That time I tossed butter in my coffee and ended up with a greasy disaster

I thought bulletproof coffee would be a cheap upgrade using my regular store brand beans and some butter, but after 3 mornings of it, my stomach was a mess and the oil just floated on top no matter how much I stirred. Turns out you need a blender or at least a frother to emulsify it, and even then it's way too rich for daily use. Has anyone else tried this and found a way to make it work without buying a special gadget?

Honestly feels like you're way overthinking a cup of coffee.

Oh my, that sounds like a rough start. I have to ask though, what kind of butter were you using? I found that salted butter makes the whole thing taste awful and leaves this greasy film that just sits there. Unsalted grass-fed butter is supposed to be the standard, and it does work better but it's not a magic fix. I tried it for a week and my stomach was in knots too, so I switched to just a splash of heavy cream instead and that settled things down. Do you think it was the butter quality that made it so bad, or was it just too much fat all at once for your system?
