Delicious Chocolate Biohacking Coffee Recipe

Coffee is one of those addictions that seems to be socially accepted. Some friends of mine need their five cups per day. But why drink crappy coffee that makes you shaky, addicted and gives you a hard down phase after its caffeine effect fades out?

Biohacking coffee, often known as ‘Bulletproof Coffee’, uses tasty fats to slow down your body’s absorption of caffeine and makes enjoying coffee more like a smooth 2 hour ride instead of a 15 minute rollercoaster. You can add flavours, superfoods and other active nootropics to improve its taste and effect even more.

Instructions for one cup of chocolate biohacking coffee

1. Pre-heat the water in a gooseneck kettle with temperature setting or use a normal kettle and measure the water temperature.
2. Add butter, coconut oil, collagen, and chocolate to the blender.
3. Grind 15 g coffee beans on a coarse setting.
4. Add the coarse-ground coffee into your french-press coffee maker and circle pour in 250 ml of hot water (94° C / 200° F)
5. When the first drop of water hits the coffee, start the timer (3 minutes and 45 seconds) Hint: Use a kitchen scale with a built-in timer.
6. Place the plunger unit on top of the french press. Do not press down fully – just a little bit until the plunger sits 1 cm / 0.4 inches below the water level.
7. After 3 minutes and 45 seconds slowly and gently press down the french-press plunger completely. Fill the coffee into your blender.
8. Blend for 30 seconds. Pour in a glass and enjoy the buttery creamy taste of the coffee and its long lasting effect.
