Four Viral Internet Coffee Trends: Are They ACTUALLY Any Good?

With vegetable milks, you usually soak the beans/nuts in water overnight, so you should try to do that for the coffee milk 🤗

[@nibsabbath1825]

Came here to say this! It would be like cold brew coffee milk

[@complainer406]

Also, after putting it through the nut milk bag you can leave it to sit for ~30min so that the solids settle out

[@alegriapeters9946]

I love how Graham came in when you were putting espresso in cereal and not when you were putting whole coffee beans and water in the blender 🤣 Also, some homemade nut milk recipes say to soak the nuts overnight, I wonder if it would have a stronger coffee flavour if you tried the same with the coffee milk? I think usually you'd then drain off the water they were soaking in and blend it, but I don't see why it would be a problem to use the same water you soaked the coffee beans in to blend with. And I agree you'd probably have a more pleasant texture experience with a second filter, like you said! I'd love to see you give the coffee milk another try! P.S. I love your videos, I definitely have a deeper appreciation for coffee now that I've started watching your channel :)

[@markholm7050]

I’m glad to see that Graham is concerned for your welfare. When someone starts doing trending internet hacks, they need a responsible adult to keep tabs on them.

Thoughts on the Buttered Coffee ... that is an insane amount of butter. Try with maybe a quarter of it. I did this for Keto for quite a while and it takes a bit to dial it in for your own taste. It also matters what type of butter you use due to flavor, as you mentioned.

[@charlottemclean6130]

Like a whole bean cold brew that you then blend? 🤔

[@bokodasu]

So fancy! I just poured coffee on my cocoa puffs in college because I thought it was edgy. We did not have an espresso option! I only tried blending coffee beans and water once because I thought I had invented a brilliant hack, but it turns out I just found a way to make bad coffee and a huge mess.

[@imightbebiased9311]

I used to dump coffee over oatmeal with cinnamon. It was called "oatmoffee", and if someone tells you that it's called "coatmeal", that person is a hobo who makes coffee out of boiled winter clothing scraps.

[@emilyf3722]

I used to eat keto so during that time I consumed a lot of bulletproof coffee. She probably would have had a better butter coffee experience if she’d used a smaller amount of butter and had gone with salted. It sounds odd but a small mount of salt makes the coffee sweeter.

[@ikakau]

I’m in my 60’s and remember when I was a child the adults in the countryside of Hawai’i would make something called “Pokiwai” the cereal hack you showed is probably an updated version of this. It was basically coffee, milk, sugar and a big saloon pilot cracker with butter on it. When I was old enough it was a really a tasty morning treat.

[@grabble7605]

>coffee, milk, sugar So...Pretty standard coffee then. How is cereal an "updated version" of coffee?

[@ikakau]

@@grabble7605 cereal is used instead of a saloon pilot cracker.

[@elmtree9951]

​@grabble7605 you just cut the rest of the ingredients off, why are you unnecessarily hating

[@stockicide]

Apparently, this is also called "Soakie" or "Coffee Soup" in other places, and was popular during the Great Depression.

[@Magicwithizz]

I was curious about the butter coffee but did not want almost 2 tablespoons of butter per cup. So I added just a touch, a little pat, probably a teaspoon to one shot of espresso with sweetened condensed milk, and it is quite delicious. It has a smooth richness without a nasty mouthfeel. Def a treat not a daily experience but yum

[@siera1047]

For the decorated cup hack with the milk frother: I wonder if chilling the glass first would help set the chocolate and keep it from dripping as much

[@puggirl415]

I think it would because the cold milk seemed to slow down the drips. Also the thicker whatever syrup you use will make it drip slower. It may not be practical but giving yourself a treat or making a fancy treat for a get together with someone makes this a nice hack for home use.

[@purplegill10]

For me I think the even easier solution would be to add a small amount of milk just to disperse the syrup by mixing thoroughly and then adding the rest so it disperses in the drink much more easily. That way you can mix it without disturbing the lines that are higher up.

[@paradoxdriver4094]

For Hack #3, you touched on how I would handle it - make your beverage in another container and then pour into the decorated glass. I wouldn't do this for myself but if I had friends over and wanted to present a "fancy" beverage, I would absolutely do this, as it looks way cooler than just chocolate or caramel drizzled into the glass.

[@LunaBeth97]

There was a phase in my life at uni where id just throw some butter in my coffee for no reason whatsoever. I absolutely hate coffee so the only reason I'd be drinking it is to survive a 24 hour last minute assignment session so that madness is probably why I did it. I do also have a lot of impulsive thoughts around butter though, it tastes too good to care about cholesterol 😂

[@mariekearney236]

Butter is good for you, seed oils are what you need to worry about 😉🙂

[@luminalsaturn2]

I usually add a *little bit* (a teaspoon or less) of butter in my coffee along with milk if I don’t have any cream.

[@NickCombs]

I like to add two cardamom pods to my coffee grounds (per 4 servings). It's simple, but I really haven't gone back to just coffee since I tried it.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

After trying to do the "bulletproof" coffee thing, I've come to the conclusion that I'd much rather make mayonnaise out of MCT oil or hollandaise out of grass-fed butter, than greasy coffee. Besides, I can chuck some grass-fed half-and-half into coffee and add some collagen powder.

[@myname-mz3lo]

it is not invented for taste. neuroscientist invented it because blebding caffeine and fat makes it less strong but longer lasting. so no spike and crash from caffeine. beqt energy drink out there but when made right it tastes disgusting

[@gdp3rd]

On a work road trip many years ago, I discovered that one of my co-workers liked cereal, but not milk. She would have a bowl of Rice Krispies with a black coffee poured over it.

[@thunderofgr]

Oh man. New Morgan video… Time to make a Bulletproof AeroPress and watch the hilarity.

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Funny you mention bulletproof…

[@thunderofgr]

@@morgandrinkscoffee I would love to see your take on bulletproof coffee, but without the butter mess. I’ve recently been doing AeroPress directly onto ice so it keeps the flavors, then some MCT oil, and blend that up with a touch of honey and more ice to make it a cold drink for this outrageous Texas heat.

[@CourtneyVarner]

I did keto/bulletproof and butter coffee for about 2 years. I started with a small amount and ended up at about 2 tablespoons of grassfed butter and blended it for that full emulsion. It worked in that I lost and kept off weight, I also didn't get hungry until 1PM. It's a crazy thing and I don't think it's for everyone.

[@oxoelfoxo]

why'd you stop keto and did you gain back the weight?

[@CourtneyVarner]

@@oxoelfoxo I learned how to make bread during lockdown lol The pandemic kind of messed me up in a lot of ways and I gained some but not all of the weight back but I just kept stress eating, ya know. I've lost it all again just by being more mindful of what I'm eating and still intermittent fasting.

[@grabble7605]

Stuffing yourself with butterfat and the _known appetite suppressant that is coffee_ each morning kept you from being hungry? Absolute shocker!

[@ex-nerd]

It would be interesting to try that "coffee milk" hack with a powerful blender like a Vitamix and let it run long enough to heat up the water (takes about 8 minutes to boiling from cold water). Maybe start with lukewarm water so your overall time is closer to the 2-4 minute mark you'd want from other immersion methods. Should get better extraction and pulverize the coffee to a finer powder (something the Vitamix is much better at than other brands, too).

[@rhulcy]

I would say that you should boil the water prior to blending with coffee. This would be the same process as making nut milks in the blender but this one would be called coffee milk

[@corduroy799]

I love aesthetic coffee videos! The ones I watch either have no music or just gentle songs and so they're relaxing to me (kind of in the way ASMR is to other people). Sometimes I do try some of the recipes and the techniques but every time I do something like what you did, the syrup drips down the glass. Usually it's still tasty though!!

[@Viniter]

"I don't know if I want to call them dissolved solids, there are just some solids." That sentence got me :D. I feel like if you ran this through a coffee filter, you'd essentially had one of those high agitation "quick" cold brews. With poorly ground coffee.

[@LunaWingz]

my family roasts the coffee beans with butter. I think it's pretty typical for us to drink it that way. We drink it black, so black that you have lines whenever you pause while drinking, but it's naturally sweet without sugar because of the butter. It's also not oily

[@larix_laricina]

Regarding butter coffee, I make an emulsified butter syrup using Dave Arnold's recipe and it's delicious. You avoid some of that greasy coating feeling and still get that rich flavor. Also, you can brown the butter before making the syrup and that's even better. Highly recommend.

[@myname-mz3lo]

bulletproof coffee isnt meant to taste good . the caffeine and the fat mixes and makes the caffiene less absorb better and with less jitters . it is a biohacker drink not something to taste good

[@chiaragibbs1693]

I feel the spinning sauce decoration would work well with a homemade frappe (I found a caramel protein one on tiktok that I've been meaning to try)

[@donnaackels5686]

I use ghee instead of butter as I too have milk issues, I then use almond milk and sometimes coconut oil too. You are delightful to watch. Keep on keeping on

[@donnaackels5686]

With the chocolate one , what about using a chilled glass before making stripes

[@cassidygarman7916]

As a student the cereal coffee hack feels very useful if you wake up late 😂

[@pschroeter1]

I put a little instant coffee in Coco Krispies cereal. It good with any chocolate cereal, even Coco Wheats hot cereal. I like a little instant coffee sprinkle on top of ice cream. You have to make sure the dusting is light and even or you get bitter spots.

[@TheNormalAsian]

I wonder if blending it and letting it brew for a few hours or so like coldbrew, then straining it with a more fine strainer would be interesting.

[@Nasalkeihpos]

You know what time it is? Yes. 11:03. That’s why there’s the clock in the background.

[@clubmate12]

In fact there is two clocks in the background. Unsynced 😫

[@carieannpayne7091]

I loved butter coffee before I got bit by a tick and contracted Alpha-gal Syndrome. I used Ghee, and a level tablespoon of it. I also used a frother to combine it. Try it again with Ghee, it is so much better and really yummy!!!

[@AlexandriaWhitney_]

Butter in coffee is pretty common in Wisconsin. I grew up with this being the way you made coffee. Add a touch of brown sugar.

[@TheNinnyfee]

I put my chocolate muesli into my latte but I haven't told anyone because it sounded lazy. It's nice though, also with banana on top. ❤

[@foolakadugie]

I will sometimes put cold brew concentrate in my cocoa krispies with [almond or coconut] milk. It is quite good!

[@like_an_echo]

maybe to get a deeper flavour in the coffee "milk" you could do what is often done with almond milks, so soaking the beans for a night, and then blending? i wonder if there could be any difference??

[@eppicshotgun1281]

"Coffee with butter" was what i called my fictional cafe for a project in french class in high school... things really do come full circle lmfao.

[@Sarah-with-an-H]

For the butter coffee and I’ve done a mix of butter and unrefined coconut oil a milk frothed is good enough to emulsify the fat into the coffee. And I prefer a 2 parts salted butter to one part coconut oil to avoid the coconut oil causing a throat tickle.

[@J-K-N]

What if you'd make the butter coffee with browned butter? You'd probably have to strain out the browned milk solids after blending to have a good tactile, but it should def enhance the butter flavor. Though a different butter flavor

[@thanielxj11]

The butter coffee is really good with cultured butter it adds a lot of complexity

[@blorblin]

I love these videos. the vibes are immaculate...

[@joannastar]

I think I want to see what would happen if you filtered the coffee milk again, then used that “milk” with espresso to make a latte 😂

[@angela_eric]

Try blending with hot water, letting it sit for a bit before actually blending, then like you said filter through a coffee filter. I'll try when I get home also.

[@JadedJackalope]

In college, for breakfast in the uni cafeteria, I'd mix a hazelnut coffee and a hefty amount of whole milk with my morning cinnamon toast crunch, and that was pretty good.

[@shea9121]

Not that this cuts the acidity of coffee like butter does, but I have tried butter extract (like vanilla extract, but butter lol) in coffee and it wasn’t bad! The flavors actually pair pretty well together and there wasn’t any of that unpleasant texture that coats the mouth. Anyways, I really loved this video! Great job as usual, Morgan 🥰

[@TheSyncos]

I don't often have cereal in the house, but when I do, I have been known to eat a bowl of Cinnamon toast crunch, and then using that cereal milk in my morning coffee.

[@Flawlesslmperfection]

I've tried buttered coffee and it was not good, such a slimy mouth feel 🤢 I am a fan of 'breakfast coffee' though - you whisk an egg yolk while gradually pouring in your coffee, then add a dash of vanilla extract and optionally some cinnamon and/or sugar if you like. It's surprisingly creamy and doesn't taste eggy (unless you whisk too slowly and end up with chunks).

[@escorpioenmarte]

I need you and James Hoffman debunking more "hacks" /trends together. That would be epic.

I could see that butter coffee being used as an equivalent to Sherpa tea. Sherpa tea is a drink they make in the Himalayas, it's strong black tea with butter, cream and sugar. It's meant to be very filling and invigorating, since above a certain altitude you burn a lot of calories but cannot eat heavy foods anymore. I've made something a bit lighter for long hikes and it's very comforting, so maybe I should try something like that with coffee

[@bobsapdagger]

Have you ever used an immersion blender to make coffee drinks? An immersion blender allows more air to get into the vessel and it agitates more than a blender. So, for instance, you can make mayonnaise very easily with an immersion blender so it may also work for whipped coffee drinks like coffee delgado.

The butter in Cafe has been done by Cubans for a very long time. Going on 50+ years. We take Cuban bread that has been toasted and flattened with butter, a tostada, and we dip that into our cafe con Leche and stir in the butter with it. :)

I've been trying to make a French toast latte with beurre noisette in addition to the standard maple syrup and cinnamon, and steaming it in the milk.

[@masheldon]

Blended butter coffee reminds me of Tibetan butter tea. Mix tea, butter (from female yaks up there), and salt, then churn vigorously. Blenders work fine, including immersion blenders. I was told the first time to think of it as a kind of soup rather than tea. I find it very warming comforting in cold weather. I'll try it with coffee this winter (I may experiment with salt, but I'm not feeling optimistic about that :-)

[@Teaspoon007]

For that last hack i feel like if you let the beans sit in water first and hydrate then it may lead to less grainy particulate

Regarding butter coffee, I do half- to whole teaspoon of MCT oil to a shot of espresso, and mix it with a milk frother to emulsify. It's smooth and creamy but not too oily. Definitely experiment with the ratios to find what suits you, the recipe is not set in stone.
