Our verdicts
Coffee+ Mushroom Coffee (Mild Roast)
Everyday Dose is a tasty, gentle coffee alternative, and its caffeine-theanine pairing is a reasonable way to take the edge off coffee jitters. Treat the mushroom claims skeptically: the whole formula is a proprietary blend and the extracts appear to be present in small amounts, so you are mostly paying for a pleasant low-caffeine latte.

Original Mental Performance Shot
Magic Mind is a convenient, pleasant way to get a mild caffeine lift with L-theanine, and some people clearly enjoy the ritual. But at about $5 a shot with undisclosed ingredient doses, you are paying a large premium for a formula you cannot verify; much of the effect is achievable with matcha or coffee plus L-theanine.
