Death Wish in a Mug!

Hi there! Great to see you. Thanks for kicking on by today. Ready for a jolt of coffee and a virtual treat? Hell, yeah! But, I have to tell you, I mean I like coffee but there are places in Thailand where I would occasionally go where the coffee was BAM! STRONG! I say... STRONG! I would need some food in my stomach (some say it's an excuse got a piece of Chocolate Mud Cake...hmm, maybe once in a while, eh).

If you feel regular coffee isn’t strong enough to keep you awake and focused through the day, you might want to try a big cup of Death Wish. It’s advertised as the world’s strongest coffee and allegedly has 200% more caffeine that the average dark roast. That'll do it!

The name isn’t too encouraging for the faint-of-heart, but if you’re not too put off by it and the skull-and-bones logo on the pack, Death Wish may just become the best friend you could hope for. Upstate New York roaster Death Wish Coffee claims they have found a highly caffeinated bean that gives coffee that full Arabica flavor and double the buzz.

The creators of this powerful roast explain that while Arabica coffee is smoother and more flavorful than the harsher Robusta variety, it also has a much lower caffeine content. Also, dark roast coffee is weaker than a light roast, because the longer you “cook” it, the more caffeine is pulled out.

So while you’re favorite cup of joe might be strong in flavour, it probably has a very low caffeine content. After 5 years of having to tell sleepy customers who asked for a cup of their strongest coffee that their strongest tasting roasts were actually very low in caffeine, the makers of Death Wish went on a mission to find a special kind of coffee bean that had the full flavor of dark-roasted Arabica and the highest caffeine content possible. It seems they were successful.

Well, I hope I improved your coffee edu-ma-cation today. Sure did mine...and our new old house is just a 20 minute drive from Upstate New York. Hmmm...!

See ya, eh!
