Do americans really

This is a tea board, kiddo.

I tried it a couple years ago and thought it was terrible

I've heard of this in places like Nepal & Tibet, where they use yak butter as it keeps better than milk. Not sure why you'd do it unless you had to though, but then I gather some places put cream in instead of milk.

The same reason you would add cream to your coffee. Since butter is stored at room temperature it doesnt cool the coffee as much. Also you can use about half or 1/3rd as much butter than cream, so even less thermal mass to cool down the coffee.

The milkfat is alkaline and helps neutralize the acid in the coffee giving it a smoother taste. Butter does the same thing as milk or cream, only more efficiently and without diluting the coffee as much.

It slows down your caffeine uptake so you get a lower key buzz that lasts longer.

It's just a bit of rhetorical grammar that happens to be non-literary. We're not writing essays here.

If you drink this with a carb heavy breakfast it's a great way to pack on pounds of fat.

Using cream would basically be the same thing though. The whole bulletproof coffee thing was mostly marketing and overstating its benefits. If you really want a slower release of caffeine, making a porridge with tea/coffee would probably be better, I think I read that some Tibetan people do that anyway, that they'll have butter with tea but also add roasted flour to it to make a kind of dumpling sometimes.

Tea is leaf water for gay Europeans to swill.

I thought that was a dumpling for a moment.

It's supposed to make you impervious to bullets if I understood correctly.

>not putting cheese in your coffee
Some fine pre-shredded is great in a cup of morning joe. You can even roll up a slice of American cheese and use it as a straw!

I like to plunge a big lump of roquefort in mine. I adds a nice kick.
