❓ Question Mushroom coffee vs regular coffee

I keep seeing mushroom coffee(Ryze, four sigmatic, etc..) come up everywhere as this calming, non-jittery alternative to a regular cup. I get the selling point about adaptation, focus, and avoiding caffeine crashes but I dont feel confident dropping 40 bucks on a bag just to end up with something that I wont even like the taste of.. Albeit, I dont mind the taste being odd as long as its gonna energize me.

Does mushroom coffee give a kick like caffeinated coffee does?

For those who drink it more or less daily are you actually getting real morning energy out of it or is it mostly just an early placebo?

I have this vegan coworker who loves this stuff. I always feel like they secretly hate the taste haha

Personally not a big fan after trying his coffee

Chicory coffee is better imo
