It hasn’t been that long since fans of the keto diet went viral for putting butter in their cup of joe to make “bulletproof coffee.”
But Ashton Kutcher is giving them a run for their money, as his hack for making medium roast coffee taste more like a light roast resulted in Kelly Clarkson declaring his preference “gross.”
Kutcher visited “The Kelly Clarkson Show” recently, and during a segment where the actor and musician shared their obsessions, Kutcher revealed that he loves putting orange juice in his coffee.
“I think you might be alone here,” quipped Clarkson, prompting Kutcher to explain why he does it. “I’m not big on creamers, I don’t like creamers, I usually drink black coffee,” he shared, before stating that he prefers light roast coffee.
“One of the things about light roast black coffee is that it has citrus notes in it. And it’s one of the things that make it, it’s the acidity that sort of gives a brightness when you’re drinking coffee and so it doesn’t get that burnt sense about it.”
Kutcher continued, saying that if he has a medium roast coffee when he’d prefer a light roast, he likes to add “not very much, a splash, of orange juice and it brightens up the coffee.”
At this point in the conversation, Clarkson was following along, going so far as to say that she was willing to give it a shot. Kutcher clarified that she shouldn’t “go overboard. If you go overboard it gets all sorts of not fun.”
“It sounds gross but I’m going to try it,” said Clarkson.
Let us know how it goes, Kelly!
