Death Wish Coffee Instant Dark Roast Coffee Packets, Bold & Intense Blend of Arabica & Robusta Beans, USDA Organic, 8 Count

I love the convenience of this instant coffee. I have to go to work really early in the morning, and as a natural night owl, mornings are hard for me. I often don't have time to make coffee or pick up coffee on my way in, but I do have access to hot water once I'm at work. The 300 mg of caffeine in this coffee is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're sensitive to caffeine, I would probably recommend looking into a different instant coffee. I'm sure it could easily make a normal person jittery and anxious. However, as a person with untreated ADHD, I find this cup of coffee gives me the nicest calm I can ever expect in the morning. I'm awake, not grumpy, and chill. It's a wonderful way to start my day. The flavor is definitely strong and a bit bitter, but with enough creamer, it is more than palatable. I don't find I have to force this down like I've had to with other coffees in the past. It is definitely a dark roast coffee, but I find it to be smoother than other dark roast coffees I've had before. Overall, I'm grateful I discovered this coffee and find it to be a lifesaver for me at work. I know some people think it's expensive, but for less than $1.50 a cup, it's the going rate for Nespresso Vertuo pods, and far less expensive than going to Starbucks or Dunkin's.

For instant coffee, this is surprisingly good—rich, dark, and smooth without that harsh “instant” aftertaste. It dissolves quickly and makes a consistent cup every time. The caffeine kick is real, so a little goes a long way. Great for mornings or travel when you want strong coffee fast.

The Coffee That Actually Wakes the Dead This stuff is no joke. One packet and I went from half-asleep zombie to “let’s clean the whole house” energy. Rich flavor, super bold, and ZERO bitterness. Perfect for mornings in the RV or when you need a strong kick without brewing a whole pot. If you like dark, intense coffee, this is the one.

Overall not bad for instant coffee. Does have a bitter after taste. A bit overpriced for what it is.

Best instant coffee out there and excellent if you need an extra caffeine boost! The flavor tastes fresh brewed. I've purchased this coffee many times.

Death Wish Coffee lives up to its name—and then some. If you’re looking for a serious caffeine kick without sacrificing flavor, this is it. I’ve tried dozens of “strong” coffees, but none match the intensity, smoothness, and wake-up power of this blend. ⸻ ⚡ Why I Love It: • Caffeine that actually hits – One cup and I’m fully awake, alert, and locked in. No jitters, no crash—just clean, focused energy that lasts for hours. • Smooth, bold flavor – Despite the strength, there’s no bitter aftertaste. It’s rich, dark, and full-bodied, with subtle chocolate and cherry notes. • Organic & Fair Trade – I love knowing it’s made responsibly, with high-quality beans that are good for me and the planet. • Perfect for early risers, night owls, or anyone pulling long hours – Whether you’re a student, a busy parent, or grinding out deadlines, this coffee shows up.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this dark roast coffee - the rich flavor and potent kick of 300mg of caffeine make it a perfect way to start my day! I only use less than half a pack.

I have been drinking this stuff for a long time, but my latest delivery made me realize that I should finally submit a review. It has always felt slightly overpriced, but I appreciate the solid caffeine level, the fact that it is organic (especially since I drink it every day), and of course the speed and convenience of that first cup. Over time, though, I have really noticed how much the quality and flavor can vary. I am currently working through a batch of eight boxes, and every single packet has tasted extremely burnt, whether hot or cold. This is not the first time it has happened either. I am not going to waste them, but even though I am normally a black coffee drinker, I have had to cut these awful tasting packets with milk and sweetener just to get through them. My advice for the company, if they want to level up, would be to focus on consistency and maybe add two more packets to each box to make it feel like a better value. There are times when I order it and it is truly so good, so I do not know what is going on over there. And yes, I checked the best by date, and it was all well within the normal range. I just finished another awful cup, and I have to say my three stars are fairly generous. Anyway, I know they can make it correctly, because I have had it before. And the inconsistency is not something new, because they were uneven even early on. When this batch is finally gone, I may try something else. I just wish I could lock down a supply from the times when Deathwish gets it right, because I would not even think of switching if I could.

Its has a good taste but a bit on the expensive side

Very good coffee, ok taste but does feel like your drinking 3/4 espresso’s

Strong full of flavour and gives a perfect kick start to the morning

Decent coffee

I don’t know how people say this coffee is strong. It didn’t do nothing for me plus the taste was terrible. I would say the price and the quality were not comparable.
