Blueprint by Bryan Johnson Super Shroom Coffee – Mushroom Coffee with Lion’s Mane, Reishi & GABA – 70mg Caffeine – Focus & Energy Coffee – Adaptogenic Coffee Alternative – 30 Servings

Yummy

Depending on how much you believe in the power of mushrooms, this coffee alternative will either be good enough you don't mind the taste or else not worth adding to your morning. I will add the caveat that this works fine if you add it to existing coffee or cocoa and you just want the benefits of the mushrooms. But if you want this as your main drink, its not exactly a flavor I would go to each time.

Love the product, tastes better than I thought it would and has the right amount of caffeine. I have read many times that most people need to eat more mushrooms, this is my easy way to do it personally.

I'm glad for a chance to try this through Vine, but I'm not sure I'd buy this as a beverage. I'm not that fond of the flavor, and it's too hard to tell how beneficial it is for health.

This recommends 6-8oz of water for one scoop. Going by recommended serving with 8oz is kinda small for the mugs I use and the scooper size seems like it's very little for the amount of water used. My first impression is it tasted like it was kinda bland but not bad by any means, it's soothing in that the texture is good as you drink it and you get used to it quick. Going by recommended serving and portion amounts my grandmother immediately liked it and has had quite a few drinks of this herself, and one of her friends liked it too. I couldn't get anyone else to try this since not everybody is up for the idea of mushroom coffee.When I try this as a double serving using 2 scoops and 16oz of water it doesn't come out as good despite being the same ratio of mushroom coffee powder and water, I'm assuming it's due to the consistency of the drink since some of the material settles to the bottom needing frequent stirring. I tried single and double sized multiple times and it just comes out better every time when I do the single serving.Drinking this makes me feel good. If it be from the 4 blend of mushrooms, caffeine, or GABA in this or a combo of everything, it has a positive nootropic effect on me. This occurs both with single and double serving but I need to be on a near empty stomach to notice it on a single serving.I like to have deserts with coffee or hot chocolate, unfortunately this doesn't really compliment deserts well. It's not going to ruin it but it just doesn't compare with actual coffee or hot chocolate if you like to pair the drink with cookies, pastries, or anything else. This works best as a standalone drink and I do prefer it over regular coffee as a standalone.

Couldn't get this to taste great, maybe if you added a bunch of other classic coffee things to it but as a stand alone black coffee replacement for me it falls short.

I'd head about mushroom coffee alternatives for a while and was interested in the health benefits. But, with that said, I'm a bit of a coffee snob (i.e., my morning routine begins with a pour over in which I'm measuring the beans I'm grinding and the water I'm adding (each to the gram) and thinking about grind consistency, water temperature, roast of the bean, etc.I am telling you all this because I would not have been surprised if I had really disliked this instant coffee equivalent... but here's the thing... I actually do like it much more than I would have thought.To be sure, it's simple to make (i.e., add one scoop of the pre-ground powder - using the included scoop) and then add 6-8 ounces of hot water (or about 200 grams). Mix it all up and you get a cup of instant joe that.... well, the taste won't win any coffee roasting competitions (i.e., you're not going to find floral notes, etc.) but it does (in my opinion) taste better than many of the coffees that I've drank in my life. For example, the first cup I made tasted more interesting and better than most of the cups of coffee I get on flights, better than much of the overroasted pre-ground coffees I've tried, better than most of the pods I've drank, and even better than some of the fresh beans I've purchased and ground myself.Again - I'm not saying I love the taste. But I do find it interesting and likable and I do appreciate the amount of thought that they put into making it taste good without just trying to make it be a 1:1 replacement for generic over-roasted coffee.Now - beyond the (good but not amazing) taste, I like everything else about this product. It's vegan, non-GMO, no gluten, lab-tested, and filled with good mushrooms as well a bit of cinnamon (which, while I didn't taste it, is also reputed to offer health benefits). To be clear, I cannot and am not speaking to any health benefits of this product - but I am happy with my first experiences with mushroom coffee.

I expected this product to taste similar to my usual coffee, with just a hint of mushroom, but it turned out to be quite different. When I first opened the package, the powder had a scent reminiscent of cocoa powder. (Chocolate lovers, don’t get too excited—there’s no actual chocolate in it.) Once I added hot water, the aroma transformed into something more earthy with a hint of cinnamon. I didn’t detect any chocolate notes after mixing.To prepare it, you simply add one scoop (included) to 6 to 8 ounces of hot water. It dissolved easily when stirred with a spoon. The beverage provided me with a steady energy boost without upsetting my stomach, and it’s packed with beneficial ingredients.Will I replace my regular coffee with this? Probably not. However, it’s a solid alternative, and I do plan to finish the bag.
