Coffee drinkers who want a lower-caffeine morning ritual with an organic label and do not mind that the functional-mushroom claims are early rather than proven.
You want maximum caffeine and alertness, you are price-sensitive per serving versus drip coffee, or you expect the mushrooms to deliver a measurable cognitive or stress result.
