Less Wrong Product & Service Recommendations

lukeprog

I have often benefited from recommendations for Things I Didn't Know I Wanted.

Given that Less Wrong is a community of unusually intelligent, critical, and self-improvement-focused people, I suspect we can generate a pretty helpful thread of product recommendations — perhaps even a monthly thread of product recommendations.

Rules:

Post one product your recommend per comment, so they can be discussed and voted on independently.
Provide a link for purchasing the product.
No books, movies, TV, games, or music. (These should go in other threads, like this one or this one.)

I'll post my own recommendations to the comments section, too.

Bulletproof Coffee

Mold-free coffee+grass-fed butter+MCT oil. (You have to buy the ingredients separately.)

Gives me a feeling similar to when I take adderall.

I have an entire travel set dedicated to BP coffee. Make sure you blend, and don't forget the MCT oil.

1) Hario MSS-1B Mini Mill Slim Coffee Grinder

2) MSR MugMate Coffee/Tea Filter

3) Cuisinart Smart Stick Blender

4) Lock and Lock 10.8 oz butter container

5) Blender Bottle

6) GoobTube - to hold MCT oil in

The official "bulletproof coffee" beans I received had no aroma and little taste. So although the idea is sound, I wouldn't recommend the beans themselves (perhaps I got an old batch, and I did feel fine after consuming). The guy selling/promoting is recommends traditionally wet-processed coffee beans in general. I found Peets "Ethiopian Fancy(Whole Bean)" mail order to be superior in taste and freshness. Their in-store beans are refreshed weekly. I wonder why not high quality cream or whole milk instead of butter. That said, I am tolerating the taste/feel of unsalted butter (+MCT) in my espresso, and the energy+satiety is nice.

BP coffee is way better for me than other caffeine intake methods, and makes me not hungry as well as full of energy. It's just a shame that I hate coffee.
