Protein coffee?

I see a lot of you make "protein coffee" in the morning. I'm assuming it's just protein powder in your coffee. However, when I do that i can never dissolve the protein powder. Any tips or tricks? 

TIA

It will make a mess if the protein powder is poured into the hot coffee.  Here's how I do it.....mix your protein powder with water/milk (your preference) and mix it into a pasty slush.  Pour your cup of coffee and slowly add the protien mixture into the hot coffee.  Some people allow the coffee to cool a little before adding, I don't I like mine hot.  As long as my protein is thin and mixed well with a cool liquid and slowly added I've had no problems.

Yep.  Mix the protein powder with a couple ounces milk or room temp water until it forms a smooth paste, then stir that paste into your hot coffee.

I have an iced protein coffee every morning. I make 8oz of coffee each night and stick it in the fridge. In the morning in a shaker bottle I add the coffee, 4 oz milk, a little SF creamer and my protein, shake and pour over ice. Yum!

Click also makes coffee flavored protein that many rave about.  I don't like it ... but I haven't met a protein shake that I do like.

I put a little skim milk in my hot coffee first to cool it down a bit, then I add a scoop of protein and use a hand wisk to mix it in.  works pretty well for me.

I haven't found a way to have a hot protein coffee drink, so I use Nesquik NoSugar Added Hot Cocoa mix, along with a scoop of nf dried milk and a heaping tablespoon of instant coffee (a dark blend).  It's not really high in protein (only about 8-10 grams) but it is a hot drink rather than a luke-warm one.

I use the Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino for a protein drink that tastes like iced coffee which gives me about 25 grams of protein.

I noticed that on some protein powders that clumping (or re-clumpling..is that even a word?) can occur if the temp of the liquid is above 140 deg.
