Mama Brew FAQ: Everything You Wanted to Know
Got questions about Mama Brew? You're not alone. Here's everything we get asked, answered honestly and in one place.
What's Mama Brew?
Mama Brew is decaf and low-caf, vitamin-enriched coffee for mums. The kind you can actually drink while pregnant or breastfeeding, instead of googling "is caffeine in toast?" at 4am.
- Made with premium Colombian beans, because taste and quality still matter
- Packed with 6 essential vitamins and minerals
- Gentle on your body, kind to your baby
We built it because we couldn't find a coffee that felt both safe and satisfying. Now it exists, and we're genuinely proud to share it with you.
Is It Safe If I'm Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Short answer: yes. That's the whole reason Mama Brew exists, developed with a science-led approach and real purpose behind it, not just a nice idea.
- Low in caffeine, or fully decaf
- Packed with folic acid, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B12, and calcium
- Free from sweeteners and additives

What Makes It Different?
Mama Brew is decaf and low-caffeine, but with purpose.
- Decaf: less than 6mg of caffeine per cup. Low-Caf: less than 30mg per cup
- Supports energy, focus, and recovery without the heavy caffeine hit
- Made of premium Colombian beans
- Vitamin-packed (6 vitamins and minerals) for pregnancy and postpartum
- No artificial stuff, just a clean, smooth functional coffee

All blended into a comforting, coffee-tasting ritual you can actually feel good about.
What Vitamins Are in Mama Brew, and Why?
This isn't just "coffee with stuff in it." Each vitamin was picked to support you during and after pregnancy, when your body is doing a lot.
- Folic Acid (B9) → Supports baby's development and your recovery
- Vitamin D → Immunity and energy
- Vitamin B12 → Helps fight fatigue and supports red blood cells
- Magnesium → Mood, sleep, and muscle function
- Vitamin C → Immunity and helps the body absorb iron
- Calcium → Bone health and cell function
All that, in a cup that tastes like actual coffee. Win.
How Much Can I Drink?
One to two sachets a day is just right. Mama Brew is made to complement your supplements, not replace them.
Here's the caffeine context:
- Pregnant? The NHS recommends under 200mg of caffeine per day
- Breastfeeding? Up to 300mg per day
- Our Low-Caf: under 30mg per cup
- Our Decaf: under 6mg per cup
It's mama-friendly and won't leave you buzzing or crashing. Just a gentle daily ritual to support you and your little one.
How Do I Make It?
You're three steps away from feeling mildly more human:
- Rip it. Tear open your sachet like the mum you are.
- Pour it. Add 200ml of hot (not boiling) water, 80°C is our sweet spot.
- Stir it. Sip it. Sigh. That's it, you made something for yourself today.
Want to get fancy? Add oat milk, froth it, pour it over ice. Or don't, either way, you win.
Can I Make It Iced?
Absolutely. Here's our efficient-mama method:
- Add your sachet to 100ml of hot water
- Stir until fully dissolved
- Top with cold water or milk
- Add ice cubes and oat milk, if you're feeling it
Boom. Iced coffee, no crash, no fuss.
Can Non-Mums Drink Mama Brew?
No bump or baby required. Mama Brew is low-caf or decaf coffee packed with vitamins, so it's easier on your system without the jitters.
- Dads drink it.
- Grandparents drink it.
- Burnt-out office humans drink it.
