What is Kief Butter?
Kief is pure gold. It packs the highest percentage of c_binoids and T_C—way stronger than flower, which usually tests 12–25%. Kief hits 40–70% T_C, tastes cleaner, and is completely natural. Add it to a j, sprinkle it on your bowl, or cook with it—versatility is limitless.
How to Collect Kief
Start small with a grinder that has a kief catcher, like the Alpha Grinder.
For purer kief, use a dry sift or kief box with fine mesh filters (80–270 microns) to separate trichome heads from plant material. Place ground herb inside, shake gently for 30 seconds, and repeat. The more you sift, the lighter and cleaner the kief—almost off-white. Stack 3–4 layers of mesh for maximum purity; if it’s green, plant material is still mixed in.
How to Use Kief
Smoke it alone, crown a bowl, or mix into a j. Want a longer-lasting edible effect? Infuse it with fat first—mix decarbed kief into butter, cream, or coconut oil before adding to coffee or recipes. Start small; kief is potent.
How to Decarb Kief
Kief must be decarbed before using in edibles. Yes, it’s just as pungent as flower—but with the EdiBox, smells stay locked in and sticky kief slides easily on the non-stick surface. Kief decarbs faster than flower and can burn, so spread it in a thin layer, break up clumps, and heat at 240°F for 30–60 minutes depending on the amount. Once done, it darkens slightly, smells nutty, and may stay powdery or become sticky—depending on your strain.
Making Kief Butter & Coffee
Kief is ultra-efficient—use only a fraction of the flower you normally would.
Kief Coffee C_binoids bind to fat, so adding kief directly to black coffee may not be as effective. First, mix with fat for better absorption. Mix your decarbed kief into milk, cream, butter, or coconut oil before adding it to your coffee. Once mixed with fat, stir your infused ingredient into your coffee. Start with a small amount (about ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of kief) and adjust based on your tolerance. Enjoy your infused coffee for a smooth, long-lasting effect! ☕🔥
