JAKARTA - Functional coffee or functional coffee is now increasingly popular and steals the attention of caffeine lovers. This is because functional coffee is not only an encouragement drink, but also provides additional benefits for the body.

These additional benefits are obtained from additional ingredients in functional coffee which are usually fungi, protein, and collagen. This additional ingredient provides benefits for people who drink it to focus better.

"Coffins made with mushrooms, such as lion manifold mushrooms, reishi, and chaga, are believed to be able to provide people with a better focus without nervousness on regular caffeine," said nutritionist Eli Brecher, quoted by the BBC, on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.

"Adding extra ingredients into a cup of coffee feels like a small, easy increase, not a troublesome big change," he added.

In Indonesia, this trend of functional coffee may not have been found much, but in several cities around the world it has become increasingly popular. Like Starbucks' famous coffee outlets that have started selling barista-made protein coffee at their outlets in the United States in September, with high-protein milk and cold foam.

In the UK, a bottle of ready-to-eat protein coffee is available in Starbucks. There is also cold protein coffee from other brands such as Jimmy's and Emmi.

"The functional coffee is now shifting from the corners of the niche center of wellness to the mainstream," he said.

Food research company Tastewise said that functional coffee was one of its top trends in 2026. This assessment came after the company discovered that the amount of moldy coffee in the UK coffee shop menu had grown 30 percent over the past year.

Meanwhile, Bini Suresh of the British Diathetics Association said that the health benefits of functional coffee can be different and for most people it's actually not very important.

This is influenced by the dose of functional ingredients in coffee, which is usually too small to be able to have a big effect. However, research related to this is still growing today.

"So, if you feel it makes you feel better and the budget is there, please just enjoy it. The important thing is to remember, this is just an addition, not a magic solution," he concluded.
