Olive oil in coffee???

[PollyannaMom]

I keep seeing commercials this morning for Starbucks about coffee with olive oil in it.

I'm not a Starbucks fan to begin with, but this ...I just can't.

 

[BrianL]

GROSS! Who would drink coffee?

 

[MamaMermaid]

I don't really like coffee but this sounds EXTRA terrible!

 

[easyas123]

That's a no from me as well.

I'm wondering if they're going for a "butter coffee" or "bulletproof coffee" vibe...but Italian? I've never had butter coffee, but some swear by it....for satiety purposes I believe.

Throw up a little bit in my mouth just thinking about it.

Well cream is basically an oily substance, so it is not so far fetched. People put butter in tea, so that is the same kind of thing. I might try it if offered for free.

Sounds like a total waste of both coffee and olive oil. Can anybody explain what the point is?

I put butter in coffee once, it was foul.

Anyway, the idea of oil in coffee makes me think of that gagging feeling I get when I only have oil in my mouth. You know old-timey "drink this oil to induce vomiting"..... Need to stop thinking about that.

Bunch of philistines.

I've never done Starbucks but I do have a 'bulletproof' coffee most mornings. I use about a tablespoon of real butter, a little heavy whipping cream & zero sugar sweetner. I love it. Pretty much use it on mornings when I don't want breakfast so it keeps me satisfied til lunch or later.

Nope. Oil and water don't mix and just tend to separate. Wouldn't it be strange to have some oil floating on top of your coffee?

Exactly what I was thinking. Gag.

For me, it's "think about drinking oil in coffee to induce vomiting."

Good Morning America just did a segment on this. YES the oil floated on top. And both the GMA reporter and the hosts' expressions after trying it, makes me want to throw up.

Doesn’t sound good, but I would give it a sip.

Jinx!

 

[Mysterian]

What if you just skip the olive oil and add olives?

If adding olives, why not just skip the coffee and make it a martini?

Another thread solved.

 

[MIGrandma]

I think that is something I wouldn’t even want to TRY. Love coffee though

I do MCT oil in my coffee each day, so....sure, I would do this, too.
