Beautiful creamy taste.

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).

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.

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
