Good coffee, but not my favorite.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2024

It's good coffee, but not my favorite. The flavor doesn't seem full bodied and smooth. I drink it black 4 table spoons to a 8 ounce mug, so it's not too weak. The package says hints of cherry and chocolate, but I haven't picked up on the flavors. I don't think this coffee is worth the price point for the volume you receive, but will say it is still good coffee. Honestly I really liked Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC.'s Dark Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere coffee better and intend to purchase that again. I'm overall glad I tried this coffee as I was excited when I saw hints of cherry on the package, but just didn't taste it in the coffee, which was a disappointment for me.

Great Start to the Morning.

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016

Flavor Name: Dark RoastSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

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.

BEST ORGANIC COFFEE EVER!

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024

Flavor Name: CocoaSize: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This espresso has some zing! I use it to make cold brew coffee and I love the taste!! It's hard to find fair trade and organic coffee, let alone one that tastes great as cold brew! Every time I grind the beans, my daughter says "they should make a candle that smells like that". The taste is very pure and I love that it's not processed with chemicals. Will be a customer for life.

Bold and Intense Flavor for Espresso Lovers

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2023

Flavor Name: CocoaSize: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I recently tried Death Wish Whole Bean Coffee in their Espresso roast, and I must say it delivers a bold and intense flavor that is perfect for espresso enthusiasts. Here's why I believe it deserves a four-star rating:

1. Rich and Robust Taste: The Death Wish Espresso roast lives up to its promise of providing a strong and powerful flavor profile. The coffee delivers a rich, dark, and full-bodied taste with hints of chocolate and a pleasant bitterness. It packs a punch that is sure to satisfy those who prefer a strong cup of espresso.

2. High Caffeine Content: As the name suggests, Death Wish Coffee is known for its high caffeine content, and the Espresso roast is no exception. If you're looking for a coffee that will give you a strong caffeine kick to jumpstart your mornings or keep you energized throughout the day, this coffee delivers. It's perfect for those who need an extra jolt of energy.

3. Freshly Roasted and Whole Beans: Death Wish takes pride in their commitment to providing freshly roasted coffee beans. The whole bean format allows you to grind the coffee just before brewing, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor retention. The aroma that fills the room when you grind these beans is truly delightful.

4. Versatile Brewing Options: While Death Wish Espresso roast is specifically marketed for espresso, it can also be used in other brewing methods such as French press or drip coffee. This versatility allows you to enjoy its bold flavor in various ways, making it a great choice for coffee lovers who appreciate flexibility.

However, there are a couple of considerations to keep in mind:

1. Strong Bitterness: The bold flavor profile of Death Wish Espresso roast comes with a significant level of bitterness. While this may be appealing to some, others who prefer a smoother or milder taste in their espresso might find it overpowering.

2. Limited Complexity: While the coffee offers a robust and intense flavor, it lacks some of the nuanced complexities that can be found in other specialty coffee options. If you enjoy exploring a wide range of flavors and undertones in your espresso, you may find the Death Wish Espresso roast somewhat one-dimensional.

In conclusion, Death Wish Whole Bean Coffee in the Espresso roast is a great choice for those who crave a strong and intense cup of espresso. Its rich flavor, high caffeine content, and freshness make it a reliable option for those seeking a bold coffee experience. Just be aware that it may be too bitter for some palates, and it lacks the complexity found in other specialty coffee offerings. If you appreciate a no-nonsense, powerful espresso, this coffee is worth a try.

Best coffee ever

Flavor Name: Medium RoastSize: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

As a person that fantasizes about drinking coffee, and has done a lot of trial and tribulations, any death wish is the best wish. When it comes to coffee, I drink it black. This not only has the rich flavor that I’m looking for, but it also has a super pleasant smell. A little goes a long way with death wish. And when you smell the fresh beans, that you grounded up, it’s like you’re in heaven. No coffee comes close. Also they have some really cool items like their death wish coffee beans. And they have amazing mugs that have beautiful designs. The expresso version that they have is even more legendary.

I love this coffee. Normally, I do pour overs and switch between the dark roast and medium. I think both are great and have a good amount of caffeine.
