Making mushroom coffee - step by step
accent heading
The grind of our coffee is medium course, making it suitable for the following methods. It may work in espresso machines, but not optimal.
We have selected a coffee blend that complements the mushrooms, being fairly light with sweeter and fruity notes.
Because we use mushroom extract (not a mushroom powder) it will be 100% dissolved in the water, so is not filtered out by the process.
Our mushroom coffee does not taste like mushrooms!
Cold brew/extraction method
This is our favourite method.
There's just something about cold extraction that brings out the best flavours in coffee & it works well with the mushroom blend.
Use a French Press if you do not have specialised cold brew equipment.
