Is mushroom coffee worth the premium? It costs more than regular coffee, that's for sure. It can't really be worth the extra expense. Or Can It? "Worth it" is relative. What's something worth to you? Let's go over this a little more.

The thing is that you can get very decent coffee for not much more than the mass-produced stuff, but it's hard to get mushroom coffee for a comparative bargain. The standard 12-oz bag of Starbucks, Seattle's Best or Tully's, for instance, or something like that isn't that much more - often a little less - than the standard 31 oz tub of Folgers. Granted, it's not that Folgers is BAD, per se, it's just that the premium product is just that good. [caption id="attachment_544" align="alignleft" width="300"]
