SAN FRANCISCO – For those seeking a different kind of morning boost, mushroom coffee has emerged as a popular alternative. These blends often combine coffee with medicinal mushrooms, promising enhanced focus and energy without the jitters. But do they live up to the hype?
A recent review explored two brands in detail, offering insights into their taste, effects, and overall value.
Four Sigmatic: A Blend That Delivers
Table of Contents
Four Sigmatic Organic Coffee for $17, founded a decade ago, offers a range of mushroom-infused products. Their Focus blend, a dark roast, avoids the harsh aftertaste often associated with similar blends. One reviewer noted that after a few days of use, the caffeine buzz normalized, leading them to add a bit more of the powdered Focus blend to their daily cup.

The reviewer experienced an increased urge to organize finances and engage in creative activities, even playing musical instruments late into the night.
MUD/WTR: A Complex Concoction
MUD/WTR Original Blend for $60 features a blend of ingredients, including turmeric, masala chai, and medicinal mushrooms. Though, achieving a smooth consistency proved challenging, requiring additional ingredients like simple syrup and milk to minimize a gritty aftertaste. The resulting beverage was described as a mix between a chai latte and hot cocoa.While not entirely disliked, the reviewer noted an undrinkable residue at the bottom of the cup and questioned whether the effects were more placebo than real.
