Our verdicts
Focus Mushroom Ground Coffee (formerly Think)
Focus is the easiest mushroom coffee to recommend if you simply want a good organic dark roast: it tastes like regular coffee and discloses its mushroom doses. Just don't expect the lion's mane or chaga to do much at 250 mg each, because the caffeine is doing the heavy lifting.

Mushroom Coffee
RYZE is a pleasant, lower-caffeine coffee alternative, and that alone may justify it for jittery coffee drinkers. As a functional product it is overhyped: the undisclosed six-mushroom blend is too small and too diluted to expect the benefits its marketing implies, and you pay a steep premium per cup.
