desertcart.com : Death Wish Coffee Organic Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 16 oz (2 Pack) | Arabica & Robusta Blend, Baker's Chocolate & Cherry Notes, Low Acidity, Grind Fresh, Bulk 2-Pack : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Hesitantly, I say freeze these beans for storage. - I have known of this coffee since middle school, the years when it began to take off with a couple famous YouTuber endorsements, back in the days when I used to watch YouTube as a kid. And the wait to actually trying it . . . .was well worth it. 5 star coffee and 5 star organic quality with still a robust and dark roast to enjoy with milk and sugar. I have yet to try a cup of black straight death wish. The energy is a smooth hit of caffeine, exactly as strong as I had hoped in ordinance with the 2.5tbsp/6oz product guideline. The flavor of the brew shows a precise overtaking of the milk and sugar that I opted to add with my first cup. (2%) Leaving ultimately a wonderful blend of the roast's ambitious flavor in the mouth that makes me excited for a dark cup of brew. The freshness of the beans upon opening and throwing into my burr grinder, left minuscule room for improvement, in expectation of a dreamy but standard pungent quality of freshness with likeness to my normal titan-brand Starbucks cup. I conclude and adorn with the authentic organic quality of this roast/blend. It feels light on my coffee-seasoned stomach, light as air, and on my first morning tired-and-miserable cup of daily coffee. Good for the bones. I leave you readers with "A 6-star striving cup of coffee, on the standard scale of 5." Designed to give yourself the edge you need in that cup of coffee, and smooth as ever.
Review: Great Start to the Morning. - My Death Wish Coffee arrived promptly Wednesday afternoon, and I had to wait until this morning to taste and review, as I did not want to spend the wee hours of Thursday morning spinning around the house like a whirling dervish, waking the children as I came down off my Death-Wish tweak.. 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Updated: Not what I expected, but very pleased.
*by R***E on February 4, 2015*

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.
