Four Sigmatic Focus Organic Mushroom Coffee | Instant Mushroom Coffee Mix with Lion's Mane, Chaga and Rhodiola for Better Focus and Immune Support | 10 Packets

I'm a first time buyer. I have had three cups of this in the evening. Very flavorful. Doesn't bother my stomach. If this 10 pack of instant is this good and helps then I will most likely purchase more. Great price if you only want to try.

I bought this to help me have sustained energy and focus better at work. I have recently given up drinking energy drinks. I also have adult ADHD and this really does help me to be able to get my work completed while staying on task and not tiring out. I mix a packet in with my regular coffee to boost it up a bit. I only sip on my coffee on and off throughout my shift so the caffeine intake is pretty low since I only do one cup today compared to what I was doing with the energy drinks. I don't get the jitters and I don't get a caffeine crash. I can definitely feel a difference when I use the think powder opposed to when I don't. It seems to even help with my mood. Honestly I have become hooked on the way it makes me feel. It is not a psychedelic mushroom in any way but the nootropic effects are evident. I think that this works even better than the supplement pills that I have tried. It does not taste like mushrooms but it does have an earthy savory kind of taste. I have also mixed this with my cocoa and it heightened the flavor which was actually quite delicious! If you're going to add it to a cold drink I would suggest mixing it with just a little bit of hot water first because it doesn't seem to dissolve as nicely in cold beverages as in hot ones. You can drink it on its own without mixing it and something else. I'm sure it would taste just fine that way as well. I wish that they would sell a box that includes more packets because it seems like I am buying it every week but would prefer to just buy a large box. The packets are much easier for me to use because they're already pre-measured and easy to take with me on the go. If you are on the fence about buying this just try it and I'm sure you'll be glad that you did!

This was initially sent to me by my best friend as a gift for my birthday. She knows I like "elixirs" and treat my body to whole foods, mostly plant-based, so this was a "winner"...not some frilly thing that will sit around and collect dust, but something I could "instantly" (pun intended), open and enjoy! I like it so much in fact, I have since purchased another box and signed up for "subscribe and save" at two boxes per month. So, I'm sold, for now, but I would like the company to consider some changes. Here are my additional thoughts on the pros and cons...Pros: All of the ingredients are organic and if I'm understanding the marketing correctly, "wild". With the marketing term "Wildcrafted" on the box, I have this vision of someone with organic dirt under their fingernails out foraging the damp forest bed for wild mushrooms, but I'm thinking that might just be some crafty subliminal messaging on Four Sigmatic's part. Good job, FS! :) I'm all about the phytochemicals, so this product is right up my alley! God gave us plants for enjoyment, health and healing...for this I am so incredibly grateful! It makes me a little giddy to make this my "coffee of choice". Pricing...when compared to a Starbucks coffee, for example (which is total dung -- why do people drink that?), the price is decent I suppose. The flavor is incredibly smooth and not the least bit acidic! This is likely my favorite feature of the product. I am not an instant coffee kinda girl. I have always brewed my own shade-grown, organic coffee, so a product that is "instant" would have to be good, really good, to entice me to switch! This product has done that! There is the convenience factor -- it literally takes me about a minute and a half to boil 8 ounces of alkaline water. I'm a flavor junkie so while the water is reaching a boil I really punch up each packet of the mushroom coffee mix with the addition of raw, unfiltered honey, raw cacao, Ceylon cinnamon and a shot of grass-fed butter or organic heavy whipping cream in the bottom of my mug. I mean seriously, with those added, we're talking pure delight! It's a daily "event" for me! I am super-sensitive to the effects of caffeine and I have never, ever felt jittery using this product. In fact, I've had a rather pleasant side effect that I can only attribute to use of this product. I struggle with anxiety, yet interestingly, on the days when I drink this, I feel a sense of calm, I would describe as "woosah" because no other word seems to do the feeling justice. It's almost like the calm I feel from taking magnesium.Cons: So, back to the packaging for a moment. It definitely falls in the convenience category...I mean, what's easier than tearing a packet open and dumping the contents into hot water, mixing, and drinking? However, I do have some gripes about the packaging. I would MUCH rather have this coffee elixir available loose in a tin of some sort that allows me to measure it out myself. Each time I throw away a packet (sometimes 7 or more a week) I find it a bit ridiculous (and annoying). The packet could (and should IMHO) be a paper product, rather than a plastic packet (I'm not certain it's plastic, but it does feel and look "plasticy"). The cardboard box that the ten packets arrive in always gets to me crushed (except on the rare occasion it is shipped in a box, rather than a shipping envelope). It does not affect the integrity of the packets, but it does render the box unusable. Again, the packets are convenient, and do have their place (like taking them on-the-go), however, for most daily home or office use situations, I would much rather have a bulk bin. The product is a little on the pricey end when you consider the cost of each component separately. I mean, I'm all for capitalistic America and making a profit, but it does seem a bit extreme of a profit margin. My final gripe is more of an annoyance than anything else. On the packaging it reads, "BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS TASTES LIKE COFFEE." You don't say? I would imagine it does since it's 80%+ coffee. I get it, more marketing, but still...it's just annoying.So, in a nutshell: It's convenient, it's smooth and delicious but please work on getting the price down a bit with bulk-dose packaging. I want a bulk option to measure out myself! Get that fixed and I'll gladly throw all FIVE STARS your way! Thanks, Four Sigmatic, for introducing such a great product into the marketplace and for educating folks on the power of the 'shroom!

This is my favorite little treat after working late—right before bed. It helps me wind down and even lessens my late-night cravings. The flavor has such a comforting and satisfying note; it's the perfect way to end the day on a high note. A true guilty pleasure without the guilt!

Tastewise, it's a very basic light/medium instant coffee. You don't taste any sort of mushroom flavour. It dissolves beautifully in hot water - no clumps or gritty bits. I haven't bothered to try it in any kind of milk. Would definitely be easy to travel with as lot as you have access to boiling water/electric kettle of some kind. The amount of product in each packet is very small (to help you compare mentally, this is 2.5g and your more typical Starbucks Via stick size is 3.3g), and to me tasted best in no more than 5 ounces of water - anything more than that and it would taste really, really weak, in my opinion.For the additional cognitive impact of the THINK version, unfortunately it didn't seem to work for me. I didn't notice any difference in my cognitive function and memory compared to days where I had 'normal' coffee or tea. But I wouldn't rule it out just based on my experience - I'm a hard case, I have severe ADHD and other chronic health conditions that mean that even with Adderall, I'm still fighting constant brain fog and working memory issues. It may be that this product isn't a high enough dosage for my Mount Everest level of cognitive fuzziness, or maybe Lion's Mane just isn't the right supplement for me. I've had friends who absolutely swear by it for helping their ADHD, so I don't want to tell anyone not to give this product a shot if they're curious.Just be aware it may end up being nothing more than some expensive instant coffee, and pretty average flavour at that, so take that into account when deciding if it's worth buying because this is VERY pricy for what you get.
