How do you make mushroom coffee, using a drip percolator or a French press, as you would any other kind of coffee. The key difference is that you add mushroom powder to your ground coffee in place of any other ingredients. Many companies such as Four Sigmatic and Ryze sell pre-packaged adaptogenic mushroom blends, in both powder and extract form that are meant to be mixed with standard ground coffee. These mushroom coffee blends usually include ingredients such as Reishi, turkey tail, chaga, Lion’s mane and cordyceps. These mushrooms are known to offer benefits such as stress relief, increased energy, immune support and enhanced brain function.

How Do You Make Mushroom Coffee? A Simple DIY Guide

When selecting mushroom extracts to use in your coffee, be sure you’re buying a product that uses only organic, whole mushroom-fruiting bodies. Avoid products that contain grain starch, brown rice and other fillers as they will have a different flavor profile and will only deliver some of the mushrooms’ beneficial compounds.

When you’re ready to brew your mushroom coffee, start with the highest quality water possible. This will help to keep the coffee tasting good. We recommend filtered or spring water over tap water as it has less chemicals and thus fewer odors that will affect the taste of your coffee.
