Why I’m Loving Mumma’s Beans Organic Coffee (And Why Your Hormones Might Too)

I’ll be real with you; I didn’t expect to love it.

As someone who lives for clean, nourishing alternatives, I thought a lower-caffeine coffee might taste... well, flat. But Mumma’s Beans surprised me.

The aroma filled the kitchen like real coffee. The flavour? Still rich, satisfying, and delicious. Even my husband and a few mates (yes, actual men) had a sip, and no one complained. They actually enjoyed it.

But before I go further, I want to be clear.

I don’t drink coffee every day.

My personal go-to are ceremonial cacao and matcha, both of which are gentler on the nervous system and more aligned with how I support my body (and hormones).

But here’s the thing.

So many women I work with are obsessed with their morning coffee. And I get it. It’s a ritual. A moment of pause. A comfort.

That’s exactly why I tried Mumma’s Beans.

To find a better option, something that supports hormone health without robbing them of that ritual they love.

☕ Why Lower-Caffeine Matters (Especially for Women)

You might love your coffee, but here’s the deal: caffeine spikes your cortisol which is your stress hormone.

And when cortisol’s high, it:

Disrupts ovulation
Inhibits progesterone
Lowers thyroid function
Worsens anxiety, bloating, PMS and sleep

… and basically, sends your hormones into a messy roller-coaster.

A lot of my clients rely on multiple coffees to get through the day not realising that their energy crashes, short cycles, or unexplained fertility struggles are partly fuelled by it.

That’s where Mumma’s Beans steps in. It gives you that coffee ritual you love without the nervous system overload.

🌿 Why Organic Isn’t Just a Buzzword

Most commercial coffee is sprayed with pesticides and chemicals that act as endocrine disruptors, meaning they mess with your hormones. Especially oestrogen.

If you’re working on your fertility, have fibroids, heavy periods, PCOS or endometriosis, these added toxins are the last thing you want in your body.

Mumma’s Beans is organic, which means it’s free from those hidden nasties and supports a cleaner, more fertile internal environment.

🤰 For Pregnancy? A Gentle Yes.

I’m often asked, “Can I drink coffee while pregnant?”

Here’s my take: it’s not about cutting out everything, it’s about supporting your body with what it can actually handle right now.

Caffeine crosses the placenta, and your baby can’t metabolise it.

Lower-caffeine options like Mumma’s Beans reduce that load, without sacrificing the joy of your morning brew.
