MUDWTR Coffee+ Review 2026

What Is MUD\WTR Coffee?

MUD\WTR :rise Coffee exists to solve a specific problem: you want the benefits of functional mushrooms, but you are not ready to give up the taste of coffee. Where MUD\WTR Original replaces coffee with cacao and chai, and Matcha replaces it with green tea, Coffee+ keeps the coffee — it just makes it better.

The formula blends organic Arabica coffee with Swiss Water decaf coffee, 2,250mg of functional mushrooms, and 125mg of L-theanine from green tea extract. The result is a drink that tastes like coffee, delivers half the caffeine of a regular cup, and provides smooth, jitter-free energy backed by Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga.

For the many people who have told us "I love the idea of mushroom coffee, but I just cannot give up the taste" — this is the product MUD\WTR built for you.

Ingredients Breakdown

The Coffee Blend

MUD\WTR Coffee uses a blend of organic regular coffee and organic Swiss Water decaf coffee. The Swiss Water process is important. Most decaf coffee is made using chemical solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate — compounds you probably do not want in your morning drink. Swiss Water uses only water, temperature, and time to remove caffeine from the beans, preserving the full flavor profile without any chemical residue.

By blending regular and Swiss Water decaf, MUD\WTR achieves a caffeine level of about 45mg per serving — enough to feel energized, but roughly half what you would get from a standard cup. The flavor is unmistakably coffee: roasted, slightly bitter, with the body and depth that coffee lovers crave.

L-Theanine (125mg)

This is what elevates MUD\WTR Coffee from "coffee with mushrooms" to something genuinely different. L-theanine is an amino acid naturally found in green tea that promotes calm alertness by increasing alpha brain wave activity. At 125mg per serving, this is a clinically meaningful dose — most L-theanine supplements recommend 100-200mg.

The combination of caffeine and L-theanine is one of the most well-studied natural focus stacks in existence. Research consistently shows that the pairing produces better attention, task-switching performance, and reduced susceptibility to distraction compared to caffeine alone. In practical terms, you get the alertness of coffee without the edgy, anxious feeling. It is the difference between feeling wired and feeling focused.

Functional Mushrooms (2,250mg)

The mushroom blend in MUD\WTR Coffee is consistent with the rest of the lineup: Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Reishi, and Chaga, totaling 2,250mg per serving. This is a meaningful dose — many standalone mushroom supplements recommend 1,000-2,000mg daily, so you are getting your full mushroom support in a single cup.

• Lion's Mane: Cognitive support and potential nerve growth factor stimulation. Complements the L-theanine for enhanced focus.
• Cordyceps: Energy and endurance support at the cellular level. Adds physical vitality to the mental clarity provided by caffeine and L-theanine.
• Reishi: Adaptogenic stress support and immune modulation. Helps balance the stimulating effects of caffeine.
• Chaga: Dense antioxidant support and immune function. One of the most nutrient-rich substances in the mushroom kingdom.

Taste and Preparation

Here is the headline: MUD\WTR Coffee tastes like coffee. Real coffee. Not "kind of like coffee" or "coffee-adjacent" — actual coffee. This is a genuine strength of the product. In a blind taste test with our team, most people could not identify which cup was MUD\WTR Coffee and which was regular coffee when both were prepared with oat milk.

The mushrooms do not add any noticeable flavor. There is no earthiness, no funk, no "mushroom taste" to speak of. The L-theanine is similarly undetectable. What you taste is smooth, medium- roast Arabica coffee.

Preparation is identical to instant coffee: add one tablespoon to 8-12 ounces of hot water, stir, and add your milk or creamer of choice. A frother improves the texture but is less critical here than with Original or Matcha — the coffee dissolves more readily. You can also make it iced by dissolving the powder in a small amount of hot water and pouring over ice with cold milk.

The Transition Strategy

One of the cleverest uses for MUD\WTR Coffee is as a transition tool. If you drink two or three cups of coffee per day and want to cut back, you can replace one cup at a time with MUD\WTR Coffee. Since it tastes the same, the ritual does not change — but your caffeine intake drops significantly.

Many users start by replacing their second or third cup of the day with MUD\WTR Coffee, keeping their first "real" cup. Over a few weeks, they shift to MUD\WTR Coffee for their first cup too. Some then transition further to MUD\WTR Original or Matcha. Others are perfectly happy staying on Coffee+ long-term — and that is a perfectly valid approach. Even replacing one cup of coffee with MUD\WTR Coffee cuts your daily caffeine by 45-55mg while adding 2,250mg of functional mushrooms.

Who Is MUD\WTR Coffee For?

• Coffee loyalists: If you love coffee and cannot imagine giving up the taste, MUD\WTR Coffee lets you keep everything you love while adding mushroom benefits and cutting caffeine in half.
• Gradual transitioners: If going from coffee to cacao-chai or matcha feels like too big a leap, Coffee+ provides a familiar stepping stone.
• People who get jitters from coffee: The 125mg of L-theanine makes a real difference. If coffee makes you anxious or jittery, this formulation smooths out those edges while maintaining the flavor you enjoy.
• Multiple-cup-a-day drinkers: Replace one or two of your daily coffees with MUD\WTR Coffee to significantly reduce your overall caffeine intake without changing your habits.

MUD\WTR Coffee is probably not the best fit if you want a completely different experience from coffee (try the Original), if you want zero caffeine (try Turmeric or Rest), or if you want the highest possible mushroom dose (Matcha wins at 3,000mg vs. 2,250mg).

Our Verdict

We give MUD\WTR :rise Coffee a 4.5 out of 5. It is the most accessible product in the MUD\WTR lineup — anyone who drinks coffee can pick this up and enjoy it immediately with zero adjustment period. The 125mg of L-theanine is a genuinely clever addition that transforms the coffee experience from "caffeinated" to "focused." And 2,250mg of functional mushrooms means you are getting meaningful daily mushroom support without having to take a separate supplement.

It scores slightly lower than Original and Matcha only because it is, by design, less ambitious. It is not trying to reinvent your morning routine — it is trying to quietly improve it. And at that goal, it succeeds beautifully.

If you love coffee and want to start getting mushroom benefits with zero learning curve, MUD\WTR Coffee is the obvious choice.
