FreshCap Mushrooms Ultimate Mushroom Complex – Coffee Mix 12:1 Fruiting Body Extract with 29% Beta-Glucans – Ayurveda Clean Energy, No Jitters, Focus & Immune Support (25 Servings - Mushroom Coffee)

I was expecting a not so pleasant flavor, but it reminds me of quality cocoa. I drink it with cream and sometimes a dallop of butter. I have no jitters or upset stomach with this like coffee gives me. Delicious, and feels like it's doing something good.

Very good liked...

I don't really know how to describe this. It tastes like a regular instant coffee, strong and bitter, although I do like black coffee. I don't like mixing coffee with milk in the mornings, so all this gives me the feeling that I'm drinking any old instant coffee. I'm going to have to read more about this coffee and find out what benefits it has when drunk like this, but I don't like it much. It's kind of acidic, too bitter. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to taste.

I ordered the 15 cup size of this mushroom coffee to compare it to the K-cup mushroom coffee I’ve been drinking the past few months. Although I like the brand I have, it was still causing occasional jitters and does not list how much caffeine it contains. I chose this brand because it contained more mushroom supplements than my current coffee, and listed the amount of caffeine. The coffee reviews said it did not cause jitters. Also, it had a much higher overall rating than other mushroom coffee brands. What I failed to notice is the reviews of this product are intermixed with reviews of multiple other products sold by this company. I later realized most of the positive reviews were for a supplement pill, not the coffee. First buyer beware. I also did not see the size of the 15 cup bag. It is incredibly small. A total of 1.85 ounces. It equates to fifteen 6 ounce cups of coffee. Not a very good value for the price, but I chalked that up to my lack of attention. Unfortunately, I opened the bag to make a cup of coffee when it arrived. I otherwise would have returned it. I flipped it over to read the directions- two scoops (3.5 grams) mixed with 6-8 ounces of boiling water. I reached inside the bag to find the scoop. No scoop provided. I re-read the directions to see if they provided some measurement of the “scoop”. Is it a teaspoon? Tablespoon? No clue was revealed. I jumped onto my phone and spent the next 10 minutes on a baking measurement calculator. I calculated that the powdered coffee was about the consistency of flour, and based the conversion of 3.5 grams upon that. A teaspoon equaled about 4.2 grams. Given that I desperately wanted coffee and was 15 minutes into this impromptu science experiment, I called it good enough. I measured two teaspoons into a mug and boiled 12 ounces of water. As I continued looking at the back of the bag while waiting for my electric kettle to boil, I noticed a child safety warning to keep the product out of reach of children. Although this makes sense with caffeine, I couldn’t recall seeing similar warnings on caffeinated products. I subsequently saw the California label underneath (see photo) stating that this product may contain hazardous chemicals and carcinogens including lead! 😱 (After doing some research, I learned that lead is an ingredient found in instant coffee that “may be” safe in trace amounts. I’m personally not comfortable with “may be”.) I almost didn’t make the coffee after reading this, but I decided to try it with the knowledge I would likely end up throwing it out. The taste was subpar compared to the brewed mushroom coffee I’ve been drinking. The instant coffee taste so overwhelming that I added a 3rd packet of sweetener to mute it. Not good quality. I finished most of it, except for the thick residue it left at the bottom. It did not make me gittery or result in a crash a few hours later. I guess it was effective in that regard. Lead aside, I probably would not purchase this item again due to the poor taste, inconvenient measuring, and high price point. The only positive was the lack of jitters and maybe the potential mushroom benefits. I can’t speak to that since I will not be drinking this again. However, in my personal opinion? A food product with a warning stating it contains hazardous chemicals including lead negates other potential positive health benefits. I am disappointed these warning labels were not listed on Amazon before I decided on this purchase. I wrote this review because it’s what I would have liked to have known prior to purchasing. My hope is to help other consumers make an educated purchase decision.

So I got the 15 serving package to try this out and it was a lot smaller than I expected but the real kicker is that it says 2 scoops is a serving and that equals 3.5 grams but there’s no scoop included. Lucky I had an old food scale and was able to play around with it. Apparently 3.5 grams of this stuff is close to 2 teaspoons. I’m pretty sure there is not going to be 15 servings in there if I have to use 2 teaspoons per serving. The only reason I’m giving it as many stars as it got is because it tastes great. I actually like the flavor and texture better than my regular coffee.

This taste really good! It taste like instant coffee but with a kick of earthiness. I work at Starbucks so I’m comparing it and even though it says it has medium roast instant coffee as an ingredient I’d say it’s more like a dark roast or if that’s just because of how much I used lol. But I’m trying it like the brown sugar shaken espresso with Oatmilk so haven’t drank it plain or hot yet but as a shaken espresso or ice coffee with some brown sugar which I use Monk fruit sugar, it’s not a bad replacement because I’m really trying to cut back on the amount of coffee I drink as it’s been messing with my energy levels and health. Another plus I don’t feel bloated after drinking it. It’s kinda small so for the price not bad but could use more oz for the price. and I used a lot of servings than it intends for but that’s only because I like my coffee strong tasting.

Really like this one. Tried a couple other brands which was awful but this one tasted like strong Real Coffee..Should of stuck with this one. This one bag made 14 cups my husband and I drank one daily and really like it.

I would not recommend this product. It pretty much tastes like dirt. Luckily the amount of powder in a bag isn’t that much, so you don’t have to suffer too much if you intend on finishing the bag. It’s disappointing because I’ve been trying to find a replacement for coffee. So my search for a good coffee replacement continues on.
