I’ve been drinking Cuppa Mushroom Coffee for about a year and recently ordered my second year supply directly from their website. I just opened the first fresh bag from the new shipment and immediately noticed a pretty significant difference from my previous batch.
The biggest thing is the flavor. My older bags always tasted surprisingly fresh and strong, and I could really pick out the different flavors in the coffee. This new bag tastes much more muted and flat, even though it was just opened.

I also noticed something strange with frothing. I drink it black and use a handheld frother. My previous Cuppa would create so much foam that I’d have to be careful not to froth it over the top of the cup. This new batch barely produces any foam at all using the same amount of coffee, water, frother, and preparation method.

I’m going to try another cup before contacting Cuppa, but since I bought a year’s supply, I’m curious if anyone else who received a recent shipment directly from Cuppa has noticed anything similar.
Has anyone noticed a change in taste, strength, texture, or how well it froths? I’m especially interested in people who have been drinking Cuppa for a while and can compare an older batch with one shipped recently.

I’m asking because I’m on week 9 in training and unfortunately not fairing well in some of the very long panels my manager and I have gone over one-on-one. My trainer is personally upset with the process because in his opinion, much doesn’t translate practically to the job which he says I’m doing amazing at and basically ready for my solo days. Also the fact that the manager questioning me is very “by the book” and basically wants verbatim answers to the reading material.

I’m fearing the worst because I haven’t been told what will happen if I don’t improve but I’m only assuming if I don’t at least hit a certain percentage that I will be placed in a different job(assistant to SSR’s maybe).

And just fyi, I have download flash card apps and am reading the material when I can(every weekend) but my trainer and I barely have time to go over it since his route is so heavy and any overtime said manager complains about(we don’t even take breaks).
