Review: Good flavor - This coffee was good. It was very rich and had a fresh and strong smell to it. Pretty dark roast. It was a bit pricey, but we expected that. Did not seem to have any extra umph to it, but we drink a lot of coffee.
Review: Amazing cold-brew, much better than Death Wish - I've tried several different "high caffeine" roasts and I can say this one is my favorite. First the cons: 1) There aren't a lot of oils in the beans so a French press brew like I use falls flatter than others if not extracted correctly. It's important to let it "bloom" (coffee snob term) and follow the press directions precisely to ensure a good cup. A customer service rep said that some batches do have more oils then others; I will update when the next order comes in. 2) My best cup out of my French Press has been soaking it for at least 5 minutes. Usually this results in a bitter cup, however for this roast it was the perfect amount of time to achieve a good flavor. Pros: 1) Caffeine! It has more than Death Wish or Valhalla (not quantitative, just my qualitative taste buds) which is awesome and definitely helps me get up in the morning 2) AMAZING cold-brew. I use the Toddy system. My suggestion: Super coarse grind, follow the directions manual (alternating water/coffee pour), soak for exactly 18 hours, drain. When your ready for your drink, use 4 oz. concentrate with 6 oz. milk and 1 oz of vanilla syrup. My roommate who doesn't even enjoy the taste of coffee gulped this down. 3) Even though it is not as oily as I would like for this dark roast, it was still much tastier then the Death Wish brand. It is lighter, a little cleaner taste without the burnt aftertaste. All in all, best high-caffeine roast on desertcart, and best all-around cold brew roast. Possible improvements: a lighter roast for the morning. Caffeine is burnt off the more it roasts (unlike the common dark=caffeine myth), this could result in a better tasting cup.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Banned Coffee is the best highly caffinated coffee that you will find on Amazon
*by B***K on June 4, 2016*

Banned Coffee is the best highly caffinated coffee that you will find on Amazon. I’ve been on a hunt for variants of extreme coffee, as I’m a journalist, 11-year military veteran, and current grad school student. I need caffeinated coffee to do what I do every day . . . I have also built up quite the caffeine tolerance over the years. Quite honestly, my hunt began as I, hinged on my free shipping via Prime membership. So I had to search through a variety brands, and many seemed like hipster hype. Even so, I narrowed it down in-between Banned Coffee and Deathwish Coffee on my first buy. On the first order, I purchased Deathwish as they offered two brews – both were miserable and as caffeinated as a cup of Truck Stop Folgers crystals from a Ready Serv . . . Both their Valhalla and Deathwish blends – thanks, but no thanks. For Banned Coffee, I've gone through a two-pound bag of awesome in a few weeks . . . So yes, I’m clearly enjoying it. I, of course, wish it was a bit more powerful. Then again, I’m the guy up orders seven espressos shots in a single Americano when I order coffee on the go. There may never be a caffeinated enough beverage for myself. Yet I’ll continue to reorder these 2lbers on payday . . . Until you make a stronger blend. Other than that, keep up the great work so that we may alert and awake!
