After trying RYZE Mushroom coffee and liking the effect, but not so much the taste, I decided to give Everyday Dose a try next. Here’s the breakdown on RYZE vs. Everyday Dose and which one I liked better.

RYZE vs. Everyday Dose, The Breakdown

My first foray into the mushroom coffee realm was with RYZE Mushroom Coffee. I was sent a free bag of RYZE to try and review, but I purchased Everyday Dose on my own, so I could compare the two.

Every Dose: I recommend trying it on Amazon: Everyday Dose. Otherwise, they will create a subscription you can’t cancel until 15 days after you get your product.

I removed my link to their website, because it brings up a quote I never said, and I feel it is misleading, which you can see below:

Comparing Ingredients

RYZE Mushroom Coffee combines six functional mushrooms—lion’s mane for focus, cordyceps for energy, reishi for stress relief, turkey tail for gut health, shiitake for immune support, and king trumpet for bone health—with organic Arabica Coffee, organic MCT Oil, and organic coconut milk.

Everyday Dose mushroom coffee contains lion’s mane and chaga mushrooms for cognitive and immune support and it’s enhanced with hydrolyzed collagen peptides for skin and joint health and L-theanine for stress reduction.

So, you’ll be getting more mushrooms with RYZE (each serving has 2000 MG of adaptogenic mushrooms), but Everyday Dose has the added benefit of collagen and L-theanine. I do think the big mushroom content is the reason RYZE is so earthy tasting. It’s hard to cover up the shroomy taste.

Caffeine Content

Both mushroom coffee products contain an instant coffee blend and lower caffeine than a typical cup of coffee. RYZE has 48mg, while Everyday Dose has 45mg. In comparison, a typical cup of coffee has 90-100mg of caffeine.

You can increase the caffeine boost by adding the blends to a regular cup of coffee.

RYZE vs. Everyday Dose Taste

Here’s the thing everybody asks- what about the taste? I will honestly say that RYZE took some getting used to, and at first I couldn’t drink it first thing in the morning.

RYZE not only has an earthy taste, but a bit of a smell as well. I usually had to mix it with a little regular coffee and then a lot of sugar and creamer to cover up the taste and smell. However, I did eventually get used to and now barely notice it. But I wanted to be honest that I wasn’t sure about the smell/taste at first!

Everyday Dose on the other hand, does not smell or taste like mushrooms. It has less mushrooms, both in varieties and amounts, so it just tastes like regular instant coffee. If you were going by taste alone, Everyday Dose would win this one.

Both mushroom coffee products taste a bit like reheated coffee, but that’s pretty standard with any instant coffee. I did find Everyday Dose much easier to drink without adding a ton of sweetener to cover the taste.

Coffee Consistency

Everyday Dose was the winner for easy mixing and fully dissolving. I didn’t even have a fancy frothier like they suggest, I just mixed it with a spoon, and it all dissolved easily.

With Ryze, I always had a little sediment no matter how well I mixed. I usually had no sludge at the bottom of my cup with Everyday Dose.

I would usually just mix a little extra water with the sludge and slam it to make sure I didn’t miss any of the mushroom goodness.

Mushroom Coffee Effects

When comparing the immediate effects of RYZE vs Everyday Dose mushroom coffee, I think RYZE is the front runner here. I felt like it gave a more noticeable immediate focus boost.

Maybe it’s because it has so many mushrooms, or maybe it’s because I was mixing it with a little coffee and more sugar. But I did feel a bit more “buzzy but focused” after drinking it.

As far as long-term effects, I’m not really sure how to measure that. After drinking a full bag of RYZE over the past month, I do have an overall feeling of well-being that has stuck around. Enough so that I wanted to keep drinking it and try more mushroom coffee.

I’m two weeks into trying Everyday Dose and I don’t feel the effects are as noticeable. I really want to like this one because it tastes better! And I really like the added collagen. But I don’t feel like it packs the same punch as RYZE.

If you are wondering what the focus effect from mushroom coffee is like, specifically with RYZE, it’s like a piece of your brain gets unlocked. Or maybe it makes it so you can access more of your brain. I don’t know, but that’s what it feels like.

I was able to solve problems easier and do my work better. Like answers to issues became more easily clear and I kept going- why didn’t I see that before? This is the reason I keep going back to mushroom coffee!

The Coffee Subscription

Both companies have the annoying “subscription” set-up for ordering. So, when you place your first order, you are set up for monthly deliveries. I hate being locked into a subscription and having to remember to cancel it, so I actually just ordered Everyday Dose off Amazon so I could get a single bag.

You do of course get all kinds of goodies and a much better price if you are willing to sign up on their websites:

Whichever one you choose I feel you’ll get some sort of benefit. I am a believer in the mushroom coffee!
