Why it works
Focus that lasts longer than your morning cup.
Brain Sustain pairs a high-caffeine single-origin roast with lion's mane and cordyceps — the two most research-backed mushrooms for sustained focus and cognitive support. Caffeine works through one mechanism with a ceiling: push it too far and focus tips into jitters and a crash. These mushrooms work through entirely different pathways, supporting the infrastructure sustained focus actually runs on.
Lion's mane stimulates Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a protein involved in maintaining and repairing neurons — gradual, cumulative maintenance for the hardware your focus runs on. Cordyceps works at the cellular-energy level, supporting ATP production and oxygen use for steady mental energy without the spike-and-crash. Same great coffee; sharper, steadier mornings.

Cordyceps — ATP & oxygen for sustained mental energy

The Peak State Infusion Process™
Most mushroom coffees mix powder into ground coffee after roasting — where it sits on the grind and ends up trapped in your filter, so the dose on the label rarely reaches your cup. We do it backwards: the mushrooms are extracted into a concentrated tincture and botanically infused into the beans after roasting, sealing the extract inside the bean before it ever reaches your grinder.

Questions people ask about Brain Sustain
Straight answers — the same ones we'd give you in person.
How is mushroom coffee better for focus than regular coffee?+
Regular coffee gives you caffeine — a single mechanism with a ceiling. Brain Sustain adds lion's mane and cordyceps, which work through different pathways to support sustained focus. Caffeine gets you alert; the mushrooms support what keeps you there.
Will this mushroom coffee give me jitters?+
For most people, less than their regular coffee. Cordyceps helps the body manage the stress response behind caffeine jitters, and you can choose the lower-caffeine dark roast. If you're highly sensitive, our Calm Descent decaf delivers the same blend caffeine-free.
What do lion's mane and cordyceps actually do?+
Lion's mane stimulates Nerve Growth Factor for memory and clarity — gradual, structural support. Cordyceps supports ATP production and oxygen use for steady mental energy. Together they cover both the structural and energetic sides of focus.
The best part of my mornings are watching the sunrise and enjoying a cup or two of Peak state dark roast. Can’t think of a better way to reflect, visualize and enjoy!
Good coffee. I used to drink mushroom infused coffee but the company I ordered from went out of the coffee business. I'm glad you are entering the field.
Thus coffee is great and the mushrooms truly make the coffee so mild and less acidic. I don’t have enough clear research to know if it really helps my brain but in my opinion the addition of mushroom oils is great for the taste and that’s enough for me!
Rich flavor with low acid! Just enough caffeine to start my day, and the adaptogens keep me focused most of the day. I especially love that I’m not jittery!
This is my absolute favorite roast and style offered from Peak State. Smooth and rich, I look forward to it every morning weather I'm just going to work or off to an adventure.
The coffee did not have the flavor I expected and was somewhat bland. There are also no instructions that I could find for a regular drip coffee maker. I inquired about this but never heard back.
I’m so glad to try another fabulous low acid coffee… if not for Peak State’s low acid coffees, I wouldn’t be able to enjoy coffee anymore …. And coffee is one of my favorite things!!!!
Tried this once at a farmers market in Breckenridge and was hooked. Flavor is great and I don't get the jitters like regular coffee gives me. I don't need creamer with this stuff, though I still use it sometimes depending on my mood. I think it's worth the little bit extra... and I love supporting local small business. I use a French press and use a hand grinder to grind the beans. I find that I need to let the beans sit in the water a little extra before I press them down because there seems to be a little more air or something in the beans, which is fine, but if I press it down too early, a separation occurs between the beans and the water.
Found this coffee at a farmers market and immediately gave it a try. I've bought two bags since then as well their Coffee in a Tea Bag with the same roast and been enjoying them so much! No jitters and I do feel like it makes a difference to my focus, especially during at work. It's my go-to coffee now!
I first tried a cup of this coffee at a local farmers market, and admittedly, I didn’t think much of it. I had heard of mushroom coffee, but knew very little about it. It had a good coffee taste that was a little earthy and not acidic, so it didn’t irritate my empty stomach. Also, it tasted good on its own without creamer (I normally drink coffee with a couple tablespoons of oat milk creamer). As the day went on, I realized I was still energized, but not jittery and I didn’t feel the need to grab a second cup like normal.
I went online and did research on mushroom coffee --I love that Peak State includes a ton of research about the different mushrooms on their site as well--and the health benefits of various mushrooms in coffee.
So I decided to test it and see if I noticed a difference or if it was just a coincidence. I ordered a bag and replaced my normal coffee with this coffee for a week. Needless to say, it changed my entire coffee routine. I’ve been drinking this coffee every morning for a couple weeks now and I feel great! I have sustained energy all day and I don’t get the afternoon slump at work around 2-3pm like I used to. I’ve been drinking this and the immunity Boost and I enjoy them both; they both taste great! I also ordered the tea bags as I loved the easy concept and I was in between coffee makers. The individual bags are so convenient and surprisingly have the same great coffee taste as a normal brew!
Although it’s a little pricey, you need less and the benefits are immediately noticeable, and it just tastes great! It’s definitely worth it to me and I enrolled in the subscription because of the results.
If you are debating it, give this a try and replace your normal coffee with Peak State for a week and I bet you’ll notice a positive change in your energy levels and focus and never go back!
