist in increasing metabolism throughout your day.
• Promote Feelings of Fullness: The high-calorie content can lead to increased satiety, reducing the likelihood of snacking.

Remember, while bulletproof coffee can be a beneficial addition to your diet, it’s essential to listen to your body and adjust accordingly. If you’re considering bulletproof coffee as a meal replacement or a regular part of your diet, it’s a good idea to consult with a nutrition expert to ensure it aligns with your overall health goals and dietary needs.

Bulletproof Coffee Recipe

Bulletproof coffee is named after the coffee company that developed the drink. It is also called butter coffee or keto coffee. Designed as a liquid breakfast, this simple mix of freshly brewed coffee, butter, and MCT oil is a popular option for people who fat-fast or follow a paleo or keto diet.

Founder David Asprey created this coffee recipe to promote Bulletproof Coffee in 2011. The theory is that blending grass-fed unsalted butter and MCT oil into your coffee can take the place of breakfast food. The added fats satiate the appetite, leaving you full and energized, ready to take on the day. As a bonus, butter coffee fans say it helps with mental clarity and eliminates mid-morning caffeine crash that many coffee drinkers know all too well.

The Spruce/Diana Chistruga

The Bulletproof coffee recipe is very straightforward: brew coffee, then toss it in the blender with a bit of butter and MCT oil. The result is rich, slightly oily coffee with a creaminess similar to cappuccino and golden crema-like float on top. To make it even better, skip the drip coffee maker and brew an outstanding, boldly flavored coffee with pour-over, French press, or percolator brewers.

As Asprey has noted multiple times, you'll want to ease into the additives to see how they'll affect your system. Start with a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of MCT oil. If you like, gradually increase either to two tablespoons over a few days or weeks, following your body's tolerance and personal taste.

You can easily double the recipe for two people, though it is filling, so a serving each day is likely enough for one person. It's also fun to experiment with variations. For instance, switch to cold brew coffee, add sugar-free sweeteners, or create chocolate, vanilla, or other flavored versions of Bulletproof coffee.

"Part of keto and paleo diet trends, this bulletproof coffee recipe delivers a rich, creamy, delicious hot coffee drink with lots of healthy fats from the grass-fed butter and MCT oil. Bulletproof coffee is thought to boost energy, keep hunger at bay, and promote mental clarity. Since it's also delicious it's definitely worth a try!" —Joan Velush

Ingredients

1 cup ( 8 - ounces ) hot, freshly brewed black coffee

1 to 2 tablespoons grass-fed unsalted butter or ghee, or to taste

1 to 2 teaspoons MCT oil, or to taste

Steps to Make It

Gather the ingredients.

In a blender, combine the coffee, butter, and MCT oil. Blend for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and frothy. Serve immediately.

Blender Warning

In a blender, hot ingredients can quickly create steam that may cause burns or splatter all over your kitchen. This is easily preventable: Avoid filling the blender more than one-third of the way and vent the top while covering it with a folded kitchen towel.

• If you don't want to pull out a blender every morning, use a milk frother.
• For a quieter morning experience, whisk the coffee in a bowl until the butter melts. Add the MCT oil and continue to whisk until the coffee gets frothy. Pour into a cup and enjoy.

Recipe Variations

• Make cold-brew coffee , blend it with the butter and MCT oil, then serve it over ice for a refreshing iced coffee alternative.
• Ghee (clarified butter) is a good alternative to grass-fed butter. Though it isn't as creamy and has a nuttier flavor, it is delicious in this coffee recipe and contains similar nutrients.
• Sweeten your butter coffee with your favorite sugar-free sweetener ( keto simple syrup is an excellent choice).
• Add flavor with a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, flavored protein powder, or a sugar-free syrup (almond, caramel, chocolate, and hazelnut are perfect pairings for coffee). Alternatively, blend in 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

How to Store

We don't recommend storing your bulletproof coffee. Instead, enjoy in the moment, as you would any coffee in order to experience the fullest flavor.

What Is MCT Oil?

MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil is derived from coconut or palm kernel oil. It's a popular dietary supplement that is said to help burn fat; the fat is absorbed directly by the liver and converted into energy rather quickly. Not only does this provide a boost of energy, but studies suggest that it helps people feel full, which decreases the appetite and may lead to weight loss. MCT oil is sold alongside other diet supplements in supermarkets, health food stores, and is available online. You'll find it in capsules, but the bottled liquid is much easier to add to food and drinks.

Is Grass-Fed Butter Healthier?

Several studies have examined the nutritional content of butter produced from cows raised in pastures compared to feedlot cattle. The milk and butter from dairy cattle who eat more grass, alfalfa, and similar foods in the field contain significantly higher levels of beneficial fatty acids (namely, conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA, and Omega-3). In human diets, CLA is thought to have weight-loss and anti-inflammatory benefits, while Omega-3s are an energy source necessary for a healthy body and brain.

How to Make the Perfect Bulletproof Coffee Recipe at Home

I've been on a quest to perfect my morning routine, and I stumbled upon something that's been a game-changer: bulletproof coffee. It's not just any coffee; it's a creamy, energising blend that's taken my mornings from zero to hero. The best part? You can whip it up in your own kitchen, no fancy coffee shop required.

Here's what to expect

The Origins of Bulletproof Coffee

Discovering bulletproof coffee was a game-changer for my morning routine. Before diving into the simplicity of making this creamy delight, let's take a quick look at its fascinating origins. Bulletproof coffee was pioneered by entrepreneur Dave Asprey, inspired by a rejuvenating tea he encountered in Tibet. He experimented with the concept, eventually substituting tea with coffee and adding unique ingredients like unsalted butter and MCT oil, leading to the version many of us love today.

Not only did this combination sound odd at first, but the idea of butter in coffee instead of traditional cream and sugar was downright revolutionary. Yet, the benefits were too compelling to ignore. The blend of high-quality coffee with these high-fat additions was intended to kickstart the day with improved energy levels and mental clarity, factors I was keen to experience firsthand.

I'd read enough about the concoction’s alleged benefits , such as increased focus and suppressed hunger, and decided it was time to experiment. This brings us to the surprisingly simple process of making bulletproof coffee, a method I've refined in my own kitchen without needing a trip to a specialty café.

Here's the bulletproof coffee recipe I swear by:

• Ingredients :
• 1 cup of hot, freshly brewed coffee
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted, grass-fed butter
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of MCT oil or coconut oil
• Brew a cup of your favourite coffee - the quality of the coffee plays a significant role in the final taste.
• Pour the hot coffee into a blender.
• Add the unsalted butter and MCT oil. If you're new to this, start with the lower end of the servings and adjust to your liking over time.
• Blend for about 30 seconds or until the mixture becomes creamy and frothy, resembling a latte.
• Pour into your favourite mug and enjoy immediately.

The Benefits of Bulletproof Coffee

After my adventure into brewing my first mug of bulletproof coffee, I delved into the purported benefits to see if the hype holds up. From mental clarity to sustained energy levels , the claims are as bold as the coffee itself. And yes, there's science to back some of these up.

First off, the high fat content, especially from sources like unsalted butter and MCT oil , plays a pivotal role. These fats are not just any fats; they're known for their ability to provide quick energy without the crash. Unlike carbs that spike your blood sugar, fats offer a more stable energy source , keeping you alert and focused for hours.

Secondly, there's the aspect of weight management . Now, I was sceptical at first. How can a beverage high in fats aid in losing weight? Turns out, the fats in bulletproof coffee can help you feel fuller for longer, reducing the need to snack and potentially lowering your overall calorie intake.

Moreover, MCT oil isn't just any fat; it has properties that can increase the metabolic rate . A faster metabolism means your body burns calories at a quicker rate, aiding in weight loss efforts. But remember, moderation is key. Loading your coffee with too much butter or oil can do more harm than good.

One of the most intriguing benefits I found was its impact on mental performance . The combination of caffeine with butter and MCT oil can lead to better focus and concentration. This is partly because fats are a more consistent energy source and partly because MCT oil can cross the blood-brain barrier, providing your brain with rapid fuel.

Incorporating bulletproof coffee into my morning routine wasn't just about trying something new; it was about experiencing these benefits firsthand. The sustained energy, the fuller feeling leading to fewer snacks, and more importantly, the sharp focus I felt was undeniable. However, it's important to listen to your body and adjust portions to suit your dietary needs and goals.

How to Make Bulletproof Coffee

Discovering the magic of bulletproof coffee has genuinely transformed my mornings. It's not just a drink; it's a ritual that sets the pace for my day. I'd love to share how simple it is to make this energy-boosting beverage. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to incorporate into your daily routine.

What You'll Need:

• Freshly brewed hot coffee (1 cup)
• Unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee (1-2 tablespoons)
• MCT oil (1 tablespoon)
• Brew Your Coffee: Start with one cup of hot, freshly brewed coffee. Quality matters here, so I opt for single-origin, organic beans that I grind just before brewing. This ensures a rich and full-flavoured base.
• Add the Fats: To the hot coffee, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee. Then, introduce 1 tablespoon of MCT oil. It's these ingredients that give bulletproof coffee its signature creamy texture and energy-boosting properties.
• Blend It Up: Now, the most crucial step—blending. Pour the coffee, butter, and MCT oil mixture into a blender. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until the coffee looks frothy and creamy, similar to a latte.
• Enjoy Immediately: Pour the blended coffee into your favourite mug and enjoy immediately. The frothy top is particularly satisfying, and the rich, creamy texture is unlike any other coffee I've had.

Integrating bulletproof coffee into my morning routine has been a game-changer for me. Not only does it provide the mental clarity and sustained energy levels I mentioned earlier, but it's also a delicious way to start the day. Remember, like with all dietary changes, it's key to listen to your body and adjust proportions or ingredients to suit your health and taste preferences.

Variations to Try

After incorporating bulletproof coffee into my morning ritual, I've experimented with several variations. Each tweak can tailor the coffee to your personal taste or nutritional goals. Here are a few favourites of mine you might want to try.

1. Vanilla Cinnamon Bulletproof Coffee

Adding a dash of vanilla and cinnamon doesn't just elevate the flavour; these spices can also add their own health benefits.

• Brew 1 cup of high-quality coffee
• Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee
• Include 1 tablespoon of MCT oil
• Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• Sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon to taste
• Blend until creamy and frothy

Vanilla adds a soothing aroma and flavour, while cinnamon can help regulate blood sugar levels.

2. Protein-Packed Bulletproof Coffee

For those mornings when I anticipate a more intense workout or need an extra protein boost, adding collagen peptides does the trick.

• Prepare 1 cup of high-quality coffee
• Blend in 1 tablespoon of unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee
• Add 1 tablespoon of MCT oil
• Include 1-2 scoops of collagen peptides powder
• Blend until smooth and frothy

Collagen peptides can support skin, hair, nail health, and joint function.

3. Coconut Cream Bulletproof Coffee

I’ll opt for coconut cream when I'm in the mood for a richer, more dessert-like version.

• Mix in 1 tablespoon of MCT oil
• Include 1 tablespoon of unsweetened coconut cream
• Blend until well combined and creamy

The coconut cream not only provides a luxurious texture but also infuses the coffee with a subtle tropical flavour.

Experimenting with these variations has taught me there's immense flexibility in making bulletproof coffee. Adjust the ingredients and proportions according to your dietary needs and flavour preferences. Whether it's adding a flavour twist or boosting the nutritional profile, there's a variation out there for everyone.

Tips for the Perfect Cup

Crafting the perfect cup of bulletproof coffee may seem straightforward, but it's the little touches that elevate it from good to unforgettable. Through my journey of endless cups, I've pinpointed a few tried-and-tested tips that guarantee a cup that's not just a routine but a revelation. Trust me, getting these right transforms your experience.

Start with Quality Ingredients

Quality can't be overstated. The foundation of bulletproof coffee - coffee beans and butter - should be the best you can source. I always opt for:

• Single-origin, organic coffee beans: They're less likely to be contaminated with mycotoxins, ensuring a cleaner cup. Plus, they just taste better.
• Grass-fed butter: It's richer in Omega-3s and vitamins than its grain-fed counterparts. The difference in taste and texture is palpable.

Get the Ratios Right

Balance is key. The classic bulletproof recipe is a blend of coffee, butter, and MCT oil. Here's the ratio I swear by:

• 1 cup of hot coffee
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of grass-fed butter
• 1 tablespoon of MCT oil

Feel free to tweak these amounts to suit your taste but keep them within a similar range to maintain that velvety texture bulletproof coffee is celebrated for.

Blend, Don't Stir

The magic happens in the blender. Pouring your mixture into a blender and giving it a good whirl for about 30 seconds not only mixes the ingredients thoroughly but also introduces air, making your coffee delightfully frothy. Plus, it ensures the oil and butter emulsify properly with the coffee, preventing any oil slicks on the surface.

Mastering the art of the perfect cup of bulletproof coffee doesn't require barista-level expertise, just a bit of attention to detail and a willingness to experiment with what tastes best to you. With the right ingredients, proportions, and blending technique, you're well on your way to crafting a cup that not only energizes but also satisfies with every sip.

Mastering the perfect bulletproof coffee is a journey worth embarking on. With the guidance I've shared, you're now equipped to start your day with a cup that's not just satisfying but also packed with energy. Remember, the secret lies in the quality of your ingredients and the precision of your method. Don't shy away from experimenting to find your ideal balance and texture. Here's to many mornings of delicious, frothy bulletproof coffee that not only tastes great but also fuels your day. Happy brewing!

Is butter coffee or Bulletproof® coffee good for weight loss?

No, it's not. Sure, if you drink butter coffee or the so called Bulletproof® coffee instead of having breakfast you might lose some weight. But you'd likely lose even more weight with a breakfast consisting of only black coffee (or just a little milk), i.e. intermittent fasting .

Here's an article on the subject: Is drinking coffee with butter and oil the key to weight loss?

The main benefits of butter coffee are long-lasting satiety and energy, and possibly a feeling of mental clarity (due to ketones, and the caffeine).Why add butter and oil to your coffee?

The fat provides satiety and helps curb cravings. The amount of fat can be adjusted to your liking. It can be a good idea to start off with a small amount, lets say a teaspoon, of MCT oil and work your way up to a full tablespoon if you feel good doing so. Some people experience stomach problems if adding too much oil at once.

The fat together with the caffeine from the coffee will give you a boost of energy to start your day. If caffeine isn't your thing, go ahead and try it with decaf. It won't give you quite the same effect but you will still have a great-tasting and filling drink.

MCT oil can be ordered online, but if you don't want to use it or can't find it, try unflavored coconut oil instead.

Make this recipe your own by adding your favorite flavors to it. Add some unsweetened cocoa powder and you'll have a butter mocha. Or why not try some cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice . If you feel like adding sweetness to your coffee, check out our guide to keto sweeteners .

This recipe works with hot tea or even bone broth , too, so give it a try. Or if chocolate is your thing, try our keto hot chocolate ... a very low-carb morning indulgence!

• 201 Kandice June 23 2019 Hello. I IF 16:8. My window to eat is 12p-8p, fast from 8pm -12p. I am also vegetarian & will follow the vegetarian Keto plan. Is is okay for the Bullet Proof coffee to be my first “meal” at 12pm to break my fast? Next meal would be around 3:30-4, and last meal by 8pm. Reply: #203

Can anybody tell me if they worked out the first week and just focused on the diet first to lose weight? I don't want overwhelm myself but just the first two weeks stay on top of the meals until I get use to it. Thanks

I have not worked out at all and have lost 31 lbs over just a few months (and truth be told 'cheat' way too much with family things like birthdays and holidays). As of right now I feel I'm still too overweight to work out and not feel like I'm dying! lAnd while I can majorly feel the difference since losing the weight, I think once I lose another 20-30 I'll feel good enough to start working out, at that point I'm fully expecting the weight to just melt off. My son will graduate from his Special Forces training in Dec, and I want him to be as proud of me as I am of him on that day! :)

Results are going to vary from person to person. If you are happy with the success that you are seeing, then this could work well for you!

• 204 Juliet Somers July 9 2019 I went to the site you suggested for MCT oil ( which I've never heard off before as I'm new to Keto) but read on the page that it's either made from coconut oil or palm oil.

• 207 Reply to comment #157 by Bridgette Jade October 24 2019 Hi Bridgette, I tried working out and ended up feeling very light headed and dizzy. I think for the first week, your body is already adjusting to ketosis so it may not be the best idea. But everyone is different! I went straight in with my weights routine... maybe something lighter wouldn't have made me feel so ill

While your body gets used to the keto, its best to take it easy, and maybe just go through the motions (just so you don't lose your momentum) and you will know when to push yourself again. Good luck!

• 222 Reply to comment #217 by Lois Una September 19 2020 Absolutely not, sadly. It is full of sugar, full of carbs and = apart from about four small strawberries on pancakes for breakfast, very few berries - just not allowed. Snacking is discouraged as well. Best to stick to a meal plan to see if the Keto diet suits you. You'll ever be hungry, and I ant even eat all that is allowed in a day. I now tend to skip breakfast altogether - a occasional butter/bullet coffee, which Tom Watson, oe of our British politicians sweas by. He lost absolute stones on this Keto diet - Google him! There is a very good article on here, DD, somewhere about the 'evils' of fruit and the amount of carbs in it all and sugar.

• 226 DEBORAH July 12 2021 I was initially appalled at the idea of bullet proof coffee, but tried it and now I'm a convert. I add some cream to mine and find it is a great way to get an extra boost to get into solid ketosis, and can gear up to do one meal a day or a 24 - 48 hr fast using BP coffee for a meal because it is so so satiating with zero carbs. It has no real nutrition so not something you want to do a lot of, but a handy tool to wean yourself off food "addictions" on a path to intermittent fasting.

• 233 Rachel Stevens February 20 2023 If you've never used MTC oil before, start small. I would suggest 1/2 a tsp and work your way up to larger amounts. You may find yourself running to the restroom if you start at 1 tbs!

Coffee Beans

What makes bulletproof coffee beans different.

Our 100% arabica coffee beans go through several steps of specialty sourcing and quality control before they arrive in your kitchen ready to brew.

First, they are hand-picked from small farms in Central and South America. We only use sustainably sourced coffee from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. Rainforest Alliance Certified farms implement more sustainable practices to protect fair wages, workers’ rights and our environment. Our hand-picking and expert sorting ensure that only the highest quality beans make it into your coffee.

Some packaged coffees are contaminated with mold toxins during storage and transportation. We go above and beyond industry standards with our quality testing. That’s why we test every batch of our coffee beans for mold toxins and heavy metals.

Lastly, our coffee beans earn the specialty coffee grading based on the cup score test evaluation from the Specialty Coffee Association. The Specialty Coffee Association is a nonprofit that helps establish a global standard for coffee value.

Quality matters in every step of the process. Does it make the process longer? Yes. Does it cost us more? Yes. Is it worth it? Always.

Tested for Toxins

Toxins don’t belong in your coffee. That’s why we opt into additional testing for toxins on every batch of our sustainably sourced green coffee beans.

Never jittery. Just great taste and focused energy from this coffee. I don't drink anything else if I have a choice.

Sustainably Sourced From Small Farms

Bulletproof coffee beans are hand-picked and sustainably sourced from small farms that give back to their local communities.

It's a pleasure to drink. It’s ethically sourced. It’s a win-win for the producers, the environment and the consumer.

Rainforest Alliance Certified

We source our coffee beans from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms that implement more sustainable practices to protect fair wages, workers’ rights and our environment.

I am extra pleased to see this brand of Arabica coffee is so smooth and sweet, and best yet, is harvested with sustainable methods, partnered with Rainforest Alliance.

Expertly Roasted

Our coffee beans are expertly blended and roasted for rich, premium flavor.

Best coffee, period. Excellent flavor, no bitterness or acidity. Tastes pure and simple like an excellent cup.

What to Know About Toxins in Coffee

If you drink coffee daily, you should care about the quality of your beans for more than just the flavor. Packaged coffee can contain mold toxins and heavy metals.

Common coffee contaminants include mold toxins like ochratoxin A and aflatoxins. [1][2][3] Coffee contamination can happen at multiple stages of the production process, from growing to storage. [4][5]

We process our coffee using wet methods, which more effectively eliminate most mold toxins than dry processing methods. [6] Our coffee is thoroughly dried in the sun or using mechanical dryers, reducing the risk of mold growth.

Every batch of our coffee beans is independently tested for mold toxins. This testing process matters because it reduces your exposure to toxins.

Quality control for our coffee is our highest priority to ensure that your coffee makes you feel as good as it tastes.

The Bulletproof Clean Coffee Process

What Does Rainforest Alliance Certified Mean?

Our coffee beans come from Rainforest Alliance (RFA) Certified farms. When a farm is RFA certified it means that independent auditors evaluate the farms we source from with three key factors in mind: social, economic and environmental impact.

To earn Rainforest Alliance certification, farms must meet certain sustainability standards. These standards fight against the climate crisis, conserve our forests, protect human rights and improve farmers’ livelihoods.

We partner with the Rainforest Alliance to support people and nature thriving together. When you purchase Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, you support practices that benefit the environment, give back to local farming communities and ensure sustainable operations.

Bulletproof Coffee

Keto white russian, keto iced coffee protein shake, coffee panna cotta, how to make bulletproof coffee.

You might have heard that light roast and dark roast beans have different levels of caffeine. This isn’t quite true.

The size of a coffee bean changes the longer it’s roasted. Light roast beans are smaller and denser than dark roast beans. If you measure your light roast coffee with a scoop or tablespoon, you might end up with more coffee per scoop — and therefore (slightly) more caffeine. If you want to keep your caffeine consistent across different roasts, measure your beans by weight instead of volume.

Store your beans in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature.

As a coffee term, acidity refers to bright, tangy, fruity or wine-like flavors in coffee beans. It has nothing to do with the amount of acid, or pH.

Coffee contains five major naturally occurring acids. The average cup of black coffee has a pH of about 5, making it mildly acidic. If you’re sensitive to acid or looking for low-acid coffee, try darker roasts or decaf.

Absolutely. If you want to use Bulletproof coffee beans to make espresso, we recommend our medium-dark roast, The Mentalist — but it’s up to personal preference.

We recommend using a method that preserves the coffee’s natural oils. These contribute to the flavor and antioxidant profile of your brew. [8] Try a French press with glass and steel components.

Direct trade means we buy our coffee directly from growers, without going through middlemen. This allows us to build relationships directly with our farmers.

Ground coffee can lose its freshness faster than whole bean coffee because there’s more surface area exposed to air after grinding. Store your ground coffee in an airtight container to get the most flavor out of your brew.

For the freshest and most flavorful cup of coffee, buy your beans whole and grind them right before you brew them. This step maintains the fragrance and complexities of the coffee bean flavor.

There isn’t a significant caffeine difference in any of the Bulletproof roasts (besides decaf, obviously). However, the way you prepare your coffee can influence caffeine levels. In general, you’ll get more caffeine out of an espresso shot than a cup of coffee from a drip machine.

If you want the strongest coffee in terms of flavor, try darker roasts. These coffee beans have more robust flavor profiles that naturally develop from their longer roasting process. French Kick is a smooth and sweet dark roast with smoky chocolate notes. The Mentalist is a medium-dark roast with dark cocoa and vanilla aromatics, cherry sweetness and notes of almond and caramel. Try them in whole bean, ground or single-serve pods.

Yes. All Bulletproof coffee beans take well to butter but stand just as well on their own. Check out this blog post for other coffee add-ins to enhance your morning brew.

You can use your preferred coffee beans, but your results may vary. At Bulletproof, we carefully control and test our coffee beans for mold toxins. This reduces your exposure to the mold toxins that can be found in lower-quality, mass-market coffee beans.

We’re proud of our attention to detail. But there’s no guarantee that other companies have the same standards that we do. The official Bulletproof Coffee recipe uses Bulletproof coffee beans because they’re certified clean and tested for toxins. That means peace of mind, plus delicious and flavorful coffee beans you can feel good about drinking every day.

It depends on how much you use. However, if you were to use the standard 2 ½ heaping tablespoons of coffee per cup, a 12-ounce bag would make roughly 18 cups of coffee.

For maximum flavor, use an opened bag of coffee within 3 to 4 weeks. Bulletproof coffee beans are best enjoyed within two weeks of receipt. To preserve freshness for as long as possible, store your coffee beans in an opaque, airtight container at room temperature.

Bulletproof Coffee is not vacuum sealed. We package it in multi-layer foil bags that contain a one-way valve that allows the freshly roasted coffee to de-gas while minimizing oxidative degradation. Our coffee is bagged directly after it is roasted to maximize its freshness. This is not a standard practice for commercially available coffee and will cause inflation on occasion, but this does not affect the quality of the coffee whatsoever.

The Cruise Control Diet: Automate Your Diet and Conquer Weight Loss Forever Audible Audiobook – Abridged

Activate your weight-loss autopilot - use the power of simple intermittent fasting to lose the pounds and keep them off, from Hollywood trainer and number-one New York Times best-selling author Jorge Cruise.

Timing is everything when it comes to losing weight. Or, as celebrity trainer Jorge Cruise explains: When we eat is as important as what we eat. Building on the scientifically proven but hard-to-sustain day-on, day-off technique known as “intermittent fasting”, Cruise has developed a revolutionary master plan that simplifies your calendar and eliminates between-meal hunger. He divides every day into two easy-to-remember nutritional zones: a 16-hour evening and overnight “burn zone” ( semi -fasting) followed by an eight-hour “boost zone” (eating). Ingeniously, his plan also includes “bumper foods” that can be consumed in either zone - around the clock - to keep you satiated and burning fat throughout. You’ll never be hungry if you don’t really ever have to fully fast!

Backed by the very latest research and client-tested for optimal results, The Cruise Control Diet unlocks the key to dramatic results with:

• Recipes for deliciously unexpected boost-zone foods such as portobello mini pizzas, zoodle spaghetti and meatballs, sheet pan salmon and asparagus, and even almond butter cookies
• High-fat, no-sugar burn-zone recipes for craving-quenching foods like double chocolate fudge mousse and vanilla chai tea latte
• Weekly menus and handy grocery lists to take the guesswork out of the equation
• Candid testimonials from Cruise’s clients and test-panel participants
• An optional burn-zone exercise program with instructional photos

With The Cruise Control Diet , you’ll automate your diet and finally conquer weight-loss forever!

Featuring a foreword by Brooke Burke and an introduction by Jason Fung, MD

Read by the Author, with additional narration by Kris Koscheski and Elizabeth Wiley; and with the Foreword and the Introduction read by their Authors

11 Best Coffee Shops in Moscow

Where is the most invigorating coffee in Moscow, the most airy pastry? What place is a mecca for coffee tourists? What coffee do locals drink? We selected 11 best coffee shops in Moscow  that we take out tourists to on our tours in Moscow. By the way, Russia became a full member of the International Coffee Organization in March 2015. Let’s go celebrate it in one of the coffee shops below! 

 Best coffee shops in Moscow

Strictly speaking, it is not a coffee shop – it’s a bakery shop where you can drink coffee. But! Coffee and pastry here are of such quality that they will beat any ten-course dinner.

10. Literary Cafe at the Moscow House of Books

Curl up with a book in a chair in the literary café at the Moscow House of Books on Novy Arbat street. Freshly brewed coffee, hundreds of books on the shelves to read,  relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes you can witness readings and presentations of famous writers and poets.

To tell you the truth, the best Literary Cafe in Russia is in St Pete. Indulge in Russian cuisine on one of our private tours St Petersburg .

9. Ochen Domashnee Cafe (Very Home-Made Cafe)

Warm colors, soft light, good atmosphere – everything to plunge into home comfort. Don’t forget to get a hand-made souvenir for home.

8. Boucle Cafe

One of the oldest Moscow cafe located in the heart of the capital, on the Arbat street. Sip your coffee and watch literary events, film screenings and musical performances, sitting in one of those soft and colorful chairs.

7. Bulgakov House Cafe

Lokated in Bulgakov House which is famous for its amazing atmosphere: you can pat Behemoth cat, talk on the phone with Woland, indulge in delicious espresso and traditional desserts. Everything is literally saturated here with the spirit of the 1930s: tattered books on the shelves, retro lamps on the tables, vintage interior.

6. West 4 Brew Bar

West 4 makes brewing coffee in siphon a meditative and spectacular process: brown drops falling through the filter paper super slowly. So if are excited to see how your Nicaragua with notes of milk chocolate and hazelnut is progressing, you are welcome to watch the whole process.

5. Double B Coffee&Tea

For coffee sampling here we  recommend Ethiopia – neutral, but lurking mature tones of summer fruits. The drink is served in a glass flask, all power of the drink goes to the flavor – unusual amber hue, soft, fragrant. Warning: do not drink at once, and let it cool down not to miss anything.

Their own coffee shops remind laboratories, which constantly re-invent coffee drinks. There is no kitchen, but there is a large variety of coffee drinks. Apart from the classic espresso-based (cappuccino, latte, ristretto) there is also a large variety of alternative slow ways of brewing: chemex, hario and aeropress.

Double B’s signature drinks are latte with a variety of syrups, espresso with hazelnut mousse “Coffee wind” and raf-coffee, which is prepared on the basis of espresso with the addition of 11% -x cream and vanilla sugar. Worth a try is a lavender raf.

Ingenious method of preparing Australian lungo was peeped from the Australian colleague Matt Perger on World Barista Championship. Double B is the only coffee shop in Moscow that does Australian lungo really well.

Coffee gurus from Double B give some tips for beginning coffee lovers: chemex is served in a recognizable vessel. Coffee from aeropress is usually rich and muddy: for this method very thin paper filters are used. A hario is clean and shiny. Hot coffee is always slightly bitter, it needs to cool down. A good drink with the loss of temperature does not lose flavor. Do not add sugar, give your coffee a chance to become the most memorable experience in your life.

This spring 2015 Double B shares with us their new ideas: latte creme brulee (became a hit overnight), latte basil (with pine nuts), as well as cucumber tea with chamomile, which is so good for you.

Les is a unique place living under its own rules. Freshest salads, delicious sandwiches, tortillas and burritos and in-house desserts, combined with coffee master classes, sculpting, drawing, acting & DJ sets on the weekend make this place extremely popular among locals.

The interior of Les is unpretentious: whitewashed brick walls, wooden planks and menu written in white chalk on a blackboard. This is the only place in Moscow where they roast green coffee beans on the spot. Coffee is prepared only from beans of one variety, this way you can really get a taste of each type of coffee.

3. Upside Down Cake Co

This is not only airy cupcakes and cakes, but also good-quality coffee. Espresso, cappuccino, latte – all coffee beverages are prepared from freshly roasted coffee beans.

The menu consists of 11 kinds of cupcakes and 16 kinds of cakes. Here you can also have breakfast porridge and soup for lunch. Dishes and pastries prepared by adapted American recipes Chef Isaac Correa. Almost half of the menu is updated every day, so it’s ideal for regular visits.

Highly recommended is aeropress Ethiopia Bokassa. Quite strong, completely black, no weaker than espresso, but with muted bitterness and bright grapefruit tartness. This coffee is ideal for wakening up.

2. Coffeemania

Apart from coffee and desserts, here you can get top notch breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coffee from Coffeemania is repeatedly called the most delicious and expensive in the city. This is the only Moscow coffee place with presentable interiors and high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, classic leather sofas and an open kitchen. At the same time,  there is no standard design for each new coffee house. Each Coffeemania is unique.

Coffeemania has a reputation of a trend setter, they are long known for their Chemex. Worth a try is Chemex brewed mono-sorts of highland Colombia – coffee gets a lovely rounded taste and loses all coffee sharpness: no bitterness and smoke, only chocolate with walnut.

1. Coffee Bean

Our absolute favorite. A mecca for coffee lovers since 1996.

The menu offers over 50 high-quality coffee sorts. The most popular alternative coffee is purover with its soft, transparent, succulent taste.
