The base

Cacao — the original thinker's drink

Long before espresso machines, ceremonial cacao was the drink of thinkers, monks and messengers. FLUX builds on that tradition: real cacao, naturally rich in theobromine and magnesium.

Instead of an espresso shot, a warm, chocolatey cup with no added caffeine — only the little that's naturally in cacao. Whisk it, sip it slowly, and let it be the signal that it's time to create.

Real cacao Theobromine Magnesium No added sugar No added caffeine

“Better than your coffee: cacao & nootropics.” — the promise on every pouch.

Why people switch

Built for deep work days

01

A ritual for the zone

Two teaspoons, warm milk, one quiet minute of whisking. Make it the start signal for writing, coding or designing — the hours where ideas connect.

02

On your side when needed

A powder, not a promise: stir two teaspoons into warm milk whenever you need it — morning pages, deadline sprints or late-night sessions.

03

Cacao instead of espresso

No espresso shots, no energy drinks: just real cacao with the little caffeine nature put in it — so a cup at 4 pm still fits your day.

Try FLUX

In the pouch

Four ingredients, nothing hidden

Every scoop of FLUX pairs real cacao with four ingredients from our own morning routine. No blends hidden behind “proprietary formulas” — this is it.

Lions Mane

The shaggy mushroom

Hericium erinaceus, a white, shaggy mushroom with a long history in East Asian cooking. We use a concentrated extract, so you taste cacao — not mushroom.

Cordyceps

The mountain mushroom

Prized in Himalayan tradition for centuries, today cultivated sustainably. Added as an extract for an earthy depth beneath the cacao.

Green Tea

From green tea

An amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea leaves, where it's part of the tea's mellow, rounded taste.

Tyrosine

The building block

An amino acid found in everyday foods like cheese, soy and oats. In FLUX it's added in pure form.

The story

From coffee crash to focused flow

Jan-Niclas, founder of FLUX
Jan-Niclas — blending FLUX in Munich

I used to run on coffee the way my laptop runs on power — permanently plugged in. Five cups a day, a racing heart, restless nights, and that famous 3 pm hole where every good idea goes to die.

Quitting made it worse before it made it better. I missed the ritual: a warm cup that tells your brain it's time to create. So I went looking for what people drank before coffee conquered the world — and found cacao, the focus drink of monks, thinkers and entire civilizations.

For months I mixed raw cacao with the nootropics I trusted from my own routine — lion's mane, cordyceps, L-theanine, tyrosine — until the blend felt right: awake but calm, sharp but soft. That blend became FLUX.

FLUX is blended in small batches in Munich. I still drink it every single morning — and I hope it carries you into flow the way it carries me.

Questions, answered

How do I prepare FLUX?
Stir two big teaspoons into a cup of warm milk or a plant-based alternative — oat milk is our favourite. Whisk for a few seconds until creamy, done. Prefer it cold? Shake it with cold milk and ice.
When should I drink it?
Whenever you want to settle into a focus session. With only the little caffeine that's naturally in cacao, FLUX also fits the late afternoon or evening.
Does it taste like mushrooms?
Not at all. We use concentrated extracts instead of raw mushroom powder, so FLUX tastes like pure, gently bitter-sweet cacao — not like the forest floor.
Is there caffeine in it?
Only a little: cacao naturally contains a small amount of caffeine, along with theobromine. FLUX has no added caffeine — a cup contains just a fraction of what's in a cup of coffee.
How many cups do I get from one pouch?
A 200 g pouch makes about 20 cups, depending on how strong you like it. That's under 2 € per cup of flow.
Where do you ship?
We ship from Munich to all of Germany and the EU. Shipping in Germany is 4,90 € and free from 50 €.
