This stuff is changing my life! I am a working mom and I used to drink 4-5 STRONG BIG cups of coffee a day. It wasn't doing the trick anymore, but I kept drinking that much. I'd get jittery and end up feeling drained. The first day I tried this I was first impressed by the fact that it just tastes like regular coffee. Maybe not my absolute favorite roast, but good regular coffee. But what really bowled me over is that after one cup of coffee (and I made a whole french press), I was done. I felt more energized and alert than I had felt in a really long time. I never did have a second cup of coffee that day.
Fast forward a week and this has continued and even increased. Even on a day when I'd gotten very little sleep and given myself "permission" to have as much regular coffee as I wanted, I didn't feel the desire after I had one cup of this. Without having so much caffeine, my sleep has been better and I've needed less help "coming down" in the evening (i.e. with kava, or a glass of wine or two). I feel like I am getting off of that rollercoaster of lightweight uppers (coffee) and downers (wine in the evening, kava, sleep aid if needed) that I have been on for years. As such, I am feeling more naturally energetic and alert with no effort or issues.
Also, I am not sure if I can totally attribute this to the coffee, but my husband and child both got sick within that week, and I managed to dodge it. That rarely happens for me.
I'll update this review after I have used this longer but so far I am thrilled with this product. It costs more than my regular coffee, but I am having SO MUCH LESS of it that it kind of works out the same. My husband likes it too. Thank you Four Sigmatic!
I decided to try this coffee; mostly because mushrooms are so good for you and this would be a way to get them in daily. I always read reviews first and most were good; a few not so good. I have a very sensitive palate; yes I'm a persnickety foodie. Which means I am extremely particular about what I ingest and consider to be taste worthy. Well this coffee is "the bomb." I expected a woodsy embued cup of joe that would leave me saying to myself, " You knew it was going to be infused with mushrooms; what really did you expect? I can't tell you how plesantly surprised I was this morning. This coffee is delicious!!! I can detect only the very slightest possibility of mushroom infusion and it is really an after thought; bottom note. The coffee itself was dark roasted, full of flavor and very smooth. The only con is the price. I guess you have to weight the health benefits. Mushrooms, according to many experts; one if them being the very respected Dr. Joel Furhma; Mushrooms seem to be almost magical in promoting health benefits. From fighting respiratory infections to cancer. Anyway, I will buy this again AND plan to check out this company's (Four Sigmatic Mushroom) other mushroom products. 🐷
This coffee with Lion's Mane and Chaga mushroom extracts has changed my morning routine forever. I gave up coffee about 6 months ago as it was not agreeing with my stomach--often causing indigestion--and was leaving me crashing in the early afternoon. Soon after I discovered Four Sigmatic's instant coffee blend that gave me ZERO negative side effects and had me energized without jitters or stomach issues throughout the whole day. Now they have true ground coffee which makes the experience that much more wonderful! I can finally whip out my french press again! I am obsessed with this stuff.. It tastes great and offers some wonderful healing benefits. Could you ask for more!?
Both my husband and I are big coffee snobs. I bought the dark roast chaga/lion's mane blend for the hubbs as a treat, despite telling myself I wasn't going to spend unnecessary money (we're saving for a big trip). However, the man deserves a treat - he's amazing. So, he gets up early this morning to brew some and afterward comes into the bedroom to tell me that this is the only coffee he ever wants to drink again. So much for budgeting. It's worth it, though, since both chaga and lion's mane are so powerful medicinally.
I'm drinking a cup as I type this, and I'm not a dark roast fan. To my palate, dark roast tastes a little burnt (I brew in a Chemex with 200F pure water). I also have a wonky heart, and a genetic SNP that wonks up my ability to metabolize caffeine, so I typically do half caff anyway. I'm looking forward to trying the medium roast decaf with reishi / chaga. I love Four Sigmatic and what they're doing, so I'm happy to support. <3
Shocked at how good this coffe is! I am so fussy about coffee, well this has chnaged my coffe brand for the first time in 17 years. The mushroom addition helps my immune system so much. Wow...just wow!

I really like it. Doesn't do much for my brain, but at least doesn't hurt my stomach. But for the cost, the taste could be better. Don't think I'll reorder.
I’ve been on the market for a healthier Keurig coffee for a while now and was very excited to discover this Four Stigmatic one. Keurig coffees usually give me all kinds of stomach issues, but so far this hasn't given me any. I've also now been reading more about the superfood chaga and I'm blown away of its benefits. I really hope it could maybe help me with my digestive issues. I'm not a crazy coffee connoisseur, but I was very happy that this didn't taste like mushrooms at all, as I'm not a big fan of their flavor. I think this surprisingly tasted just like any other coffee. This is also organic and fair trade, which is a nice bonus. I'm definitely switching all my Keurigs for this now, and even bought the relaxing reishi hot cacao to try that as well.
I drink a cup of this everyday. It tastes good and it's easier on my stomach than normal coffee. I feel more aware. I haven't gotten the flu or a bad cold during this winter season and I didn't get a flu shot. That's shocking because I work in retail. So maybe it really does boost the immunity system.
I usually drink nespresso, which I LOVE! After switching from kuerig pods to nespresso I will never return to "deli" coffee again. My coffee taste buds are now to snobby to even drink coffee in a restraunt without complaining about how awful it is. lol. BUT, this coffee is DELICIOUS! I did a pour over, one packet of pyure stevia and Heavy whipping cream. Delicious! You will have to play around with coffee and water amounts until you have the strength of coffee flavor you like but it is smooth, no jitters, easy on the tummy. I cannot find anywhere how much actual caffeine is in a serving so if anyone is able to locate that information I would be greatful to know. Recommend with 2 thumbs up. Also cheaper here then their website.
A tasty coffee, especially since I wasn't sure what to expect from it in the first place, given that it's made from mushrooms. Bought it for someone else who shared a cup with me, my main intention was to share out the health benefits that come with Lion's Mane and Chaga. So far, I have not turned into a mushroom yet, so you can safely consume this. You literally wouldn't know it's made from mushrooms, and that's fine, because after the mushroom-ice cream incident, I know my limits. So if anyone is wondering, yes, it tastes like coffee, as coffee should. Sort of like a mild roast.
