Product Description

Dark Roast Coffee

How strong is this coffee?

We use a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans that are carefully roasted to deliver a bold, yet smooth cup with an extra kick of caffeine.

What brewing ratio should I use?

We typically recommend using 2.5 Tbsps. of coffee for each 6oz of water. Feel free to use your usual brew method though and adjust from there! If brewing a full pot, we recommend a 1:10 coffee-to-water ratio.

Are there any allergens?

Our coffees are free of any nut or gluten allergens and are produced in facilities that have no possibility of cross-contamination with these allergens.

I didn't try it at first because I truly thought that the coffee might taste like liquid draino or would need multiple cups to k
I have to admit I was sceptical at first, because I am an avid coffee drinker, that coffee could be this potent. I am use to having Cuban espressos when the need called for it but after a while it stopped having that affect on me. The affect that I am talking about is the, I can clean my house in T minus 2 seconds and break the sound barrier at the same time, kind of feeling.I received Deathwish Coffee as a Christmas present from my fiance. He knows the relationship I have with coffee and he agreed to nurture it as long as I don't stab him first thing in the morning. He had mentioned Deathwish to me a while back and when I opened my present I thought it was a gag gift at first. I didn't try it at first because I truly thought that the coffee might taste like liquid draino or would need multiple cups to keep me going, which I don't like to do.The day of the test my friend had come over with her family and she was in dyer need of some coffee. I said hell if going down on this ship might as well take a friend with me. When the coffee was brewing the smell was hypnotizing and strong. I am a stevia and cream kind of gal and I only put stevia in it, it was smooth, tasty and without bitterness. I was impressed with the taste but, what about the rest?Well let me just say I had the coffee at 1pm and was still wide awake at 1am. I woke up early the next morning because the kids were awake and yes I was dragging ass. I made myself a cup of your magical deathwish coffee and I am still kicking with no crashes or downers.I am impressed and you have earned a loyal customer.

Flavor Name: Stone Fruit and Dark Chocolate FlavorSize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
So this is interesting for me. I wouldn't say I am a coffee snob nor would I say I am even a coffee drinker per se. Coffee is something that is probably going to replace my caffeine as I have recently gotten away from drinking soda. So in order to fill that spot I chose coffee as tea doesn't have nearly the amount of caffeine that will keep me going all day.

Now is this the strongest I can't really say? I will say that I have had Starbucks double expresso thing you can buy from stores that are a lot stronger than this so I guess I would say no. On the other hand, it is probably stronger than different dark roast coffees. The other thing is it is not bitter. Some may like that or some may not. I was using a french press so it may be more bitter out of a percolator/drip coffee maker. But it is rather smooth. I had these three ways so far black, sugar, and with honey. I will say this is perfectly fine black. I do prefer a teaspoon of sugar as I think it brought out some of the sweater notes in the coffee. I needed more honey so maybe not the method of sweetening for this coffee.

Overall it is a good coffee it may be on the pricier side of things so maybe not for most. The marketing is on point though so points I guess. They are supposed to be using good sourcing methods for the coffee so if you are into that I think it is a big plus. The only thing is if you were expecting this to blow you away by giving you energy it is not. A big miss conception is, caffeine gives you energy it does not. All caffeine does is trick your brain into thinking you are awake so no matter how strong the coffee it is not going to make you have any more energy than any other coffee but it may make you stay up longer.

Flavor Name: Stone Fruit and Dark Chocolate FlavorSize: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
This coffee is $20 for 1lb of whole beans which is pricey, but they claim it is the strongest (most caffeinated) coffee in the world. If you do not have a coffee grinder at home, you have to get one in order to try this coffee, as they do not sell ground coffee. Or you can cover the whole beans in chocolate and pop them like candy! :)

I ordered mine from Amazon, but they have their own site to order from -deathwishcoffee.com-. You can get all their swag and some chocolate! on their site as well, also very expensive. Mine came with a free sticker that I promptly placed on my laptop, as to create the illusion that I am a bad a$$.

Per package instructions, you have to use 2-1/2 tbs of coffee grounds for each 6 oz (2 cups in a drip coffee maker) of water. Which is more than normal and I was suspicious that the use of more coffee was a ploy for them to get you to run out and buy more- sooner. And that may well be, but the coffee brew that came out of the extra grind was not extra thick- or chewy, as my sister calls it.

The flavor is VERY smooth for a "strong" coffee. The brew was very, very flavorful, not acidic or bitter in the least bit. Which surprised me. It was close to a Kona flavor. And let me just say that I hate the taste of plain coffee. I drink coffee for the caffeine only. And so I normally use a ton of creamer. But I was able to drink the death wish without ANY creamer and I did not want to vomit! So that is a major plus.

But as far as kick in the pants caffeine goes, it was a major let down!!!!! I should preface this by saying that I am a VERY, VERY low energy person. My life exists between naps (which I have learned to sub coffee in for naps because I am an adult and I cannot just take a nap whenever I want, boooo).

Some might say I am an undead entity when not caffeinated. When I have a good, highly caffeinated coffee, my pupils dilate into huge sparkling hearts, I want to drunk text all my family that I love them, -who needs Prozac?- and tackle all the work I have for the next year. But then I get jittery ...

This coffee made me feel awake, but not super charged like I was hoping. I guess it is a more even caffeination because it has also been several hours since my first cup (have had 2 so far and planning on another), I haven't eaten yet today (it is 2:30 PM ish) and I do not feel even a little jittery.

Pros- no jittery feeling, amazing flavor, not acidic or bitter, not a thick brew
Cons-EXPENSIVE, you have to use a lot of it, and will not make you hear colors or taste sounds.

Have a happy caffeinated day!
Update: I didn't realize how caffeinated I was, but I was kicking butt and getting stuff done all the way into the wee hours of the morning (didn't drink as much the next day because I need to sleep sometime). So no jitteryness, LONG lasting caffeine! So Awesome worth the cost.

As it turns out, I probably would not have torn the drywall off the studs, or ripped up the hardwood floors looking for treasure, but what I did find, was a great cup of coffee this morning.
I brewed my Death Wish to spec, with a 2.5 TB scoop, and used my Vietnamese Coffee Filter Set. I did not want any paper filter, no rubber or plastic to interfere with my brewing, and I have perfected the grind and the timing to get a perfect, full-bodied cup of coffee from this set.
Coffee smelled great out of the bag, and after grinding, filled the kitchen with a great dark-coffee aroma. I have become enough of a coffee snob to smell fresh beans from old, and believe it or not, the sound they make falling into the burr grinder is tell-tale of fresh stock or old. These seemed fresh to me, and the box had a best-by date of May 2017. Nothing on the bag itself to indicate the roast/pack date, and that is something that I would like to see, but nonetheless, the beans seemed fresh.
Burr-Grinder set to just two clicks shy of medium-fine, and the ground coffee was jet black and smelled great. Not as "dark" smelling as a French Roast or Espresso, but darker tones for sure. Not as much chocolate and walnuts as was described, but a good scent. Just off the boil, at 202 degrees I bloomed the initial pour with a half ounce for twenty seconds, and then filled up the 8cm Filter to the top.
Timer set for 4 minutes, and when the timer went off, I was just at the very end of the brew, and I added another two ounces of water at 195 degrees, to complete the last thirty seconds. Typically I will brew just the 8cm and add hot water Americano-style, but for this initial test, I wanted full strength with grind-pour only.
Initial sip had great dark nose, not very floral, no cherries or fruit for me, but a nutty, burnt-toast sip. The smell paired nicely with dark-roast properties, and I had a good balance of nose and flavor, right from sip one.
Overall, this roast had similar notes to a French as far as the flavor, and I suspect these guys experimented a great deal with just how close they could get to the precipice before they over-roasted the beans, and ended up with beans that were too well done.
As far as the caffeine levels go, I am going to be honest and admit to being a 10-12 cup a day guy, so I did not notice any crazy uptick in my heightened awareness, or cosmic intervention that was brought on by the surplus of caffeine in the beans. I purposely brewed with my stainless filter kit, so I did not take away any oil, flavor, or have any taste properties tainted by outside flavor-changers. I brewed full-strength, per instructions, and ended up with a dark, great-tasting brew, but cannot report any real caffeine-related differences physiologically.
The coffee tasted really good, seemed freshly roasted- based on smell, color and bean condition, and I did not end up with a lot of chaff or unwanted extras within the grinding process. I will report back and update if I do notice any extra jolt this coffee provides, but I feel my caffeine intake is high enough, this is not going to be a selling point for me personally.
The bottom line for me is taste, and this is good coffee, which I enjoyed.

I like the whole bean you get a very fresh cup of coffee every time. The taste is smooth and delicious. Not as strong as the name implies.

3.0 out of 5 stars BLANDO Y MUY LIGERITO

Para atreverse a decir que es el café más fuerte del mundo, esta marca no cumple la promesa ni al 50%. Ambos paquetes venían muy bien sellados, con buena fecha de caducidad en una caja muy padre con un sticker de regalo. Procedí a moler un poco para preparar un espresso y recién molido el olor era delicioso, lo malo empezó al probarlo; no tiene cuerpo, es “plano” no hay notas ni matices, lo peor es que sí te da un “kick” pero es muy ligero, nada que ver con mezclas nacionales como la M4 de Punta del Cielo o cualquier variedad que te vendan en El Jarocho, ésos si son potentes! Death Wish es un excelente ejercicio de marketing pero nahhh, parace la versión light de cualquier café de verdad.

El café es fuerte y suave. Quizás le falte un toque de amargor para mi gusto. Pero en general bastante bien.

Ce café est très fort, vraiment très fort mais il est aussi très bon(ce qui n'est pas le cas de certains cafés forts).

5.0 out of 5 stars The finest tasting coffee I have ever tried

Well, after reading the previous reviews, I thought this coffee was worth a try. There appear to be two sides on the review platform; those who don't think it's that strong, and those who are so affected by the caffeire that they must be wimps!

For what it's worth, here is my opinion of this wonderful coffee! True, it is strong, but it is definitely not bitter. Some coffee producers use a lot of "robusta" beans to give their coffee a kick - the more robusta beans, the more bitter the coffee.

I would guess there isn't very much robusta in the Death Wish, in fact it's probably the finest tasting coffee I have ever tried. It is darkly roasted and has a wonderfully rounded flavour that plays with the taste buds. This is where it gets interesting; as the flavour casual
