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.
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.
For one thing, butter works ok for people like me who are lactose intolerant, whereas milk would not.
