Surprising Mushroom Coffee Reviews 2025
We tested, tasted, and analyzed the top mushroom coffee brands for 2025. Discover which blends deliver real focus, energy, and flavor—and which ones fall short. MUD/WTR takes the crown, but the competition is fierce. Read on for our full breakdown!
#1 MUD/WTR
MUD/WTR remains the gold standard for mushroom coffee in 2025. Its unique blend of organic cacao, masala chai, turmeric, and six functional mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet) delivers a smooth, chai-like flavor with just 35mg of caffeine. The result? Gentle, sustained energy, improved focus, and no jitters or crashes.
- Flavor: Rich, warming, and slightly spicy—no earthy mushroom aftertaste.
- Mixability: Dissolves easily, especially with oat or coconut milk.
- Benefits: Noticeable focus, calm energy, and improved mood after 2 weeks.
- Downsides: Premium price, but justified by quality and results.
#2 Four Sigmatic
Four Sigmatic continues to be a strong contender, especially for those who prefer a more traditional coffee taste. Their blends focus on Lion's Mane and Chaga, with a robust, earthy flavor profile. The caffeine content is higher than MUD/WTR, making it a good choice for those who want a stronger kick.
- Flavor: Earthy, bold, and slightly bitter—closer to real coffee.
- Mixability: Some clumping, best with a frother.
- Benefits: Noticeable focus and energy, but can be too stimulating for caffeine-sensitive users.
- Downsides: Pricey, and some blends require sweetener to mask bitterness.
#3 Ryze Mushroom Coffee
Ryze has gained popularity for its creamy texture and adaptogen-rich formula. It combines six mushrooms with MCT oil for a latte-like experience. The taste is milder than Four Sigmatic, but not as complex as MUD/WTR. Good for those who want a gentle introduction to mushroom coffee.
- Flavor: Mild, creamy, and slightly nutty—easy to drink daily.
- Mixability: Excellent, thanks to added MCT oil.
- Benefits: Smooth energy, but less pronounced focus boost than top picks.
- Downsides: Contains coconut, which may not suit everyone.
#4 Laird Superfood
Laird Superfood offers a unique take with a focus on performance and clean ingredients. The taste is more mushroom-forward, which can be polarizing. It's a good fit for athletes or those who want a more "natural" flavor, but it's not for everyone.
- Flavor: Strong mushroom notes, less sweet and more earthy.
- Mixability: Decent, but can be gritty if not blended well.
- Benefits: Good for endurance and recovery, thanks to added minerals.
- Downsides: Acquired taste, and some may dislike the texture.
Other Notable Brands
There are dozens of new mushroom coffee brands in 2025, but most fall short in taste, mixability, or effectiveness. Some worth mentioning: Sun Alchemy, Peak Performance, and Clevr Blends. These offer unique blends but didn't impress as much as our top picks.
- Flavor: Varies widely—some are too earthy, others too bland.
- Mixability: Most require a blender for best results.
- Benefits: Some unique adaptogen blends, but effects are inconsistent.
- Downsides: Pricey for what you get, and quality control can be an issue.
