Key Points

• Single-origin coffee — sourced from high-altitude estates in Guatemala (June–December roasting) and Colombia (December–June roasting)
• Hand-picked beans — only ripe berries selected by skilled harvesters
• Medium roast — tasting notes of cinnamon, plum, orange, with a cocoa-hazelnut finish
• Rainforest Alliance Certified beans from estate farms
• Sustainable processing — washed and mechanically dried via established techniques
• Whole bean format — grind fresh at home for optimal flavour and full control over grind size

What It Is

This is the Original Bulletproof Coffee in whole bean format. It is just coffee — Arabica beans, sourced from single-origin estates, hand-picked, sustainably processed, and roasted to a medium roast.

No added vitamins, no added mushroom extracts, no added Coffeeberry® or other ingredients. The bag contains coffee beans.

If you don’t have a grinder or prefer ready-to-brew convenience, the same coffee is also available in pre-ground format. For Nespresso users, it is also available as Nespresso-compatible pods.

Sourcing

Where the beans come from: Bulletproof sources beans from estate farms in Guatemala and Colombia on a six-month rotation — beans roasted between June and December come from a Guatemalan estate; beans roasted between December and June come from a Colombian estate. This pattern applies across all Bulletproof coffee roasts.

How the beans are picked: Hand-picked by experienced coffee harvesters who select only perfectly ripe berries. This contrasts with mass-harvest approaches that may include unripe or damaged beans.

How the beans are processed: Beans are sustainably washed and mechanically dried before roasting.

Brewing Notes

Whole beans give you full control over grind size, letting you dial in the ideal grind for your brewing method:

• Espresso — fine grind, per your machine’s recommendations
• Moka pot / AeroPress — fine-to-medium grind
• Drip / pour-over / syphon — medium grind
• French press — coarse grind, 4-minute steep
• Cold brew — coarse grind, 12–24 hour steep

Grind just before brewing for the freshest flavour. Whole beans preserve volatile aromatic compounds inside the bean until you grind — the moment beans are ground, they begin losing freshness rapidly. Grinding to order is one of the biggest single upgrades to home coffee quality.

The Bulletproof Coffee Recipe

"Bulletproof Coffee" is a popular preparation method that combines brewed coffee with grass-fed butter (or ghee) and MCT oil. It originated as a high-fat breakfast option for people on ketogenic or low-carb dietary patterns who want to skip a traditional carbohydrate-based breakfast.

The fats give the drink a creamy texture and a higher caloric content than plain coffee. Treat it as a meal rather than a beverage if using it as a breakfast replacement.

Packaging Notes

Whole beans stay fresher for longer than pre-ground coffee because the intact bean protects volatile aromatic compounds from oxidation. To extend freshness further, this product is packaged in a nitrogen-flushed bag with a one-way degassing valve — the nitrogen displaces oxygen at packaging, and the valve lets CO&sub2; from the beans escape without letting oxygen in. Bags stay fresh at room temperature for several weeks once received. For longer storage, unopened bags can be frozen (place tape over the degassing valve first to prevent moisture infiltration).
