Let me start by saying I was skeptical about mushroom coffee. The idea of fungi in my morning cup sounded... questionable. But IQJOE completely changed my mind. The variety pack (Vanilla Spice, Caffè Mocha, Toasted Hazelnut, and Original Black) makes it easy to find your favorite - though fair warning, the Hazelnut might be a miss for some (more on that later).

The energy boost is unreal - 200mg of caffeine hits just right without the jitters, thanks to the Magtein magnesium smoothing things out. I actually feel focused instead of just wired. The Lion's Mane really seems to help with mental clarity too - I've noticed I'm sharper during morning meetings.

Taste-wise, it's surprisingly smooth. The Vanilla Spice is my personal favorite - it's rich without being overly sweet (and yes, it's sugar-free!). The Mocha makes for a great afternoon pick-me-up. Pro tip: if you're new to mushroom coffee, the Original Black is the best intro - you barely notice the mushroom taste.

Now, the Hazelnut... I have to agree with other reviewers. There's something off about the smell - it's intense in a not-great way. I ended up mixing it with extra hot water and cream to make it drinkable. Hopefully they reformulate this one.

What I love most? The convenience. These single-serve packets are perfect for my chaotic mornings. Just add hot water and boom - brain fuel ready in seconds. They've become my travel essential too - no more sketchy hotel coffee when I can have my IQJOE.

If you're looking to upgrade your coffee game with something that actually benefits your brain, gives clean energy, and (mostly) tastes great, IQJOE is absolutely worth trying. Just maybe skip the Hazelnut unless you're feeling adventurous.
