THE 5 BEST steps to get the most out of your coffee.
- Don’t add milk or sugar –
This may be hard for you. Try this.. change your latte or mocha to a “MEZZO” this means you have half the milk, the other half is water. Steamed together it’s still creamy and you’re not pouring as much kryptonite on your coffee.
Sorry, there are no tricks to the sweeteners – simply get rid of them. That means even the sugar free, non fat kinds + any chocolate or caramel sauce. You’re basically crushing superman with a giant rock.
2. Drink 12 oz or less.
The more water you mix with your coffee the more it’s diluted. Not as much as with milk – but it’s still not as powerful. A smaller cup will greatly reduce the water content
3. Drink espresso, not drip coffee
Espresso means the beans are ground and packed tightly and just a small of water flows through them. Drip is loosely packed ground coffee and a lot of water passes through them. ** also espresso gives you more energy for longer.
Once I switched to ONLY straight espresso, I stopped having those energy crashes
** also OPT for the LIGHTER roast – it has more caffeine!
4. Stick to one, MAYBE 2 awesome cups of coffee a day
When you up the power from your coffee, you simply don’t need as much. Also – that afternoon pick me up cup may make it hard for you to sleep tonight.
5. Up your shots
That’s right.. I said it:) If you’re used to 2 cups of double tall lattes (2 shots/drink) – nix the latte and get 4 shots of straight up espresso in just one cup in your AM. I turned my two double short into 4 shots of espresso.
6. GO for the lighter roast– The less a bean is heated, the more caffeine it has. Cool, right!
**7. THIS IS THE GAME CHANGER! Make Bulletproof Coffee
Bulletproof coffee is your coffee on steroids. It’s enhanced in every great way. By adding two simple ingredients to your morning cup you will burn even MORE fat, skyrocket your brain power & stay full longer. The coolest part is you way more polyphenols out of every cup of Bulletproofed coffee.

Stick to this list for easy reference on best coffee drinks. #1 is best
#1 Double or Triple Espresso. This is just the shots – High quality beans (no drive thru small town stands for you). 2 – 4 shots.If too bitter for you add a small amount of water – 1-2 inches is good.
#2 Short (6 oz) Americano – Pick the amount of shots you want 2-4 shots. This is 1/2 espresso 1/2 hot water
#3 French Press – More densely packed coffee grounds = still some great powers for you
#4 Pour Over – Higher quality coffee with denser packed grounds
#5 Cold Brew – Opt for non flavored and no milk added.
#6 Drip Coffee – less beans more water. Go for a small size on this. More water is not better
#7 Mezzo – 1/2 americano 1/2 steamed milk. Remember milk is kryptonite to healthy coffee beans
#8 Latte – espresso + steamed milk. Not a healthy choice. You are have just killed superman with that milk
#9 Mocha, frappucino … anything else = not good at all. You know better:)
