The V60 Pour Over. Six steps.
Place your V60 on top of your favourite mug. Take the filter paper, notice the ridge along the edge — turn it down. Open the filter paper and place it into the V60.
Heat your kettle to 94°C — just off the boil. Rinse the filter paper with hot water. This removes any paper taste and preheats your mug.
Use the provided scoop — one level scoop is roughly 12g. Add it to the V60 and give it a gentle shake to distribute the grounds evenly.
Pour a small amount of water over the grounds — just enough to wet them. You'll see bubbling on the surface. That's CO2 releasing. Let it bloom for 20–30 seconds.
Pour the remaining water in a slow, circular motion until you reach about two centimetres from the top. Total brew time should sit between 90 seconds and 2.5 minutes.
Remove the V60, pop the used grounds into your compost, and enjoy your cup. Same time, every day. Consistency is how the mushrooms do their work.
One cup. Every day. No exceptions.
Brew one cup of OYL using your V60 pour over.
Add 1g of Focus X mushroom powder. Stir into your freshly brewed cup.
Every single day for 30 days. No exceptions. The full loading phase is what makes it work.

Ready to feel the difference?
What happens week by week.
The compounds build gradually. Here's what to expect.
Your body adjusts. Caffeine spikes start to break. Mushroom compounds enter your system.
"Alert but not wired."
Compounds reach meaningful levels. Lion's Mane kicks in. Brain fog starts lifting.
"The 3PM wall starts to crumble."
This is where it clicks. Clearer focus, calmer mind, steady energy all day.
"Less noise in my head."
Loading complete. Your body has what it needs. Daily coffee keeps you there.
"A calm I didn't know I was missing."
Not all mushroom coffee is real.
Many brands use fillers and skip the steps that matter.

| The plan | Structured 30-day protocol | "Just try it and see" |
"I found myself caught in the spike-crash cycle, constantly chasing dopamine to calm my nervous system. Over time, I realised this was a false economy — and that's where OYL was born."
It requires commitment, but the reward is a mind and body that doesn't let you down — and that will take you to the next level.
James McCormack founded OYL (Optimise Your Life) with the singular mission to help people break the spike-crash cycle, which he believes is holding people back from reaching their true potential. Change doesn't happen when you try something — it happens when you integrate it into your DNA through daily practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's a structured daily routine — 12–15g of OYL Ground Coffee brewed via V60 pour over with 1g of Focus X stirred in, every single day for 30 days. The mushroom compounds need time to build up in your system before you feel the full effects. That's why consistency matters more than any single cup.
Functional mushrooms don't work like caffeine — there's no instant hit. The active compounds accumulate gradually in your body. Most people start noticing a difference around weeks 2–3. If you stop after a few days, the compounds never reach the levels needed to make a real difference.
Focus X is a concentrated organic mushroom powder that boosts your daily intake of Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Reishi beyond what the coffee alone provides. It's what accelerates the loading phase — getting your system saturated faster so the clarity, calm, and steady energy kick in sooner.
Yes. OYL is real, specialty-grade arabica coffee — it tastes like proper coffee because it is. The difference is what's working alongside the caffeine: adaptogenic mushrooms that smooth out the spikes and crashes, so you get the energy without the jitters or the 3PM wall.
Three things: we use 100% fruiting bodies (not cheap mycelium-on-grain fillers), dual-extracted for maximum potency, with over 30% beta-glucans guaranteed. Most brands won't tell you what's actually in their blend — we put it on the label because we've got nothing to hide.
We recommend V60 pour over for the best extraction and flavour. The grind is optimised for it. That said, it'll also work in a cafetiere or drip machine — but V60 is how we designed the ritual.
The loading phase is complete — your body has built up the compounds it needs. From day 31, you simply continue with your daily OYL coffee (without the extra Focus X) to maintain your new baseline. Most people find that the clarity and steady energy become their new normal.
Then you get your money back. We offer a full money-back guarantee — no questions, no hassle. But in our experience, the people who commit to 30 consecutive days without skipping almost always feel a measurable difference.
Yes. There's no lock-in, no minimum commitment beyond your first order. Cancel online anytime. We'd rather you stayed because it's working than because you forgot to cancel.
Yes — use the quantity selector above to add 2 or 3 bags at a reduced per-bag price. One hardware kit is included with every order. If your partner needs their own V60 dripper and Focus X, tick the box to add a second kit for just €25 (one-time).

Health Benefits
Coffee is called a nootropic aka a cognitive enhancer. Caffeine is the primary active ingredient in coffee.Black coffee also contains many vitamins (B2/3/5, Manganese, Potassium, as well as polyphenols which act as antioxidants for the body.
Things to note: Coffee is graded on a score out of 100. Anything over 80 is considered speciality grade. As a consumer the main thing you notice as the grade goes higher is that the flavour profile of the coffee become more pronounced and obvious e.g. Ethiopian coffee can taste of citrus fruits and flowers. Lower grades of ethiopian you won't notice this flavour but at the higher level it's like someone has squeezed a lime into your coffee. It's amazing. The coffee beans are influenced by Terroir (Similar to wine).

Frequently Asked Question

THE FOUNDER
Coffee brought me here. Mushrooms optimise my life.
I began my coffee journey in 2010, discovering a passion for this fruit and its adventures. By 2011, I was teaching coffee-making and founded Dublin Barista School, training over 25,000 baristas since 2013. Business challenges led to stress and burnout, prompting me to explore science for solutions. In 2020, I experimented with medicinal mushrooms in my coffee, feeling rejuvenated and eager to share this experience.After sampling various mushroom coffees, I found a gap in the market for a product that's both beneficial and delicious. This led to the creation of OYL (Optimise Your Life), a blend of my love for coffee and health, offering a unique and special product.
