Death Wish Coffee, Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend - Whole Bean Dark Roast - Extra Kick of Caffeine - Arabica & Robusta Coffee Beans - 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)

Excellent and delicious killer not bitter aftertaste or acid coffee. Though pricey but worth it good kick in 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.

This is my favorite coffee! We have a subscription, which we have had for some time. I didn’t realize that it was high caffeine, until a friend told me. It doesn’t make me jittery at all and the taste is smooth.

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.

Need to wake up in the morning? This is it! Good strong coffee with great flavor!!

WEll!! Color me impressed!! If this coffee were just a little smoother, and a little darker, then it would totally rival mine own Napoli Stye home roast. Napoli Roast is that wonderful ultra-dark cofdfee you usually only see at Italian Restaurants and is almost impossible to procure in the states, so I learned to make it. I've tried so hard to find anything else like my favorite coffee (Including virtually every dark roast Lavazza).. This blend comes the closest, but it is a tiny bit sharp in comparison.. The beans are so very fresh and just covered in that lovely coffee oil. One cup will definitely get you up and going and full of energy and fully functional for the day, and it sits well on the stomach.. Two cups and you will be lying in bed stairing at the ceiling at 3am going, "Ummmm That ceiling really needs painting.. Might as well get up and DUIT TUIT!!!!!" {Chuckles}. Mama Mia~!! That'sa Tha' Stuff!!! The smell of it brewing is heady and strong.. You KNOW... that you will get a good cupper out of it fromt he fragrance alone. The price as higher than I like to pay, but they don't short change you and the coffee is of very good quality. I also find it to be excellent for blending with other coffies for use in my percolator, so it is versatile as well.

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!

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.

Ce café est très fort, vraiment très fort mais il est aussi très bon(ce qui n'est pas le cas de certains cafés forts).

Einfach wow. Kräftig intensiv und keine magenprobleme. Geschmacklich eins a. Nur er könnte etwas stärker sein aber ansonsten sehr gut

El café es fuerte y suave. Quizás le falte un toque de amargor para mi gusto. Pero en general bastante bien.

Well, after reading the previous reviews, I thought this coffee was worth a try. There appear to be two sides on the review platform; those who don't think it's that strong, and those who are so affected by the caffeire that they must be wimps! For what it's worth, here is my opinion of this wonderful coffee! True, it is strong, but it is definitely not bitter. Some coffee producers use a lot of "robusta" beans to give their coffee a kick - the more robusta beans, the more bitter the coffee. I would guess there isn't very much robusta in the Death Wish, in fact it's probably the finest tasting coffee I have ever tried. It is darkly roasted and has a wonderfully rounded flavour that plays with the taste buds. This is where it gets interesting; as the flavour casual
