In any case, it was about 300 ml of freshly ground normal coffee with aeropress blended with 1 tbsp coconut oil and 1 sachet of sugar from Espresso House (per person). Nice and creamy! A good way to use up any less-than-first-class bean purchases you might have.

Steve NordRunner Dec 2022 2:47pm, 4 Dec 2022 2,333 posts	0 Steve NordRunner It was! People in general seem to like that blended fat and carbo/water emulsion mouth-feel, like you get in gravy, ice cream, chocolate, etc. That reminds me to make a bulletproof coffee more often, but I have only good coffees just now, and I don't like to adulterate them!
Red Squirrel Dec 2022 10:35pm, 4 Dec 2022 22,551 posts	0 Red Squirrel Well I had an OK coffee this week at a wanky place. An old coffee supply company in Bristol has rebranded its premises to a white, glass, stark-benched cold affair with gadgets on display, but no warmth or cosiness. Mainly terse staff and I supped quickly and left; although not without noticing that a dog had shat under one of the tables, which I had to mention to the staff. Bit at odds with the sterile whiteness. I was glad to get out of there. Deeply unsatisfying experience.
