Death Wish Coffee!
Speaking
of Christmas... now it's over, the coffee we will be looking at today was a
present from my lovely girlfriend. She thought it would be funny to see me have
a heart attack, from the coffee that boasts the world's highest caffeine
content, Death Wish Coffee! Although all being said, no heart attack and I'm
currently on my 6th cup of the stuff (not all in 1 day by the way).
Death
Wish Coffee boasts being the world's strongest coffee, offering the highest caffeine
content of any other coffee out there. So it's only natural for me to put it to the test. I initially had 1 cup around 6 o'clock, thinking to myself
that by drinking it at this time I shouldn't be unable to sleep at
around 12 o'clock (after all it is the strongest coffee). That was unfortunately
not the case, I hit the hay at around 11:30 and was asleep before 12:00 (I
know, I'm such the party animal). So being disappointed I left it a day then
attempted it again the following day, this time with some result (spoilers)! I
thought right 1 cup might not do it for me (I consider myself to have a high tolerance
to coffee), so I poured myself a cup around 3 o'clock and then another at
around 6-7 o'clock, which did it! Firstly I was a little hyper throughout the
day, which was fun, then come bed, needless to say it was a struggle to sleep.
I hit the hay around 01:00 in the morning (my girlfriend was tired and needed
sleep) and while my lovely (if not slightly evil) girlfriend slept beside me, I
lay and stared at the ceiling till around 03:00 in the morning, not being able
to sleep what so ever (this is all from the guy who drinks other coffee before
he goes to bed, to help him relax and sleep)! So all in all I am very impressed
with the strength of the coffee, if I had to do a rating for strength it
would surely get top marks!
Strength - 5 out of 5 Beans
The
Bitterness of this coffee is one that surprised me. Boasting the world's
strongest coffee you would expect it to be very bitter, but surprisingly it is
not. If I had to compare it to a previous coffee I would say that the Costa
coffee I reviewed is far more bitter than this. The coffee is fairly
smooth and doesn't hit the taste buds hard, its surprisingly deceptive in
nature. The only downfall is after your finished it leaves your tongue and the
inside of your mouth slightly dry and rough, but nothing a glass of water or
juice wouldn't fix.
The
Richness is slightly lacklustre, it is smooth to drink even though it is so strong. But
the actual taste of the coffee once you take a sip is just lacking in more variety.
You take a sip and expect your mouth to be filled with explosive flavour, but
instead you get a single woody taste that doesn't contain much flavour (It's
the monotone version for taste). I am assuming that in its quest for great strength
it really lost a lot of its taste and variety, the quality's of a coffee that
really make it great, it can definitely knock your socks off but it will do it
with no pizzazz or flare.... ITS THE ONE PUNCH MAN OF COFFEE!
The Aroma
is strong as well, it has the ability to fill the room with the smell of
coffee, from the moment of pouring to the finish, the smell really lingers in
the air. Although it is by no means a sweet or alluring smell but more of an
asserting smell, a smell that makes you understand how strong it truly
is. It's a smell I love and is very nice and fulfilling to the senses but similar to the
Richness it's just lacking in more.
Well as
you can see from the reference above I have been watching and reading One Punch
Man, so I think it's only fitting to use him as a reference for the World's Strongest
Coffee. Let me introduce our judge today.... ONE BEAN MAN!
Bitterness - 3 out of 5 Beans
Richness - 2 out of 5 Beans
Aroma - 3 out of 5 Beans
