intense caffeinated dark roast drink, named 'Death Wish Coffee', is
blended from the strongest beans in the world and contains double the

An online coffee firm have invented what they claim is the world's
strongest coffee - which contains 200 per cent more caffeine and comes
with its own health warning.
Mike Brown's intense caffeinated
dark roast drink, named 'Death Wish Coffee', is blended from the
strongest beans in the world and contains double the amount of caffeine
of the average Starbucks coffee.
His Death Wish Coffee beans are
ground very fine for extra potency - and Mike even says the extreme brew
is his most popular blend.
The rather threatening packaging on
'Death Wish Coffee' comes with a skull and crossbones, while a label
warns that 'sleepless nights will result'.
Mike came up with the
idea after owning and running a coffee company for the 6 years, in New
York. However, one problem he frequently encountered was customers
craving a strong coffee.
Mike said: 'All of the premium dark roast coffee on the market was not as caffeinated as the lighter roasts.
Customers
would come in and say, 'Give me a cup of your strongest coffee.' and I
would reply, 'We serve nothing but the best coffee here, but our
strongest tasting coffee is not our most caffeinated coffee'. A puzzled
look would usually follow.'
He said: 'I made it my mission to
find a coffee that is dark, rich and flavorful but also has high
caffeine content. All while being grown organically fairly traded, and
shade grown.
Death Wish Coffee is made from Robusta
beans which contain 'nearly double the amount of caffeine' than the
Arabica beans used by high-end roasters, according to experts.
A single 12-ounce cup of coffee at Starbucks contains approximately
260 milligrams of caffeine according to EnergyFiend, a caffeine
database. The same cup from Death Wish Coffee contains 520 milligrams,
double the amount.
Mike added: 'Usually the lighter the roast, the more the caffeine. But most coffee drinkers prefer a darker roast.
'This
is medium-roast so it has more flavor than other highly-caffeinated
blends. We sell 13 different blends of coffee, and Death Wish is our
most popular one.'
