How to Hack the Caffeinated Coffee Butter That's Launching in Japan

Coffee butter has arrived to help you become a morning person, and no, we're not talking about Bulletproof Coffee, which is coffee made with butter. We're talking about butter made with coffee grounds, otherwise known as spreadable caffeine made for putting on your morning toast. The internet is buzzing about the coffee butter launching in Japan, and people are lucky enough to be able to buy it in stores there starting in March.

The spread, pictured above, is called Snow Brand Coffee Soft and is made by the Japanese company Megmilk Snow Brand Company. The company is known for its popular coffee, and to celebrate the milestone of selling the coffee for 55 years now, it's debuting this unusual butter. "The milky coffee will now be making its debut as a spread, designed to be used on bread and toast just like butter or margarine," according to Japan's Rocket News.

While we're sure this particular brand tastes uniquely awesome, there's a way to make coffee butter for yourself at home if you're hoping to re-create it. According to this recipe for homemade coffee butter from Get in My Mouf, all you need is heavy cream, ground coffee, powdered sugar, salt, and a cheese cloth. We have a feeling this buttery spread would be perfect with Japanese chocolate slices on toast. Here's to having a new coffee-related reason to hop out of bed!
