Weed coffee is exploding—find out which ones you need to try.
The best part of waking up is having a steamy cup of coffee, especially on a chilly morning. Then, on hot summer days, you have cold brew or iced coffee to help you beat the heat and get your caffeine fix.
For many people, coffee isn’t just a seasonal cozy pick-me-up, it’s a daily must-have. When coffee lovers say “don’t talk to me until I’ve had my coffee,” they’re not kidding. Without their regular dose of caffeine, they are practically zombies running on fumes.
Many Herbivores feel the same way about weed as coffee-fanatics do about their cup of joe. If they don’t get at least one session in with their favorite herb on any given day, they’re no good. For those that thrive on both, there are few better pairings than weed and coffee.
Now the heavens have parted and these worlds have collided to give us weed-infused coffee. You get a pick-me-up and a buzz. How brew-tiful is that?

The buzz is just one benefit that comes with weed coffee. If you’re a wake and baker, then you know how exhilarating it is to start your day with a bowl pack of dank. Even on dreadful days, a few puffs of weed first thing in the AM will have you feeling like you’re living your best life. Weed coffee delivers the same vibes smoke-free.
Weed coffee is also a stealthy way to consume cannabis. You can pour it into a tumbler and sip on it throughout the day as if it was your usual from Dunkin Donuts. The THC to caffeine ratios vary too, so you can use weed coffee however you want to, whether you’re basing it on the time of day or your mental/physical state. If you’re sensitive to both caffeine and THC, for instance, then there’s weed coffee that comes lightly caffeinated, CBD heavy.
You still get that get-up-and-go in the morning but don’t get all jittery and weak. Or, you can enjoy weed coffee at night. There is weed coffee made for nighttime use, which can help you unwind and de-stress after a tough day just as well, sort of like a joint after before bed.

Drink IT by Canyon THC, aka the OG of weed coffees, was the first cannabis-infused coffee to hit the drinkables market and is still a favorite to this day. It’s another cold brew option that comes in a nifty glass bottle ready to serve. Featuring 10 mg of THC, Drink IT is made using CO2 oil and high-quality Guatemalan coffee beans. It provides a gentle pick-up and makes for a fabulous refresher to enjoy in between work tasks when you’re feeling sluggish.

If you’re a fan of those delicious caramel frappes from McDonald’s, then you’ll love the Vanilla Caramel Cannabis Coffee by Therapy Tonics. It packs more of a punch than the other cold brews on the list, with 80 mg of THC, but the mix of calming effects from the vanilla and the energizing effects Sativa gives consumers a great vibe from this weed coffee. It sounds pretty decadent, but each bottle only packs 100 calories—way less than your typical frappe.

Keurig lovers: If you happen to still have a Keurig machine without an electronic pod ID like the 2.0, then you can enjoy weed coffee the best way you know how, with a pod. Catapult Coffee Pods contain 10 mg of THC per serving and are as simple as it gets to brew. Sadly, these pods aren’t compatible with the fancier devices, but never fear; Catapult has an instant 10 mg THC-infused Hot Mocha Coffee too that comes in a resealable pouch perfect for pouring on the go.

For mocha fans, the Espresso Mocha Legal Beverage from Mirth Provisions is a chocolaty coffee delight. Infused with 100 mg THC per bottle, or 10 mg per serving, the Sativa-crafted Espresso Mocha comes with a handy measuring cap to help you get your correct dose. Technically, it’s a cannabis soda, but served over ice, you wouldn’t know it. It tastes just like iced coffee and is a great way to wake and bake on a humid day.

If you don’t live in a legal state, or just have that culinary urge, there are many ways you can add weed to your coffee right from home. For one, you can infuse your favorite brew with a scoop of cannabutter or cannabis-infused coconut oil.
