Five Star Reviews: | 83% Get WOKE with deathwish April 13, 2017 Be sure to know, this is a whole bean bag, not ground!! I didn't and it was nearly disastrous.Where I am, with who I am caffeinating, to NOT have Deathwish coffee, incurs a death wish.We ran out for a few days, and the overall speed at which business typically runs, ground (pun intended) to a halt.We very nearly started chewing on beans to grind them in our mouths in order to function.Thankfully, a quick email and faster shipping saved our daily routines.Thank you deathwish, or for us, caffinated, open eyed, wake inducing, nectar beans of the gods.We love you Helluva good coffee! April 12, 2017 I don't know about the whole "World's Strongest Coffee" claim, but this is nevertheless some very good coffee. The package I got was very fresh, tasting very smooth and perfectly palatable to drink black despite being full-bodied and very strong. Haven't tried it on my French press at home yet, just at work on presumably a fairly run-of-the-mill food service coffee maker, but if it tastes good brewed on that I can only imagine it'll be great from a French press. Will try to remember to update the review later with results. Drink... go for a run.. yum yum April 6, 2017 Soooo I drink coffee everyday and always buy fresh roasted coffee beans. I was a weeee bit skeptical but after reading and laughing (some of you are hilarious writers) at the review I figured I'd give it a shot.Wow not only did my chest hair turn from black to silver, but I cleaned the house after my first cup (much to the liking of my wife). Then next day I thought I'd try drinking a cup before a 5:00 am run. Hi acid coffee, such as that from some big gigantic chain with a green symbol that has disgusting coffee, reeks havoc on my stomach. Figured we shall see if the boost/caffeine/stomach etc would be good to drink and then run. And yes, yea yea yea, coffee dehydrates and shouldn't drink before running etc. Incredible! no bad effects, stomach didn't fee yucky, but the caffeine boost kept me alert and cruising along!Highly recommend brewing with Moccamaster, the best coffee pot, brewing the strongest coffee = yummmBuy you will like it. and better yet read some of the review I had tears laughing at some peoples creative writing :-) The coffie has a very nice flavor. I will buy this coffie again just ... April 4, 2017 UPDATE: I have tryed several other types of specialty coffies and evn tryed the ne strongest coffee in the world. Deathwish beats them all. This stuff tastes better and works better then them all. I will be buying more.I ordered this randomly week ago. It was supposed to show up 2 days after I ordered but to my suprise it showed up within 1 day. I ground and brewed my first pot rite away for me and my wife. The coffie has a very nice flavor. I will buy this coffie again just for the taste. It is amazingly smooth. It wakes me up and gets me going but I don't get the jitters that I would have expected. This is definitely a great coffie. Not For the Faint of Heart January 20, 2017 No lies here. Many coffee company's try to give their coffee a badass name and logo, and claim to have the most kick...and it's all smoke and mirrors. Not Death Wish. I normally drink 20-30oz coffee a day... once 8oz cup of this had me wired for hours...on four hours sleep after a 13 hour work day. I do not recommend, if you drink a lot of coffee, drinking this in the same dose...your heart will probably explode. I will never let myself run out of stock of Death Wish. Oh, and the flavor quality is also robust and superb. Pretty great coffee April 23, 2014 This coffee is pretty good honestly, and the kick it gives you is great. If you want to stay up all night look no further! However, I was disappointed by the lack of death the coffee supplied, but I guess that isn't all bad. | 90% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 10% Not as strong as I thought January 25, 2017 I bought this as a Christmas gift for my parents who already drink the boldest darkest French Roast that they can find. First things first, this is one of the nicest packaged coffees I've ever bought. Each package comes in it's own sturdy cardboard box and includes a sticker! On to the coffee...initially, we were all pretty apprehensive, it being called "Death Wish Coffee" and all but after brewing a batch, it seemed like any other coffee. I can't say that it perked me up any more than any other coffee I've had- although I already seem to be relatively caffeine insensitive (i.e. can drink a cup before bed and go straight to sleep). It's a tasty cup of coffee but I'm not sure about world's strongest cup. In all fairness a couple weeks after trying the coffee I discovered an email from the death wish coffee company with instructions about how to best brew the coffee. So I'll update this review as soon as we do so - here's to hoping for some STRONG coffee. Death Wish 2: Die Harder'r January 7, 2017 I'm both pleased and disappointed with this coffee, but RESULTS NOT TYPICAL, AND I'LL TELL YA WHY.So, I had a inkling that I was immune to caffeine, (possibly something passed down from my mom. (Both she and I drink coffee before bed with no problems.) So I decided, to test it out with Death Wish. I mean, maybe I was just a little desensitized to caffeine. Surely if chugged a cup, maybe two, I could beat my own metabolism, right? Well, as it turns out, no I can't. Either I'm a little too far gone, or I do have that fast caffeine metabolism gene. ON THE PLUS SIDE, Death Wish's claims had me thinking that it would just be kind of strong, something that doesn't necessarily taste good but people drink for bragging rights, or the caffeine content. Either that or it would be another case of "acquired taste." However, I'm pretty happy to say that out of the few whole-bean coffees I've ground, this one might be my favorite so far. I don't add sugar, just a bit of cream. It goes down pretty smooth, and has a hint of it's own natural sweetness. (Nothing too drastically sweet, so don't get your hopes up.)This will probably be my coffee choice from now on. You win this round Death Wish... I purchased this coffee to see what all the hype is about... January 1, 2017 I purchased this coffee to see what all the hype is about and to try to find an energy boost in conjunction with a ketogenic diet. I do enjoy the fact that this brand is organic and Fair Trade. I prefer to stick with single-origin coffee brands but I certainly don't mind shying away from that preference in search of a good product. After popping some of these whole beans in my grinder, I prepped up my French Press and was ready for my first cup. Now, I do drink a lot of coffee; several cups a day. And I am well tolerated regarding caffeine sensitivity. However, I took the suggestion of starting out with about half of the recommended serving. I felt no additional energy or affects of caffeine than normal. My second cup was the full, recommended serving. Again, no additional energy. As my third and fourth cups were each made stronger, I still felt no additional energy. Although I didn't get to experience what all the hype is about, I will say the coffee is delicious and very smooth. Based on taste and quality, I would buy this again. After all, the price point is very reasonable for the quality. Try it September 26, 2016 I first bought Death Wish coffee as a result of the last Superbowl commercial, more out of curiosity. I am a coffee snob and like only certain blends. So, I tried Death Wish coffee. A little strong but it's supposed to be. The cost for ordering on a regular basis was too prohibitive so I left it at that. Then I saw the coffee on Amazon and being a Prime member, my shipping was free. I ordered both the Death Wish and Valhalla blends. The Valhalla blend is good. Haven't attempted the Death Wish mega-caffeinated just yet. Don't need to be kicked awake that quickly. It's meant for gentle sipping.The coffee is high quality and worth the price. Sure, I guess July 18, 2016 Reading the reviews, I thought this stuff would peel my eyelids off. It's not quite that strong, and it's not even the strongest coffee I've had. Newman's Own Special Extra Bold Blend Coffee K-Cups, Medium Roast, 100 Count is actually the strongest coffee I've ever had, and it rounds out to about $0.50 per serving when you purchase it at a wholesaler (Sam's Club for me). It's more bitter than Death Wish, which I love, but my wife hates. Death Wish is a smoother brew, and the flavor is a bit more pleasant. So no points deducted for taste, but this coffee isn't really that strong. A fresh brew from Starbucks or the Newman's Extra Bold outdo this one in that department.Still, I'm not upset that I tried it. Quality beans. My experience with the first pot of Death Wish Coffee April 11, 2013 Here's a general rundown of my experience with the first pot of Death Wish Coffee.1st cup - Hmm, this aint bad. Tastes pretty good. I like it.2nd cup - Dang, I'm feeling groovy. Let's get some work done.3rd cup - Didyaknowscientiststhinkthereareparalleluniversesandlikeyoucouldbelivinganinfiniteamountoflivesindifferentrealities?4th cup - OH. MY. GOD. THERE ARE ANTS CRAWLING UNDER MY SKIN, DUDE!Summation: Dang good. A swift kick in the ass. But really expensive. | 7% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 3% Great Novelty Coffee! September 4, 2017 This is tasty. But, where is the kick? I ordered this a few times because the novelty was great. Love the name. But, for me coffee is more than a name. I missed my morning kick. I missed the dreads smell of freshly roasted coffee beans. But, most importantly I needed to wake up. So, I had to go back to my old faithful Peet's coffee. save your money. Just a marketing gimmick May 14, 2017 It is no great shakes and certainly not worth the price paid. I bought into the marketing blurb on the highest level of caffeine in coffee blah blah blah. In the end I drank just as much as I would from any other brand and felt nothing extra in terms of a buzz or being wired. The packaging was amazing. Came in a perfectly sized heavy duty matching ... December 3, 2016 The packaging was amazing. Came in a perfectly sized heavy duty matching logo box with the coffee and a sticker nestled inside. The coffee beans smell a little bitter, and although I take extra care grinding the beans (to make sure they don't heat up), the coffee tastes burnt to me. I don't even have a warming plate, but a tightly sealed thermal pot to keep it hot, so it's not an issue of my grinding or letting the coffee sit too long. This is disappointing because as a grad student with a baby, I love the extra caffeine at 4:30am. I gave it 3 stars because of all the extra care taken with the packaging and because some people may enjoy this flavor. I do not because the beans hemselves even smell bitter and almost burnt, so the taste is not good. Tastes really good not any stronger than espresso roast from Starbucks October 5, 2016 There are benefits to purchasing this brand since it is organic including good karma points since it is "fair trade" but the brewing ration is 2.5 Tbs to 6 ounces vs just 2 Tbs with other strong coffee brands. If you're looking for the best bang for your buck go elsewhere. It does taste good vs other brands I've tried including Starbucks espresso roast. Regardless of the cost I would buy this again because it's nice to know farmers are getting paid fairly for their hard work. Good Not Great February 16, 2016 First, I love strong coffee. For the past few years my wife and I have used a Keurig. I realize that's probably not what a real coffee aficionado uses but it works for us. It's quick and easy. I've tried many Kcups but have to say my favorite is Tully's French Roast. Strong bold flavor...I love it. So when I saw Death Wish touting strongest coffee in the world, I had to try it. I bought the whole beans, ground it and used it in the Keurig pod that let's you use your own coffee. The coffee is ok but not the world's strongest tasting coffee in my opinion. My wife on the other hand really likes it. She needs to add cream to the Tully's but can drink this black. If world's strongest coffee means the highest caffiene content then that might be a different story. I just don't think I feel much effect from caffiene so I'm not a good judge. I'm going to try it in my Aeropress to see if it tastes different using an alternative brewing method. So I would say the coffee is good, I would never turn it down, but at $19.95 a bag I probably won't make it a subscription purchase. I did like the bonus sticker that came with the coffee. Nice touch. As I like my coffee strong February 8, 2016 I use the Jura Capresso coffee maker that grinds the beans right before brewing. The strength of the coffee is determined by the amount of water you program the machine to use. As I like my coffee strong, I use 3.5 oz of water per "shot". I liked the taste of the Death Wish coffee, but I did not find it any stronger than the Starbucks French Roast beans I usually use. I was waiting for the extra jolt of energy a lot of your customers described, but other than maybe my heart beating a little faster, I cannot say I felt more enthusiastic about my daily chores than usual. Given the price per pound, I will probably not make this my regular coffee of choice. I do like the Fair Trade component though | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 2% Disappointed :-( July 30, 2017 I was disappointed with this coffee. What I was looking forward to was the taste and no so much the caffeine boost. And it tasted a bit bland. I used a drip and pour-over method to brew it and either way the taste was the same. I shared it with colleagues and they had the same feeling.The caffeine boost is very good. It does give you a bit of a kick.So, if you're looking for a great taste of coffee with some a caffeine boost, look else where Coffee with Dead Caffeine April 21, 2017 Death Wish Organic USDA Certified Whole Bean Coffee, 16 Ounce BagUp to this point, the strongest coffee I have tried came from the bucks. I was very excited to get and try this coffee claiming to be the worlds strongest. Don't get me wrong, it has good flavor, but I didn't order it for the flavor. I wanted to try some kick butt coffee and that's what I feel I didn't' get. Yes, I'm a daily coffee drinker, so maybe even from the regular stuff I've developed a tolerance; but when you compare the stated caffeine levels this is supposed to have verses what I've been drinking; I expected a slight rush, or some hype tingling; or something. All I thought and felt was good flavor. Me and my spouse are coffe fanatics, coffe smells ... November 29, 2016 Me and my spouse are coffe fanatics, coffe smells burn, and the bag had a rip in it.They may have chosen highly caffeinated beings, but the way they are roasted does not allow to maintain their caffein. I tried using this and it's not noticeably stronger than the other stuff i've been trying and it tastes horrible. Granted cold b September 13, 2016 I've been making cold brew for a few months. I tried using this and it's not noticeably stronger than the other stuff i've been trying and it tastes horrible. Granted cold brew is much enhanced by anything with richer notes. This just tasted burnt and bitter- which is not something you should get from cold brew unless you let it steep for too long. I tried 12 hours, 8 hours and even 6 hours... all of which gave us the same bitter, burnt taste.The branding and PR team is amazing though. It looks like lots of the reviews on Amazon reference their website and can't say anything wrong about the product. Disappointed September 12, 2016 I was very excited about trying this coffee, I had read numerous reviews that only reinforced my excitement. When I got my package I opened immediately squeezed the bag and took a deep breath over the vent........nothing. There was no scent of any kind. Ok, I was thinking maybe it is package different so the vent is covered. Since it was sold and reviewed as being VERY strong, I was a little concerned it maybe too strong for us. So the next morning, I mixed it half and half. My spouse and I both said it tasted burnt, not a fan of the flavor and no extra boost of energy. Ok, maybe mixing wasn't a good idea. Next morning mixed straight Death Wish coffee, stronger burnt taste, still not liking the flavor and still no boost in energy from caffeine content. My spouse pointed out that the beans looked dried out. I put some beans next to another brand we have since purchase and that is correct. I am going to just mix it with our current brand until its gone but I will not purchase again. For the price and the quality I will not purchase again. Neat package, but coffee tastes really burnt...and no pick me up February 21, 2016 On shipping: it took over a week just for it to ship. Annoying.The product: I wasteallyexxired to try this coffee. When it FINALLY came in, I was disappointed. It smelled good. Then I brewed a cup. I personally love dark, strong coffee. The way I see it, there is no such thing as coffee that is too strong, just men who are too weak. Well the coffee tasted burnt, not dark. It tasted like a light coffee that has been sitting on a burner for hours. Pretty gross. And it didn't give me the perk. I ended up taking a nap shortly after I drank the first cup.So I tried the coffee a couple more times. It tasted the same and had the same effect.The package is cool and it came in a neat box, but the packaging was not worth the 20 bucks. Folgers tastes better. I am very disappointed. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 2% My beans were burned, sadly . . . June 21, 2017 My bag of whole beans was burned, unfortunately. Could determine that instantly when the seal was broken. Gave one star, just for the caffeine. Would not purchase again unless they adjusted their roasting times/temperatures. Wish this was better coffee April 6, 2017 Pretty weak coffee. I tried to grind it course and fine to bring out the flavor and it was still week. I eventually mixed it with a dark roast from Trader Joe's to get a stronger coffee. I also felt no difference caffeine wise either. I drank 2 cups (large) and was still sleepy. Feel like I wasted $20. I would have returned if the seller allowed returns. Where's the insane amount of Caffeine? November 18, 2016 I'm not a coffee addict or anything but I wanted to try this because Im always tired in the mornings at work. This coffee honestly didn't do ANYTHING...and sometimes it would make me sleepy. I got more of a kick from some cheap Folgers than this. Is It Decaffeinated? September 23, 2016 The only good thing about this coffee is crema. That's it. The taste is O.K. and it seems like itdoesn't contain any caffeine. I'm very sensitive to caffeine, but this coffee didn't work for me at all. Also, it's waytoo overpriced. Disappointed and don't recommend it to anyone. | 1% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
