Organic Traditions Endurance Fuel Instant Mushroom Coffee, 10oz

It grew in me. I didn’t like it the first time I had it; however, I am about to reorder it. I kind of got used to it.

Energizing Rich and almost dark latte-like Very much like coffee and is very energizing. No hint of mushroom taste even though that's certainly the power behind this drink along with the caffeine. The coconut milk lightens up the flavor so it's not espresso-like despite its strength. That it's instant makes this a quick process when you need its power. It was as quick as putting a tablespoon and a half into a cup, adding hot water, and a stir with a spoon. Given the ingredients, it needs a good mix for everything to properly dissolve. Overal a unique flavor and one that I'll keep coming back to. Great when you need that extra energy boost for a long busy day.

I like the benefits this coffee offers. It makes me feel better about being a coffee addict. The coffee mix smells really good, almost like a cookie mix. The taste, though, has a strong earthy flavor, and once I added the mix to hot water, the smell made me feel slightly nauseous. I ended up adding a bit to a different brand of coffee, but even there, I have to be careful not to put in too much or the flavor becomes apparent and overriding. I tried the Focus version from this same company and the nausea flavor/smell wasn't as strong in that mix. While I like the idea of the extras added to this coffee, it's not worth the nausea flavoring for me.

The Organic Traditions Endurance Instant Mushroom cup of coffee, is just not my cup o' 'shrooms. It comes attractively and conveniently packaged in a resealable, foil pouch. On opening, you can see that the powder is not uniformly one color, it is clearly a mixture of different components. However, it mixes up well in hot water and already has coconut milk in it so you do not necessarily have to add your own milk or vegan milk substitute. On the plus sign, this is all organic and EcoCert certified. The mix includes coconut milk, instant coffee, palm sugar, Maca X, cordyceps mushroom extract, cinnamon extract, and ashwagandha extract. For the 'endurance fuel' part, this has 135 mg of caffeine per cup. Just for reference an average 8 oz cup of Joe has 91 mg of caffeine, so one serving of this is like drinking 1 1/2 cups of coffee. Enough to give you that get up and go or, for some, a respectable amount of jitters. The problem for me was the taste. In spite of instant coffee being the first ingredient after coconut milk powder, there is zero coffee taste. Being as charitable as I can be, I would describe the flavor as being very earthy with a Crayola crayon like aftertaste that was just unpalatable for me. I tried dressing it up with more coconut sugar and adding almond milk, but the flavor but it was still a no go. I tried a variety of different sweeteners in combination with regular milk, oat milk, and almond milk, but I couldn't get it to a point where it was pleasantly palatable. I had my wife and kids taste test it as well and none of them liked it either. So on the very positive side, you get 350 mg of organic/EcoCertified cordyceps, 130 mg of ashwagandha extract, and 750 mg of maca root per cup. And 360 mg of caffeine, if you do that kind of thing before a workout. The quality of the ingredients is definitely up to snuff, but the taste just did not work for me. As we all have a different perception of taste, your milage may vary. I'm giving it 3 stars for quality of ingredients and presentation, but I can't add any more stars because of the taste.

Mushroom coffee is not for me. It looked creamy and smelled ok but one taste and I could not drink any more. I drink my coffee black so I thought it would be a good alternative. It has a high caffeine count and is labeled as endurance fuel so I thought I'd try it. It says to mix with hot water so I just put a coffee filter in the machine and brewed plain water so I knew it wouldn't be too hot or too cold. I put a tablespoon and a half into the hot water in my mug and stirred. The mixture did not fully dissolve. It was still quite clumpy even after stirring for awhile. My mug holds three cups of coffee, so there was plenty of water. I wanted to like this product, but the flavor is just not for me.

This may not appeal to most folks. It has a slightly repugnant aroma, and the taste isnt all that better. Interestingly, I dont mind it. Has more of a chocolate vibe than cinnamon & vanilla. I'll say.. "Choclate dirt with mild tang". I'll drink it any day! I get a boost of something.. like a little pep in my step. Weeeee! I have made it with 6 ounces of water, but certainly adjust for taste. I think most of these functional coffees taste better with more coffee (be mindful of caffeine) and or some additional cream. Or add a healthy splash of a creamy protein drink. Even some coffee syrups. However, I also find it totally doable on its own. I am used to products like this so I think my tolerance for foods and drinks not tasting like dessert is high. Fortunately, it is easy to work with if wanting to add it to something else (ie smoothie, yogurt), or add goodies into it. My next cup will be iced. Will be lovely over ice, added cream, maybe coffee syrup (vanilla or caramel me thinks). Mmmm As noted on packaging, it has 135 mg of caffeine per cup. 1.5 TBS serving size. Add to 6-8 ounces of water. (you do you) Organic, looks just like it does in the product picture (slightly clumpy, but totally instantly dissolves), light in color with bits of dark and white. Lots of information on the packet (can also be seen in product pictures). I really like when the product matches what I get and that there is no guessing. High rating for that alone. So.... 3.5 for taste, 5 for quality and integrity. Solid 4 stars from me. I would consider this again (again the flavor is not outside the norm for this type of stuff. It's like being mad that barley grass tastes like lawn and not cake). INGREDIENTS: organic coconut milk powder, organic instant coffee, organic coconut palm sugar, organic maca x-6, organic acacia fibre, organic cordyceps mushroom extract, organic cinnamon extract, organic vanilla flavour, organic ashwagandha extract, sea salt

This is most definitely a product that gets you jumping. It has a strong caffeine jolt that is sustained by the mushrooms. The result is focus and clarity. Add to that the fact that this is a very good coffee beverage is the icing on the cake. If you are an active person this will definitely help keep your energy level up. While it has a lot of caffeine it seems to be very gentle on my sensitive stomach and while giving a strong boost it doesn't make me feel jittery. I personally think that this is one of the best mushroom coffee that I've ever tasted that holds up well to non mushroom espresso. I've shared it with company and they all felt the same way. Just don't drink it in the evening, though!. Highly recommended!

I don’t like how organic or how healthy this so call Fuel Mushroom Coffee, the taste is just not worth it. I am a coffee lover but willing to give any coffee a try. This isn’t for me, like many other said, it’s have earthy taste and adding cream doesn’t work either. It’s 100% Organic Instant Mushroom Coffee with Cordyceps, Ashwagandha Extract & Maca, it’s all good but not for me. It doesn’t matter if it’s decaf or extra caffeine, it doesn’t affect me. I just can’t stand the taste. Make sure to use boiling hot water to dissolve the powder, more water and less powder.
