Death Wish coffee: World’s strongest coffee has ’200 per cent’ more caffeine than normal cuppa (Metro)



"Overdosing on caffeine to keep your eyes from hitting the floor during your 16-hour office shift has a distinct possibility of putting you in an early grave.

However, an American company has decided to embrace this by bringing out  a blend of coffee named Death Wish, which it has dubbed ‘The World’s Strongest Coffee’.
Delivered in a black packet emblazoned with a skull and crossbones, the coffee is said to have ’200 per cent’ more caffeine than your standard cuppa.
‘This is not your regular morning coffee.  This is not your store bought coffee.  You will not find this coffee at your local diner or at your sissy Starbucks,’ its disclaimer reads.
‘Death Wish Coffee is the most highly caffeinated premium dark roast organic coffee in the world. This is Extreme Coffee, not for the weak. Consider yourself warned.’
With over 11,000 likes on Facebook, Death Wish has clearly caused a stir, with website testimonies proclaiming ‘This coffee should be illegal…Thanks!!’ and ‘I’ve died and gone to heaven’.
Time magazine’s Rebecca Nelson test drove the beans, which are sold in 450g (1lb) bags priced at £13.
Describing herself as a ‘former Starbucks barista who basically mainlined espresso shots night and day’ she blogged about experiencing an intense high, which was soon followed by a caffeine comedown.
‘You know that feeling when your eyes have been open for 36 hours straight?’ she asks.
So perhaps Death Wish is not for the faint-hearted but if you’re not impressed, the New York-based company run by coffee shop owner Mike Brown will buy your robusta beans back.
There’s no mention of covering funeral expenses though."
