“It makes for the creamiest, most satisfying cup of coffee you’ve ever had,” Dave Asprey writes on his website. He’s the creator of Bulletproof Coffee, the small company credited for popularizing the concoction. The tech-investor attributes a high-fat diet to his 80-pound weight loss. And beyond taste, Asprey says this buttery drink provides all of the energizing benefits of a cup of coffee, without the four o’clock slump. Bulletproof believers insist that the butter’s high-fat content will slow the time it takes for your body to metabolize the coffee’s caffeine. In other words, increased energy, decreased crash.

James Freeman’s Blue Bottle Coffee is the latest craze in artisanal coffee. People are loving the coffee from this Oakland-based company which is expanding fast – currently, there are 13 stores in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and now in New York City. Freeman’s company was born as he describes from:
…a slightly disaffected freelance musician and coffee lunatic, weary of the grande eggnog latte and the double skim pumpkin-pie macchiato, decided to open a roaster for people who were clamoring for the actual taste of freshly roasted coffee. Using a miniscule six-pound batch roaster, he made an historic vow: “I will only sell coffee less than 48 hours out of the roaster to my customers, so they may enjoy coffee at its peak of flavor. I will only use the finest, most delicious and responsibly sourced beans.” In honor of Kolshitsky’s heroics, he named his business Blue Bottle Coffee, and began another chapter in the history of superlative coffee. Blue Bottle Coffee has grown to a small network of cafes, wholesale partners, an espresso cart, and some vintage German coffee roasters. We are still united by the simple purpose of getting great coffee to everyone who asks for it. Improbably and delightfully, there are hundreds of us now. We roast coffee on vintage gear, put it in compostable bags, and still get it to our customers within 48 hours. We roast great coffee on two coasts, make great drinks, clean up after ourselves, bake cookies, type up invoices, get change at the bank, and say please and thank you.
