MAX FIT Mushroom Coffee Review: The Budget Pick, With a Lot Left Unsaid

By far the cheapest per serving and a short ingredients list, but ten mushrooms share one small blend total and there's no caffeine figure. Scored on the label, not on a taste test.

This review covers MAX FIT Mushroom Coffee, 10 Mushrooms (60 servings) by MAX FIT.

MAX FIT Mushroom Coffee is number 3 in our ranking of five popular mushroom coffees, scoring 7.0 out of 10 for a B. It’s the budget pick, at $0.33[1] a serving, and it scores well on price and a short ingredients list. But 10[2] mushrooms share one 500 mg[3] blend, and the label won’t tell you the real split or the caffeine. Cheap and simple, with a lot left unsaid.

The score

Criterion Weight Score
Dose transparency 25% 5/10
Mushroom source 20% 10/10
Value 20% 10/10
Mushroom dose 15% 5/10
Caffeine labeling 10% 0/10
Fillers and extras 10% 10/10
Overall 7.0/10 (B)

What earns each score is set out on how we rank and in the full ranking.

What the label tells you

  • Price: $19.99[4] on Amazon for 60 servings[5], or $0.33[1] a serving. That’s the lowest of the five by a wide margin and a full 10 of 10 on value.
  • Ingredients: coffee and mushroom powders, nothing else. Besides the mushrooms, the list is instant arabica coffee powder only[6], so it scores 10 of 10 on fillers and extras.
  • Source: fruiting body (brand claim)[7]. The listing says it uses only the fruiting bodies, which is enough for full marks on source under our criteria, though it’s the brand’s word.
  • Mushrooms: chaga, reishi, lion's mane, shiitake, maitake, cordyceps, turkey tail, king trumpet, willow bracket, agaricus blazei[8].
  • Format: instant[9], at 1 tbsp per 5–8 oz water[10].

What it leaves out

  • The split between ten mushrooms. Only the 500 mg[3] total is printed; the amount of each one is not disclosed per species[11]. Spread over ten mushrooms, that averages 50 mg each, and you don’t know how it’s actually split. Check 3 of our label guide calls this out: a long list of mushrooms under one small total. A blend total alone earns 5 of 10 on transparency.
  • Caffeine. No figure at all, so 0 of 10 on caffeine labeling. If you track caffeine, this label can’t help you.
  • Extracts or powders. The mushrooms are listed as powders, not extracts.

Who it suits

Good for: trying mushroom coffee for very little money.

Not ideal for: anyone who wants a meaningful dose of a specific mushroom, or people tracking caffeine. If you want each dose printed, see our Four Sigmatic Focus review.

The bottom line

The cheapest way into mushroom coffee in the ranking, with a short, clean ingredients list. What you give up is information: no per-mushroom amounts across ten mushrooms, and no caffeine number. See how it compares with the other four in the full ranking.
