Death Wish Coffee, Whole Bean Dark Roast - USA Organic Coffee Beans Bundle/Bulk - Fair Trade Arabica & Robusta - 16 Ounce (Pack of 2)

This Death Wish Coffee dark roast is a winner! Amazing price compared to what I usually pay in stores, and the flavor is exactly what I love, bold, smooth, and not bitter at all. It makes a seriously great cup of coffee. Highly recommend if you’re into a rich dark roast without the harsh aftertaste.

My new favorite espresso. The flavor is a chocolatey caramel hue. Strong coffee flavor without bitterness. I don't know how they did it!!! Love that it's organic too. These beans are dark and fresh. They grind well. Also, it doesn't not upset my GI tract, if you catch my drift. I use it in my Moka pot and it's so yummy. I'm honesty so happy to have given Death Wish a try.

This was a birthday present for my boss. He absolutely loved the flavor and the high caffeine content.Good value for the money. I would definitely recommend!

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.

When a product is over-marketed like this one, with verbiage more appropriate to a biker bar tequila than coffee, you gotta be a little suspicious about what they are covering for. Turns out, this is perfectly good coffee, better than many I've tried. For organic, dark roast coffee, it's right up there with Cameron's. Deep flavor, fresh oily beans, not burnt tasting or bitter. Don't be turned off by the silly packaging.

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.

10/10 BEST ESPRESSO I HAVE EVER HAD. Don't buy any other one I wish this was the first I had bought because this is the only espresso I will be buying indefinitely. I’m still shocked at how good this home brewed espresso was, way better than anything I could get at Starbucks or Peet’s. This is your sign to buy this one, the reviews are telling the truth! I want to add that this one doesn’t have that weird acidic taste when you drink it and honestly this espresso is just everything to me right now. 10/10 love it
