What Is Mushroom Coffee? The Benefits & How to Enjoy It – With Cleo Brew

If you’ve heard the buzz about mushroom coffee, you’re not alone. This innovative drink has gained popularity across the UK for its smooth taste and the unique blend of coffee with functional mushrooms. At Cleo Brew, we’ve created a delicious, easy-to-make coffee alternative designed to fit into your daily routine — whether you're working from home, heading to the office, or finding a moment to reset.

What Exactly Is Mushroom Coffee?

Mushroom coffee combines roasted coffee with extracts from a variety of mushrooms that have been consumed for centuries around the world. At Cleo Brew, we blend organic coffee with six carefully selected mushrooms:
Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Shiitake and King Trumpet.

Don’t worry — it doesn’t taste like mushrooms. It tastes just like coffee. Smooth, earthy, and satisfying.

Why Are People Drinking It?

Mushroom coffee is becoming popular with people who are looking for:

  • A gentler coffee experience with a smoother feel

  • An alternative to high-caffeine energy drinks

  • A convenient way to include functional mushrooms in their day

Many of the mushrooms used in Cleo Brew have a long history of use in traditional wellness practices. While ongoing research continues to explore their potential, people choose mushroom coffee for its unique blend of flavour, tradition, and simplicity.

What Makes Cleo Brew Different?

Cleo Brew is proudly UK-based and made with a focus on quality, simplicity, and enjoyment. Rather than needing to buy multiple products, our blend brings together six functional mushrooms in one convenient scoop.

 

How to Enjoy Cleo Brew

Making Cleo Brew is as easy as making your regular instant coffee:

  1. Boil the kettle

  2. Add 1 scoop (around 6g) of Cleo Brew to your favourite mug

  3. Pour over hot water (not boiling – ideally around 90°C)

  4. Stir well and enjoy

Prefer it creamy? Add a splash of oat milk or your favourite dairy alternative. You can also blend it into smoothies, protein shakes, or even try it iced for summer.
