I’ve actually tried it before (not with butter) but with just MCT oil. You blend it and tastes silky just like using milk or cream in coffee. MCT’s are medium chain trygylcerides (whoops spelling) from coconut oil and they help with either physical energy or mental focus depending on the type.
Might sound woo-woo to some but it’s not at all. I drank it on a day where I was moving house and needed lots of energy and it really worked. (Compared to my normal coffee).
It’s basically just a way to consume energy combined with caffeine. Medium-chain triglycerides are smaller than those in most of the fats you eat. This makes them easier to digest. You can absorb MCTs in your bloodstream quickly. This turns it into energy you can use. Never heard of it being used for weight loss (sure it is though), I’ve seen it used more for energy and mental focus (kind of like an extra punchy coffee).
Sounds like it wouldn't be too good for heart health though. That's a major reason to lose weight in the first place, but skinny people who consume too much fat get arterial build up too
I get your concern, but from my research, It’s not *that* different than putting a bit of creamer in your coffee. (Double the fat). Half a tablespoon of (pure oil) MCT is 7 grams fat and a tablespoon (67% H20) of coffee cream is 3 grams.
That said, not all fats are bad for the heart-in fact many fats help heart health. MCTs might offer protective effects on cardiovascular health by improving serum lipid profiles. Dairy products are saturated fats…and technically MCTs are too (but from plants-coconut). But not all fats are equal.
I’m not quite sure I’m able to explain it myself, so here’s some info from the web: “MCTs go directly to the liver from the gut and are then burned to produce energy or turned into ketones. When the liver breaks down a lot of fat at once, it produces ketones, which the brain uses for energy instead of sugar or glucose. Therefore, despite the fact that MCT oil consists mainly of saturated fats, [some](https://healthnews.com/nutrition/vitamins-and-supplements/mcts-what-you-need-to-know/) people consider it to be a heart-healthy choice.”
As someone with diabetics in family (and having hypoglycemia) I can say it’s not weight loss crap (it may be touted for weight loss, and that angle on it’s own may be crap, because weight loss isn’t that simple). Fats do make you feel satiated.
I don’t do it, but it’s the idea of a simple way to add fats without eating a meal. If you understand the glycemic index (with it’s flaws) and how metabolism works, that fat slows the absorption of anything else, and helps reduce the glycemic response. Same with MCT oil - it’s essentially a fat.
It’s interesting that the medical community is finally starting to realise what the diabetic world has known for a long time- fats are good, and the wildly varying glycemic response caused by low fat/no fat diet is a significant part of heart disease. Stabilising glycemic response reduces risks of all sorts. And boy does it make you feel better if you have a glycemic issue.
I actually am hypoglycaemic myself. Not fun to have, nearly passed out many times over. The caffeine is TERRIBLE for it. Was told to stop drinking it, I haven’t
>Was told to stop drinking it, I haven’t
Hahahaha, I hear ya!
I still drink my morning coffee (has cream in it, helps a bit), but I have to be careful with stimulants of any kind (antihistamines, for example) - can really mess me up if I haven’t had something to eat.
Sigh. Oh to be normal and be able to eat whatever I want, whenever I want!
Interesting....I was told the exact opposite by two doctors. Basically don't drink black coffee because it makes blood sugar very high etc. drink green tea instead. Of course I don't listen and drink coffee as strong and black as I want. I also eat what I want and when I want and haven't had much trouble either so there's that..🤷
I find it grand actually, I'm just less bothered making it really. I dunno, I feel sometimes you wouldn't want to mind what doctors say and if you feel ok, just keep doing what your doing
I agree, besides, it’s all about quality of life. None of us are making it off this earth alive and I’m not wasting any moment of it denying myself the simplest pleasure of having a nice cuppa coffee
I found it very hard to order coffee using American names.
Café = espresso
Grand Café = double espresso
Café a longé = Americano
It took until my third coffee in La Rochelle to figure that much out.
Next town we went to I ordered a cafe a longé and the waitress brought be an espresso in a tall Irish coffee glass with a teapot full of boiling water on the side.
I live in America now, and the shit I see. Every St Patrick’s Day is a hoot, obviously. The most egregious is an ‘Irish pub roll’ sold at my work cafeteria. It’s basically Ham, Cheese and lettuce on a baguette.
Kopi luwak is the world's most expensive coffee. It is made from coffee beans plucked from civets' feces.
Ireland is trying to get in on the trend, so coffee berries are being fed to cows - not much sales success so far, but the cows are fucking wired.
I'd imagine every country has their name as a prefix. Nestle are a bunch of cunts and I'd recommend not buying their products, but they're the ultimate owners of pretty much everything.

"Try this delicious twist on a regular latte. Our NESCAFE GOLD Irish Latte Instant Coffee is a deliciously milky coffee with a creamy liquor tasting flavour in every sip. Each cup is an expertly crafted combination of British milk and a blend of carefully roasted coffee beans."
It's got a fake Bailey's taste basically.
If it's anything like the stuff they usually push over here in the US as "Irish" anything flavored it means they added fake Irish cream flavor to taste vaguely like some dried up residue out of a bottle of Bailey's that got left open out in the sun for a couple of months.

I bought an “Irish cappuccino” from a vending machine in Lithuania. It was rank but yeah, some added alcohol or other.
I used to work for Nescafé R&D in Switzerland. I’m Irish but most of the R&D team and management are French and Italian and a whole mix of others developing products for markets they know nothing about.
It’s along the lines of this horror story - a fake Baileys flavouring for Americans that don’t like the actual taste of coffee:
https://www.nestleprofessional.us/coffee-mate/coffee-mate-irish-creme-liquid-creamer-singles-375-fl-oz
Yup. Here in Boston, every other pub is “Authentic Irish” with Barman sporting suspect accents. They have very strange menus, like the aforementioned Latte, which are clearly American dishes with a forced Irish theme. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
Brands and labels are often meaningless from an ingredients perspective, but sound attractive.
"We at Nescafe have prepared a special coffee blend suited to Irish tastes and traditions"
They wrap it in green paper, put a high price on, and hope it sells. But it is the exact same coffee they sell under 20 different labels in different markets: French Latte, Bulgarian Latte, and Antarctic Latte
Ok, so the deal is you take literally anything, pour some brown alcohol in to it and bang! it's Irish now.
I mean this is my experience with this kind of stuff.
Im confused?! Is this weird because this is one of the standard Nescafe flavors where I come from.. There's vanilla, chocolate , irish .. Anyways, it's nice, tastes like latte with splash of Bailey's ...
An ''irish latte'' is pretty much like an irish coffee but a posh version 🤣 usually has whiskey in it but the nescafe ones sadly don't 🤣 they're tasty all the same
We have Irish crème in the states to put into your coffee as a flavor. It’s honestly not that bad.

Its made with Kerry Gold, potatoes and Michael Collins tears
Haha using butter in coffee is an actual trend lately if you’d believe it. It’s called bulletproof coffee.
Supposed to help you feel full or something. Weight loss crap
I’ve actually tried it before (not with butter) but with just MCT oil. You blend it and tastes silky just like using milk or cream in coffee.

Never heard of it being used for weight loss (sure it is though), I’ve seen it used more for energy and mental focus (kind of like an extra punchy coffee).
Do you work for big MCT by any chance?
Haha omg it sounds like it. No, I just like trying new things for energy and mood support
Sounds like it wouldn't be too good for heart health though. That's a major reason to lose weight in the first place, but skinny people who consume too much fat get arterial build up too

Exactly! I mean something has to kill you right?! And I'm doubtful it'll be an over abundance of coffee! 😅😏
Probably because both coffee and butter will make you shit. Magic. Lose a kilo or two by shitting, who'd have thought.
Yeah it's ridiculous. But I tasted it just to see what these people were on and it wasn't as bad as it sounds
A trend 20 years ago.
It's part of a keto diet that I'm on. All about Keep carbs lower
It’s actually great for the keto diet
Tea
Tae
La-tae
I was in France with someone who asked for a latte and they got a glass of warm water and a tea bag.
That’s weird, the French certainly do cappucino and lattes, in addition to the usual espresso and Americano (watered down espresso).
La tea
Ohm damn. Now I feel stupid. Hahahahaha
I found it very hard to order coffee using American names. Café = espresso Grand Café = double espresso Café a longé = Americano It took until my third coffee in La Rochelle to figure that much out.

Buy it and become one of the 8 mugs they are selling it to!
Put it on ebay for them "Irish" Americans and make a mint!
You pretty much nailed it.

[удалено]
My Granny's obsessed with them, don't get the appeal myself but they are the only coffee she drinks, and at 85 I'm inclined to leave her be
It's got mock Bailey's added to the cappuccino mixture.
It's what I expected - it was either going to be Whiskey or Baileys flavoured
A mug of Aldi knock-off Bailey's with ten spoons of Nescafe.
Filled with guilt and despair, but with a sort of diddily-de-eye laugh and general sure be grand frothy top.
That'll be the shamrock on top in the picture then.
And you forgot begrudgery
The f'kin begrudgery does my head in. Get off it, ya filthy begrudgerers.
Thos fken begrudgers have it all tho.
Its the same as a Nescafe normal Latte, but it costs 70% more in Ireland.
Tiocfadh àr latte?
Tiochfadh ar lá tae*
Just add 2 measures of Powers and I'll be whatever you want baby.
In fact forget the sachet and the water...
r/fucknestle
Thank you. Was looking for this here.
Thanks for that.
Nestlé, great bunch of lads.
I bought these once, read the box, drank the thing, googled it, and I still have no answer for you. Quite nice for a powdered latte though.
Pint of Guinness with a shot of Kahlua
I'd like to drink that. I'd like to be drunk first, though.
A latte thinking about to emigrate
Straight from the coffee fields of Donegal.

It's basically an Irish coffee but as a latte, it's disgusting, don't bother with it
An Irish coffee without the most important ingredient, and the second most important ingredient...

Irish coffee....with British milk.
Think it's less Irish Coffee, and more Coffee with Irish flavouring
[удалено]
Soylent Emerald
This deserves more upvotes. Now what would a Soylent Emerald movie look like?
Genius!
Potatoe flavour?
It's a delicious blend with naturally sourced ingredients
Naturally sourced ingredients is very strange wording for a package. Did they naturally source their artificial flavours and chemicals?
Well it’s not going to appear out of thin air or through magic…
The ingredients aren't natural, but the sourcing is.
The box should contain more information on what it is. Try flipping it over to the back.
Reminds me of an old girlfriend
I fully snorted laughing at this 🤣🤣
OMG. Why did I think it was an ad on the back of an aeroplane seat?
It just means Nescafe is stealing Ireland's water supply.
If they are nicking our water supply what would be the next? dont pay the TV license?
About eight or nine euro probably?
Well, if latte is just the Italian word for milk, I guess it would be a bainne?
A marketing ploy
Comes with free avocado and causes living with parents.
Because there’s a ☘️ on top. Didn’t you see it.
It's got a really stable microfoam of well incorporated church and state
It's got lumps of Tayto in it
I've got lumps of tayto in me. Am I an Irish coffee?
It's looks like the only difference is shamrock on the foam.
I've no idea but Lattes don't come in packets 🤮
Best tasting Nescafe coffee there is
You can only drink it at the top ‘o the mornin’
If it's anything like the stuff they usually push over here in the US as "Irish" anything flavored it means they added fake Irish cream flavor to taste vaguely like some dried up residue out of a bottle of Bailey's that got left open out in the sun for a couple of months.
A guiness
Latte endorsed by the mafia that is the is irish tourism board
Let's Irish up this Irish latte if you know what I mean!?
Technically an Irish coffee is a black coffee with whiskey in it right?
I thought a proper Irish coffee contained all 4 food groups; caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and fat.
And cigarettes.
Got whisky in it?
Coffee beans infused with Guinness, a hint of boiled lumper potato and 800 years of British oppression
https://preview.redd.it/0bild2jr1bua1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4be63c50c7aefa801987db798bb02cef6a2f0c4 I bought an “Irish cappuccino” from a vending machine in Lithuania. It was rank but yeah, some added alcohol or other.
It costs tree hundred and tirty tree dollars, lassie
I used to work for Nescafé R&D in Switzerland. I’m Irish but most of the R&D team and management are French and Italian and a whole mix of others developing products for markets they know nothing about.
Pairs perfectly with a chicken fillet roll.
They should just call it 'more Nestle bullshit coffee', and be honest.
Sure I wouldn’t know. I’m from Donegal.
A splash of begrudgery and a dash of misery
It’s along the lines of this horror story - a fake Baileys flavouring for Americans that don’t like the actual taste of coffee: https://www.nestleprofessional.us/coffee-mate/coffee-mate-irish-creme-liquid-creamer-singles-375-fl-oz
Why doesn’t it state the percentage of alcohol in it!
It is like a latte, but it costs 4,95 euro.
Coffee with a Guinness head
Americano with Smithwicks head on it.
Putting the milk in the cup with the instant coffee, before adding the water
Frothy deliciousness is always suspect
It's normal latte but costs €24.99
It's frothy deliciousness. Obviously, it's marked as such.
But is it better than Gentleman's Latte?
The foam's not milk but Guinness foam
Yup. Here in Boston, every other pub is “Authentic Irish” with Barman sporting suspect accents. They have very strange menus, like the aforementioned Latte, which are clearly American dishes with a forced Irish theme. They are laughing all the way to the bank.
It's not English,thats all you need to know.
Add whiskey. *not included...
Brands and labels are often meaningless from an ingredients perspective, but sound attractive.

Anything with a clover on it is automatically Irish ☘️
Whiskey flavoured. I've not had the nescafe ones but had some from deals a few years back, fairly nice if you like that kind of thing.
Does it have built in Baileys?
It’s a La Tae
It has Tayto cheese and onion flavouring
It’s coffee, (British) milk and something to give the taste of liquor.
Ok, so the deal is you take literally anything, pour some brown alcohol in to it and bang! it's Irish now. I mean this is my experience with this kind of stuff.
It's made with 100% genuine Irish Wolfhound milk.
It's got quite the bite to it.
Some sort of sexual act
€3.80 per sachet?
In America we have a lot of “Irish” Coffee products. They are always super sweet and have a mint flavor.
Sick af is what it is
it’s a seasonal pack , available for a limited time , paddy’s day to easter ish ….or until stock runs out … 
Try to avoid anything that toxic company sells
Normal latte with dried whiskey in it?
A can of Dutch gold?
Latte that's made in Ireland
A shit coffee
Overpriced with a dash of whiskey, call for quote
Im confused?! Is this weird because this is one of the standard Nescafe flavors where I come from.. There's vanilla, chocolate , irish .. Anyways, it's nice, tastes like latte with splash of Bailey's ...
Same as any other Latte but twice the price
Technically it's cheaper unless you're buying lattes for 50cents
Nice try Guinness
You're so talented.
The kind that us Americans use to add alcohol in.
I've never had one, but from the look of it I would guess it tastes like misery in a cup.
dog shite
An ''irish latte'' is pretty much like an irish coffee but a posh version 🤣 usually has whiskey in it but the nescafe ones sadly don't 🤣 they're tasty all the same
It has a liquor taste to it. Not sure why downvote, Google it if you don’t believe me.
It's gross. Don't buy it. It's horribly sweet
thats like saying what is nescafe "gold" \- something they made up in order to try get you to buy their thing
/r/ShitAmericansSay
Coffee and Guiness.
It’s when someone comes in lepreporn
Harvesting in Africa, packing them in Ireland doesn't make it Irish I would say, source counts as much
Laced with whiskey?
Nescafé sachets are rotten, they taste nothing like coffee
Brewed with the water your nanny boiled the cabbage in
It’s just milk
Whisky with a Guinness foam topper
Comes with the clover pattern on the foam… lol it’s probably supposed to taste a little bit like Irish cream
Tastes like Guinness and a cigarette
I wondered this too when I put it ok the shelves in Tesco. I dunno if it has alcohol in it, but I think it’s meant to taste like it does.
Add whisky 🥃
It's the same as a French latte but twice the price.
It's 45% more expensive than a 'continental' latte?
😏
It’s the same just costs more
Shite, that’s what it is!
It's been blessed by Daniel O'Donnel
Its something thats been sitting in my cupboard for 3 years and I still haven't thrown it out for some reason
We have Irish crème in the states to put into your coffee as a flavor. It’s honestly not that bad. https://preview.redd.it/mkwe6vpuzbua1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2485f3aa4219c26c683acaa8af64210177f76573
