MUD\WTR earns mixed reviews: devotees report steady, jitter-free focus and soothing Rest blends, while critics call the earthy, chai-cacao flavors weak or muddy with grainy sediment and little caffeine kick. Reviews praise attractive packaging and versatile recipes with oat or coconut milk and sweeteners, but recurring complaints cite separability requiring a frother, occasional digestive upset, staining, and a taste that rarely replaces coffee.

  • My favorite is the night time blend! It’s the perfect wind down paired with oat milk. So glad they make this product! Very delicious, highly recommend.

  • Mudwtr does take time to adjust to the texture and grittiness. Having choices among green tea and tumeric adds to the enjoyment.

  • I'll say it–I work for the company but I've been drinking the kool-aid long before I started working here. I first heard about MUD\WTR working in the food & bev space and subscribed to their weekly newsletter, which is where I really fell in love with the brand and their mission. My favorite blend is the original cacao. I usually drink it hot with oat milk and their :creamer. Sometimes I'll add maple syrup + collagen if I'm feeling ~fancy~.

  • Really love this brand and respect them as a company. I have had the matcha and mushroom boost and love how my skin feels when I drink it consistently.

  • Kicked my coffee habit!! Love mudwtr!

  • Used the original blend to cut back on coffee — great swap for my second cup. It doesn’t taste like coffee but it’s not supposed to. More like cacao and spices. I’ve definitely noticed my energy is more stable and even my mood is better.

  • I absolutely love MUD\WTR. I have been drinking it for over 2 years now and don't miss coffee one bit. It tastes so yummy and I love experimenting with how different creamers (coconut, almond, etc.) and sweeteners (maple, honey, etc) bring out different flavors. My current favorite is coconut milk and maple with my morning mud. I've heard that their matcha is also really good.

  • I started substituting coffee with Matcha. I was trying different brands, I was given a sample of Mud/Wtr’s Matcha. I loved it and have not looked back- it is creamy and decadent. Love with cashew milk.

  • I really didn't think much of this when I started because I love my coffee, but the Cacao flavor actually blended well with my coffee every morning, and I started realizing after a week or so that I had SO MUCH MORE energy at 5pm after the workday! It's basically become my new cozy morning requirement now. Less coffee jitters, I feel very focused throughout the day (instead of that neurotic coffee-high), and I have so much more energy after the workday for more hobbies, workouts, etc. Feeling gooood

  • I cut coffee in 2016 and it was when I discovered MUDWTR that I felt like I found my perfect morning ritual. I intermittent fast and it keeps me full in the mornings and offers energy on the days I feel more sluggish. I love drinking it with vanilla stevia. I also end my day with “Rest” and add some almond milk.

  • These products were like a gateway habit -- in the best way. Instead of stressing myself out more by reaching for coffee in the morning (tired mom here), I reach for MUD\WTR :rise Cacao or MUD\WTR :rise Matcha (that's my fave) and the day seriously goes smoother from there. Coffee, especially more than one cup, gets me all wired and makes it harder for me to handle stress. These make it easier. I love them as lattes -- oat milk and honey. So good.

  • I add one scoop to my espresso and I find that covers the taste and gives me stable energy. I don’t recommend the subscription unless you like it, right

  • LOVE THIS BRAND. I used to struggle with substance abuse, which obviously did a number on my brain and cognitive function. It got better through time, but I still dealt with brain fog and critical thinking. I bought the Matcha one, and I could feel a difference even after the first cup. It’s amazing. I’ve been taking it for awhile now, and my productivity and my ability to think, articulate myself, write - has improved dramatically. I’m more alert and able to regulate myself so much better. Please take care of your brain guys, it controls so much. If this resonates with anybody, please give this brand (or functional mushrooms) a try. Additionally, the quality and taste of the matcha is wonderful.

  • Wanted to try "a healthy alternative" for coffee. 3 weeks in I thought I had a stomach bug. one month in I thought I was developing an ulcer. Unbearable stomach & digestive pain immediately after consuming which completely went away the instant I stopped drinking this product. This is the label on the back of the bag. **Warning Label** Consuming this product can expose you to chemicals including lead, which are known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

  • I like MUDWTR a lot! I'm sensitive to caffeine, and the level of alertness I get from MUDWTR is perfect, subtle, collected focus without any jitters.

  • I’m enjoying mud-water as an alternative to coffee because I savor it all with every sip because it is good for me and makes me feel better without the jitters. I can’t always afford it but place my order on pause when I’m able to make my payments. I know this is a great quality product and have recommended it my friends and family. Recommend it to some of my patients who are eliminating coffee as well as on a healthy journey.

  • Ordered maybe 4-5 months supply really wanting to like it but found myself using it less and less and less. The recommended dosage was never quite enough to give me the energy and the flavor / frothiness just wasn't there, always wanted to add more cream and milk to it. Nice execution overall and love the mission but not for me long term.

  • Bought the Turmeric bundle which includes a mixer and the Chai. Taste is earthy like other reviewers have mentioned. It has a mild grainy texture. If you use the mixer it lessens some of that texture and smooths the taste a bit. Otherwise it settles quickly and is muddy at the bottom. The taste is a stretch for those looking for a coffee alternative. I did not notice much difference with my energy or other advertised effects. I think it is an acquired taste for the general population. I rated 3 stars for high price and difficulty opening the can. Nice design but the lid is way too tight. I have arthritis. Overall. I personally liked it. Because of price and lid, I will not buy again.

  • Where to start. As usual big promises. The flavor was not as expected. We had ordered the gold but received a different flavor for our first order. I emailed them twice , no phone support. They finally responded and said due to company policy they would not refund for opened items. We were already completely let down by the product flavor and now the support was even worse. Buyer beware. Will not recommend to my worst enemy.

  • I really liked it! Would i use it instead of coffee ? Probably not - although i did find that using it instead of my second coffee in the day worked. Taste: I added honey and it was delicious.
