Reformed Coffee: What’s in It, Caffeine, Mushrooms and Collagen (UK)

What is Reformed coffee?

Reformed is an instant “functional” coffee and matcha brand. Its homepage says the drinks are made in the United Kingdom and blend coffee or ceremonial-grade matcha with collagen peptides or creatine, adaptogens and 21 vitamins and minerals. What we found on 9 November 2026:

• The company: founded in 2024 by Neil Saada and Neil Marrakchi. In July 2026 it raised a $22 million Series A round led by Iris Ventures, with a US launch planned, according to Daily Coffee News.
• Where to buy it: mainly direct from feelreformed.com, as one-off bags or a subscription you can skip or cancel. North American shoppers are sent to a separate US store. In the UK, Healf also lists Reformed Collagen Black Coffee and Ceremonial Matcha.
• How to make it: 2 scoops (18g) of the black coffee mixed into hot or cold water or milk, then frothed.
• Dietary notes: Reformed says its drinks are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free, and that the collagen is halal and kosher certified.

The Reformed range: what’s in each blend

Every coffee and matcha in the range shares the same idea: a base drink, a protein or creatine add-in, mushrooms and a nutrient blend. The ingredients lists on Reformed’s product pages, checked November 2026:

Reformed also sells add-on powders (lion’s mane, ashwagandha, tremella, creatine and fibre) and accessories such as a frother and glass bottle. If the mushrooms are what interest you, our guides to lion’s mane, chaga, maitake and tremella cover what the research shows.

Is Reformed a mushroom coffee?

Partly. Reformed lists lion’s mane and chaga in every coffee, and four mushrooms in its matcha, but its product pages don’t say how many milligrams of each mushroom are in a serving, or whether they are fruiting body extracts (checked November 2026). Collagen or creatine makes up most of each scoop, so Reformed is closer to a collagen coffee with added mushrooms than a mushroom coffee.

That matters if you are buying it for the mushrooms: research on lion’s mane and chaga uses measured doses, so a label without amounts makes it hard to compare. Brands such as Four Sigmatic, DIRTEA and Spacegoods are covered in our brand guides, and does mushroom coffee work? explains what to look for. For a wider view, see our guide to choosing a mushroom supplement.

How much caffeine is in Reformed coffee?

Reformed says its Black Coffee contains 78mg of caffeine per serving and its Mocha 46mg. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) says up to 400mg of caffeine a day, spread across the day, is fine for most healthy adults, and the NHS advises no more than 200mg a day in pregnancy.

Reformed didn’t give a caffeine figure for its matcha, and the Decaf Black Coffee still contains a little caffeine, as all decaf does (see how much caffeine is in decaf). Caffeine can stay in your system for hours, so a later cup can affect sleep: how long caffeine lasts explains the timings.

Reformed nutrition per serving

The Coffee with Creatine also lists an electrolyte blend with magnesium bisglycinate, giving 35mg of magnesium per serving. In the collagen blends, most of the protein comes from the collagen. For what the trials show on skin and joints, see collagen supplements; for creatine amounts and safety, see creatine.

Who should check before trying Reformed?

• Pregnant or breastfeeding: count the caffeine towards the NHS 200mg limit, and ask your midwife or GP about the mushrooms and creatine. Healf’s listing says to consult a healthcare professional first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take any medicines.
• Kidney problems: ask your GP before taking the creatine blends.
• Fish allergy, vegetarian or vegan: the matcha uses marine collagen and the black coffee uses bovine collagen. Reformed sells vegan collagen versions of both.
• Sensitive to caffeine: start with the Mocha or Decaf and keep it to the morning.

Evopure alternative: a caffeine-light reishi hot chocolate

If you want a mushroom drink for the evening rather than a morning coffee, Evopure’s Reishi Mushroom Adaptogenic Complex is a hot chocolate made with reishi and maca, with the amounts on the label.

Make it with hot milk or water, 2 teaspoons a mug. It is vegan and made in the UK, and about 30 servings come in a pouch. For more on the drink, see reishi cacao, caffeine in hot chocolate and our coffee alternatives guide.
