butter in coffee is NASTY & indeed very fattening. So, im cool with just coffee & cream.

No recipe for everyone? That's it, an Ethopian way to eat coffee? Nice, I guess. But, not front page worthy.

Straight, no milk, no sugar. Coffee, if it's good, needs no adornment.

Wow, let me get the recipe and I will try it. Back in SouthIndia, my place, we drink Coffee with Cinnamon sticks,cardomom and some longpepper and when I mentioned it here, people looked at me with askance. People do react to what they perceive as the "truth behind things" and what is "best". Shreeram Balijepalli

Neat - like butter tea. I wonder what spices are in the butter. I know the flavours savoured were ginger and cardamom, but can the author confirm that this are in fact the spices used in the preparation of that "dollop"?

Can you at least tell us the proper way to make this coffee... instead of saying "dollop of butter" then mentioning "ginger and cardamom" perhaps give us some measurements and other instructions so that others may duplicate this???

I love coffee. I have had all kinds and usually like the dark roast. I drink my coffee with cream. Though, I am very interested in trying your favorite coffee. What type of butter do you use and do you use it with a certain type of coffee?

A coffee shop I visited often in Oregon served a dark roast with a slice of orange and creme. I ignored the orange at first, but then got brave. Really like it, but now with my home brew, it doesn't line up... I really wish I could figure what coffee they were using.

Have you tried coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in it? Nice combination!

C'mon, Marcus. Stop teasing us! Surely you must have a recipe for this intriguing twist on the usual java (or if not, I'm sure you've "experimented" once or twice at recreating it after you got back). How can we try this at home? And by the way, we still miss you in the Twin Cities! -- Leonard from Stillwater

Why does butter sound awful in coffee? Butter is made from cream but folks put cream into the coffee though.

I am of East Indian origin and out there we drink tea with ginger and coffee with cardamom on several and regular occasions. I even got my friend in Dallashooked on to that special coffee. And you are right it was pretty much an addiction for her... :)

I'm glad you share it with American coffee lovers. It's actually nothing new for many Vietnamese to have butter in their coffee. The taste of a little French butter in in your hot black coffee early in the morning is a good way to start the day. Try it and experience the wonderful gift the coffee beans have brought to us.
