Best Mushroom Coffees for Bloating & Puffiness, Ranked

#1 Habitone

1. Habitone Functional Coffee

Pros:

• This was the one that actually settled my stomach. About a week in I realized I’d gotten through a whole morning without tugging at my waistband, and through the second week it kept easing until I mostly stopped thinking about my middle at all. My gut just felt calmer, like it wasn’t fighting me all day. I can only speak for myself here, but the difference was hard to ignore.
• Tested for mycotoxins and mold (most coffee isn’t), high quality ingredients. That mattered way more than I expected once I realized my stomach was the thing I was trying to fix.
• The puffiness in my face eased off too, which I honestly wasn’t expecting. I noticed it in a photo my sister took around day 10 before I noticed it in the mirror. That heavy, holding-on-to-everything feeling lifted with it, and digestion just felt easier. Not transformed, simply comfortable in my own skin again.
• The taste was a 10/10 for me! My favorite by far. A rich and robust coffee taste as the base is real organic coffee extract, and it was the only one where I couldn’t taste the mushrooms or any of the extra healthy nootropics they added. This is the reason I stuck with it long enough to notice anything at all. It never once felt like I was ‘giving up’ coffee or sacrificing on taste for the health benefits.
• Steady energy and focus through the day too, without that wired, edgy feeling I used to blame on my second cup.
• Offers one-time purchase
• Offers money-back guarantee
• They now have Protein Coffee which is AMAZING.

Cons:

• Not available on Amazon or any retail. (though I found their site extremely ease to purchase from)

Effects: 10/10

Taste: 10/10

#2 Four Sigmatic

Pros:

• My stomach did settle a little on this one. Nothing dramatic, but by the second week I noticed I wasn’t quite as bloated by mid-morning as I usually am. A small step in the right direction, just not the fix I was hoping for.
• I liked the taste but it just didn’t taste as good as #1. Good coffee notes but very dark/strong coffee flavor and you could taste the mushrooms.
• Available in grounds, instant and whole bean.
• Wide selection of products. Supplements, creamers, lattes and protein powders available.
• Tested for mycotoxins and mold, high quality ingredients - all organic!
• Money-back guarantee

Cons:

• It made me feel jittery, and the puffiness in my face was exactly the same the whole 12 days.
• At 65mg of caffeine per serving I thought the claims of it having ‘half the caffeine’ were a bit exaggerated. The average cup of coffee is closer to 100mg.
• Expensive ($1.58 per serving or $1.30 if you subscribe) + $8 postage
• Despite claims on their website about it having ‘no mushroom flavor’ I actually found the taste quite mushroom forward.
• Difficult to understand the difference between products like ‘Think’ and ‘Focus’. Lots of overlapping ingredients and health benefits might cause confusion.

#3 Everyday Dose

Pros:

• I think it took a bit of the edge off the bloating. Some mornings I felt a touch lighter than normal, but it was hit or miss and never really added up to my belly actually feeling calm.
• The collagen makes it so creamy!
• Mixes easily (without frother) and no residue left in mug
• Not the earthy, shroomy taste present in some of the others
• Lots of goodies with free spoon and frother

Cons:

• The collagen has a strong taste that you may find overpowering or unpleasant. I didn’t realize it was the ingredient I was tasting until I compared it side by side to some of the other brands and it’s definitely an acquired taste. This was my main gripe!
• The dosing is wildly off. I went through my 30 serving bag in about 16 days because they recommend 2 servings for just 7oz of water. This is a very heavy ratio compared to the others. When I looked up customer reviews this was a very common complaint. It basically makes the coffee twice as expensive as advertised.
• They are very sneaky with their subscription model. It’s not at all obvious that you will be billed again every 30 days. I prefer a clear opt in for product subscriptions and judging by the negative reviews so do their customers!

#4 Mud\Wtr

Pros:

• Contains 4 functional mushrooms and some great spices too for flavor and antioxidant benefits.
• Tested for mycotoxins and mold, high quality ingredients - all organic!
• Offers one-time purchase
• Every purchase donates back to mental health

Cons:

• Did nothing for the bloating for me. Twelve days in and my stomach felt exactly as puffy and heavy as it did on my regular coffee.
• Tastes both bland and bitter at the same time. I really wanted to love this but the turmeric was very overpowering.
• Practically zero caffeine with a base of black tea. Has 1/7th the caffeine of a traditional cup whereas the other brands on this list had at least half the volume. This might be a pro for those trying to cut caffeine completely but for those looking to simply reduce and find a healthier coffee substitute this goes too far.
• Very water-y unless you bulk up on creamer which goes against my wish for a healthier cup.
• Gritty. Does not mix well (even with frother), wastes so much of the blend. It was super frustrating to see all these precious ingredients leftover at the bottom of my mug.
• More expensive ($1.67 per serving or $1.33 if you subscribe) + $5 shipping

Effects: 4/10

Taste: 6/10

#5 Ryze

Pros:

• 6 functional mushrooms - great variety compared to other mushroom coffees.
• Price ($0.90 per serving)
• Mixes easily (without frother)
• Contains non-dairy creamer, comforting creamy consistency. Easy to travel with as this is already mixed in.

Cons:

• This is the brand that got me into mushroom coffee in the first place. Their ads followed me around for months and the one that finally got me was all about bloating and puffiness, so I wanted this to work more than any of the others on the list. Twelve days in, that was the one thing it did not do for me. My stomach was just as tight and uncomfortable by mid-morning as it always had been, and I was back to picking the loosest shirt in the closet.
• Taste. This one is really for the mushroom coffee lovers. It was very earthy and mushroom forward. This just didn’t satisfy my coffee cravings at all because the taste was so wildly different.
• Subscription only. Yes you can just purchase and then cancel right away but I hate the hassle.
• Too little of each mushroom to have dramatic benefit. This is a red flag with any of these products when there are too many ingredients, they can’t pack an effective dose into one single spoonful.
• The unsubscribe flow feels like it was made hard on purpose.
