        My favorite coffee is iced pour over using the Chemex. Have a Bonavita kettle which enables me to keep the temperature constant throughout the brewing cycle.–Jett

          glad to see bulletproof coffee getting some love. It makes a mess out of the coffee but is a GREAT way to start the day. I really miss it when I travel!

          I just started doing the bulletproof coffee thing. Been on it a week and I feel great. I've been using coconut oil but once I run out I might try the brain octane instead.

            Yeah the Chemex is a very different taste/profile to V60. Chemex is a lighter/less bodied cup. It often gets called a 'cleaner' cup. Less oils make it through, what you're really left with is the taste of the beans without any of the other influences that can help mask or bring flavours out. If I drink the same beans in V60 and Chemex I get 2 totally different views on the same bean. Some work better in 1 brew method vs another. Kenyan coffees (going from memory here) are usually heavy bodied and don't translate as well on Chemex for instance…

            Snowy I just bought an Able kone to use in my V60, curious to see how the coffee tastes in comparison to paper filters. Also like the idea of not having to keep buying filters.

                Let me know what you think superfuzz. I still have my kone here (yeah I have a gear problem :|, thankfully I've collected nearly everything by now :)). It's a fuller cup, more acids/oils in the cup. I enjoyed it w/ the v60, was just a little more annoying to clean. Not having to buy filters is nice - agree. Says he who's now using filters 7 days a week; aero@work, kalita@home-weekday, chemex@home-weekend ::)

                    glad to hear someone else is into it. Most people I tell think I'm crazy. But I really notice a difference after just a week. Also I'm only drinking one cup of coffee a day now instead of 3 or 4 cups of regular coffee and with no crash in the afternoon.

                      @veloaudio it's been perfect since the day I got it. Used 1-2x a day every day. Worth it's weight, and it's a heavy bastard in some kind of precious metal.

                        I unintentionally stopped with all the work travel. Time to get back on it! I do notice the difference hugely on vs off still!

                          Part of why I got the Able Kone is that Dave Asprey recommends a metal filter. I cold brew most of my coffee in a French press for the lower acidity but figured I'd give the metal cone a try for when I make pour overs. I've really drunk the bulletproof kool-aid!

                            That bullet proof coffee site looks like one of those pyramid scheme sites. Not hating, just saying.

                              I'm just using bulletproof as a general term for coffee with butter and coconut oil (mct oil etc.). I don't know about the brand bulletproof coffee, I've never tried it.

                                  yeah, f' the brand. Just the ingredients. It reminds me a lot of 'official' cross fit and you need the right gear or else it's shite. The coffee they're using here is a joke which just shows what a shame it is. Bit of a cult, but the combination itself of coconut oil and butter is amazing!

                                    I put some Great Lakes Gelatine in there too for some decent protein on top of the fats.

                                      @spitfiredealer how much butter and coconut oil do you put in how much coffee? I'm doing 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in 10 or 12 oz of coffee. I built up to the 1 tbs coconut oil so it wouldn't upser my stomach. What's your recipe @Snowy ?

                                        I eye-ball it mate, no recipe for this :|. I kind of found a happy medium last time where my stomach could handle it and kept increasing the dose over time ::)

                                          Cool just curious. I built up to 1 tbs of coconut oil. Seems fine now. I might go up a little bit.

                                            I go with one heaped tea spoon of coconut oil and then just cut off a lump of butter. Never measured the butter but don't go mad with it.
