Why We Put Creatine in Coffee

Coffee and creatine are two things a lot of people already take on the same morning, usually separately — a coffee at the kettle, a scoop of powder shaken into water afterwards. Putting them in one cup removes a step rather than adding one.

Creatine monohydrate is unflavoured and dissolves readily in warm water, so it disappears into a dark roast without changing how it tastes. That was a hard requirement for us: if it made the coffee chalky or gritty, it wasn't going in.

A supplement only does anything if you actually take it, consistently, over a long stretch of time. Most people don't fail at supplements because they picked the wrong one — they fail because the routine is fragile.

A morning coffee is about as un-fragile as a habit gets. It already happens, at roughly the same time, most days. Attaching creatine to that habit is far more reliable than asking someone to remember a separate scoop.

Creatine is typically taken daily rather than only on training days, and timing is generally treated as flexible. That makes a morning drink a straightforward place to put it, whether you train at 6am or after work.

If you already take creatine from a tub, treat ʼkôfē as a replacement for that scoop rather than an addition, so you're not doubling up. If you're unsure how it fits alongside anything else you take, speak to your GP or a registered dietitian.

One scoop gives you 10g of marine collagen, 3g of creatine monohydrate, 2g of MCT powder, 80mg of vitamin C and 150mg of caffeine from Colombian coffee. No added sugar.

Everything is dosed openly on the pouch, so you can see exactly what a serving contains rather than reading a proprietary blend.
