A growing number of coffee drinkers are making the switch to kratom-based beverages, drawn by their reputation for offering smoother, more sustainable energy. According to Gigwise, kratom drinks provide what enthusiasts describe as “clean energy” without the jitters, anxiety, or crashes that often follow a caffeine surge.
Users report feeling energized for up to six hours and enjoy the added benefit of mood support — a contrast to coffee’s sometimes edgy after-effects. Popular preparations include kratom teas, cold brews, and smoothies with ingredients like ginger, honey, and turmeric. While not without challenges — such as taste adjustments and potential tolerance — the growing DIY kratom community sees the practice as a customizable, holistic alternative to the morning cup of coffee.
