Why I Started Drinking Mushroom Coffee: My 30-Day Experience

I used to think I couldn’t function without my morning coffee. The rich aroma, the warmth of the mug in my hands—it felt like a ritual, a necessity. But over time, I started to notice things I didn’t love about my daily habit.

By noon, I’d crash. Hard. My energy would plummet, leaving me foggy, irritable, and reaching for a second (or third) cup just to stay productive. If I tried to cut back, the headaches would remind me just how hooked I really was.

And that’s what started to bother me the most—I didn’t like feeling dependent on coffee to get through my day.

Discovering a Better Way

I stumbled across an ad for BRYT Mushroom Coffee while scrolling one night. I’ll admit—I was skeptical. I’d heard about mushroom coffee before but assumed it was either a gimmick or would taste like, well, mushrooms.

But something about BRYT caught my attention. It wasn’t just a caffeine alternative; it had functional mushrooms, collagen, and a promise of steady energy without the crash.

So, I did what I always do when I consider a big change—I researched. I read about Lion’s Mane for focus, Cordyceps for energy, and Reishi for stress relief. I checked out reviews. And finally, I thought: Why not?

I decided to take a 30-day challenge—no regular coffee, just BRYT. Here’s what happened.

Week 1: Adjusting & Surprises

I won’t lie—the first few days were an adjustment. Not because I missed my coffee (surprisingly, I didn’t), but because I expected a caffeine withdrawal headache. It never really hit. BRYT has 49mg of caffeine per serving, enough to keep me from crashing but not enough to make me jittery.

And the taste? Smooth, earthy, a little nutty. I added a splash of almond milk and cinnamon, and by day three, I actually started looking forward to it.

Week 2: No More Midday Slumps

This was the thing that converted me. Normally, I’d feel that familiar energy dip around 1–2 PM, but with BRYT, it just… never happened. My energy stayed steady, and for the first time in a while, I didn’t feel the need to reach for a second cup of coffee.

I also noticed something unexpected—my bloating was gone. Coffee had always been a little harsh on my stomach, but BRYT actually made me feel lighter.

Week 3: The Focus Boost

By the third week, I realized I was getting more done in less time. I wasn’t scrambling to stay awake or chugging water to combat dehydration from too much coffee. My focus felt sharper—whether I was deep in work, helping my kids with homework, or squeezing in a morning yoga session.

I also slept so much better. My usual coffee habit often left me wired late into the evening, but with BRYT, I felt relaxed when it was time for bed.

Week 4: The Habit Shift

By the final week, something clicked—I wasn’t just “trying” mushroom coffee anymore. It had become my new normal.

I didn’t feel the same cravings I once had for coffee. I loved the ritual of making my BRYT cup in the morning, and more importantly, I loved how I felt. No crashes. No stomach discomfort. No caffeine rollercoaster. Just sustained energy, focus, and a sense of balance.

Would I Recommend It? 100%

After 30 days, I can confidently say I’m not going back to regular coffee. BRYT gave me everything I wanted—energy, focus, and a delicious morning ritual—without the things I didn’t (crashes, bloating, and caffeine dependency).

If you’re on the fence about trying mushroom coffee, I get it—I was too. But if you’ve been feeling off, dealing with caffeine crashes, or just want to make a healthier choice, this might be exactly what you need.

Take the 30-day challenge and see how you feel. Your future self might just thank you.
