Flavor-Enhancing Tips
The unique, earthy-nutty taste of mushroom coffee isn’t for everyone. Try these tips to improve its flavor:
Choose the Right Coffee Base
Select a coffee bean that complements the subtle earthiness of mushroom extracts — a medium-roast with chocolate or nutty notes works especially well.
Balance Your Mushroom Blend
If you’re mixing your own blend, start with a 50:50 ratio of ground coffee to mushroom powders. Adjust to taste or pick a premixed option like our Espresso Coffee blend.
Try Functional Mushroom Powders
For homemade blends, combine equal parts of:
- Lion’s Mane
- Reishi
- Cordyceps
- Chaga
- Tremella
- Turkey Tail
Perfect Your Brewing Method
Experiment with immersion and press methods — French press, AeroPress, or a drip filter can all highlight different flavor notes.
Add Flavor Boosters
Sweeten your cup with honey, maple syrup, or flavored syrups. A dash of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a splash of your preferred milk can elevate the taste.
