The fact that I like margarine better than butter does not equal me
disliking butter. Just in case anyone wondered about that. I was
raised eating margarine so it's a comfort food for me. A cradle food.

Doug, have you ever eaten Kerry Gold butter (from grass-fed cows)?

Yes plus plenty of other brands of premium and super premium butters.

For some local brands I can tell the difference between the store brands
and the premium brands like Challenge in a side by side comparison test.
For some store brands I can't. If it's at a store that I can remember
being able to tell the difference I'll buy the premium brand.

I've tried the super premuim brands like Plugra and Kerry Gold. Some of
them I can tell from the premium brands in a side by side test. Others
I can't. I ended up concluding that for me it's not worth getting a
super premium brand other than for the fun of doing a side by side
comparison when I see a new one.

It tastes so good (and is so good for you) that I even have in my
morning coffee, along with some MCT oil (you can use coconut oil too).

I'm dubious that butter would work in coffee the way I like it. Sounds
like an idea for people who like their coffee hot enough to burn my
tongue.

I like to brew my coffee hot because it tastes better brewed hot. I do
not like to drink my coffee hot because it does not taste any better
that way. "Searing pain with a lingering aftertaste of burnt flesh on
the inside of my mouth" is not my idea of a good flavor. I pour my hot
brewed coffee over a few ice cubes to push it towards body temperature
before I drink it. That does not effect the flavor of the coffee as
long as I drink it in the next half hour. Except that it removes pain
from the equation.
