Found the keto
Comment on quick health tip

It’s actually not bad, you’re basically replacing the creamer. Especially if you’re doing keto or have other dietary restrictions. Coconut or MCT oil can work as a non-dairy replacement and is a main ingredient in non-dairy creamers already.
Good coffee is important, and also only really works if you already like it black or light cream & sugar.
Anyone curious, try adding a pinch of salt to your regular coffee

Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn’t a thing where I’m from.

Many people learn to drink coffee, because it is a social thing to drink. Often when you get guests over, the first thing you offer is a cup of coffee. The bitterness of coffee is an acquired taste though. Not everyone likes it, so they add sweeteners and creamers to hide it.
I used to do that as well, but it got increasingly annoying when places ran out of sugar or milk. So I just decided to learn to drink black coffee.
Now I’m a snob about my coffee and my beans.

I will never get countries who use creamer. They’re choosing the objectively worst way to have coffee

Maybe they like it that way

Aren’t you supposed to use ghee not just regular butter. My friend gave me some ghee for coffee and I tried it, it wasn’t bad but I didn’t want to have a heart attack so I didn’t use the rest. Now I use ghee for cooking to try it out and every time I smell it I want coffee or popcorn

I remember the “bulletproof coffee” trend being grass fed butter, but I could be wrong. Either way I doubt there’s any health benefits other than it not being a starbucks milkshake.

This literally takes away one of coffee’s biggest flavor enhancers which is its slightly bitter taste. If you do this, you might as well be drinking fucking tea.

I don’t like tea because its bitter
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
That’s not bitterness, that astringent. That’s a whole different thing. And generally it means you’re brewing your tea too long.

If you need to add a pinch of salt, get better coffee

Eh, most people burn their coffee or get shitty coffee. Salt helps enhance the coffee profile and decrease the bitterness that comes out when coffee is over brewed.
The number of people who don’t know how to properly make coffee drives me nuts.

They’re saying it helps badly roasted/brewed coffee, not that it’s the proper way to make coffee.

I think it’s more of a tip for people who don’t have a choice. Coffee isn’t exclusively consumed for the taste.

Good beans, ground fresh, brewed well. A touch of real cream (not creamer), a spoonful of sugar, and a splash of something alcoholic 🤌
