Equipment

high-speed blender
french press

Ingredients

2 tablespoon coarse ground coffee beans
1 teaspoon MCT Oil
2 tablespoon grass-fed butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 scoop collagen powder optional

Instructions

Grind the coffee at a coarse setting just before brewing to preserve the freshness and flavors and pour into french press.
Heat water to boiling, then pour it over the grounds in the french press.
Start a stopwatch. After one minute, take a spoon and gently submerge the grounds that have formed a ‘crust’ on the surface.
After four minutes, press down the plunger. Pour brewed coffee in to glass/metal blender container.
Gently add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
Drink warm and enjoy the healthy fat and protein goodness!

Notes

Standard pre-ground coffee is generally too fine for french press brewing and may get stuck in the mesh filter, creating a lot of resistance when you try to plunge.
Regular brewed coffee can be used as the base if you don't have a french press.
After plunging the filter, make sure to decant all the coffee—otherwise it will slowly continue to brew and become bitter within the press.
