Death Wish Coffee Organic Espresso Roast Ground Coffee 14 oz — High-Caffeine, Fair Trade Dark Espresso Blend

Death Wish Coffee Organic Espresso Roast is a dark, high-caffeine ground blend of Fair Trade arabica and robusta beans crafted for bold espresso-style flavor and full-bodied cups.

This 14-ounce bag contains USDA Organic, Certified Fair Trade ground coffee roasted to an espresso-dark profile that emphasizes intensity without excessive bitterness. The roast combines naturally higher-caffeine robusta with smooth arabica to produce a heavy-bodied brew with low acidity and layers of baker's chocolate, caramelized sugar, and black cherry notes. Ground for convenience, it removes the need for grinding equipment while remaining suitable for espresso machines, moka pots, French presses, and drip brewers when you’re seeking a concentrated, robust cup.

What taste and mouthfeel should I expect from this espresso roast?

You’ll notice a dense, full-bodied texture and a rich flavor that leans toward dark chocolate and sweet caramelized sugar, with subtle black cherry undertones. The roast profile keeps acidity low while delivering a syrupy mouthfeel reminiscent of cafe espresso.

• Flavor notes: baker's chocolate, caramelized sugar, black cherry
• Acidity: low for a smoother sip

How strong is the caffeine and how was it achieved?

This blend is intentionally high in caffeine by incorporating robusta beans with arabica. An approximate brewed concentration is ~170 mg of caffeine per 6 oz cup when prepared using 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.

• Caffeine approach: blend of robusta (higher caffeine) + arabica (smoothness)
• Brew guideline: 2.5 tbsp per 6 oz yields the quoted caffeine level
• Suitable for: those who want a strong kick without sacrificing flavor
