Recently, many brands have started to take advantage of the mushroom coffee trend, yet a recent report by Grand View Research suggests the hype around mushroom coffee is not just a trend that will come and go. Per the recent report, the global mushroom coffee market size is expected to reach USD 4.12 billion by 2030, expanding at 5.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2030. The mushroom coffee market report suggests the market’s rise is anticipated to be fueled by consumer’s preferences for ready-to-drink and premium coffees. Additionally, the report indicates the surge in demand may also be attributed to other factors, such as rising awareness of the medicinal benefits of mushrooms, flavorful coffee experiences, and increased awareness of ethical & sustainable sourcing practices.

Trends indicate that today’s consumers are seeking alternative coffee options, such as decaf or herbal coffee blends. Mushroom coffee, which offers a unique and natural flavor profile, maybe another appealing choice for consumers looking for something different. Brands such as Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee and Everyday Dose Coffee have remained top sellers in the industry, with many traditional coffee brands experimenting with options for mushroom coffee, too.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in functional foods that have added health benefits beyond their essential nutritional content. Mushroom coffee offers an alternative to regular coffee that may not produce the same jitters as traditional coffee. For those looking to reduce their caffeine intake or seek nutritional benefits, switching to mushroom coffee may be worthwhile. As the market expands, more consumers are expected to switch to mushroom coffee.

Cafe Au Lait vs. latte: Are these two coffee orders the same?
Comparing these two coffee orders
cafe au lait

As a coffee connoisseur who has traveled to Paris, I'm embarrassed to say I never had a chance to order a "Cafe Au Lait" while visiting French coffee shops. Something about the name sounds fancy and almost intimidating. However, the Cafe Au Lait is one of the more simplistic Barista-style coffees you can order, containing only coffee and milk. Conversely, a latte uses an espresso base and much more milk for a completely different flavor. Not to mention, one drink has a French origin, where the other formed its roots in Italy. No matter where you order your coffee, here's how to differentiate between a Cafe Au Lait vs. latte -- which are not the same coffee order.
Cafe Au Lait vs. latte

As you can see in this short video by Birchin Lane Coffee Company, a Cafe Au Lait and a latte look similar but contain different ingredients. Cafe Au Lait, which translates to "coffee with milk" in French, contains equal portions of brewed coffee and steamed milk. This coffee is made with one part coffee to one part steamed milk, which keeps things simple and does not include any milk froth or foam on top. The coffee used for a Cafe Au Lait is regular coffee, which can be brewed either with a traditional drip coffee maker or a French Press coffee maker. The Cafe Au Lait is mild and creamy -- a drink I feel any coffee drinker can enjoy.
