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.

Energy & Focus Gum
Energy & Focus Gum is one of the few products in this category whose formula matches the evidence: a modest caffeine dose paired with L-theanine, clearly labeled. It won't transform your brain, but as a convenient, controllable caffeine hit it does what it says, provided the sugar alcohols and taste agree with you.
