YOU MEAN A LOT TO US

As we approach the Thanksgiving season this year, we’ve been thinking a lot about what we’re thankful for at Death Wish Coffee.  During the strange and unprecedented times of 2020, we are of course incredibly thankful for the coffee industry we are a part of and being able to continue to provide the World’s Strongest Coffee ® to all of you.

You, yes you reading this right now, are really what we are most thankful for—not only during this holiday season, but all year round. Without you and your continued support of our coffee and our brand, we wouldn’t be able to continue doing what we love the most—providing you with a strong cup of coffee and fueling your passion.

So we wanted to celebrate by sharing some of the reviews that many of you have left us—this is what fuels our passion. From Amazon to Youtube, to reaching out to us right on the website, we see you, we hear you, and boy oh boy do we appreciate you. These are some of the funniest and some that make us smile the biggest. So thanks to you—all of you—for being, well, YOU!

From deathwishcoffee.com:

Rebecca, we couldn’t agree more that coffee (and our kettle) makes the perfect gift for any holiday. Christmas? Birthday? Labor Day? Arbor day? Give the gift of coffee.

Marc, we might have left you speechless, but we hear you loud and clear. Silence is golden, and we take this as a compliment to the highest degree.

Andrew, we are so happy you share your brew with your guests, but always remember to keep enough for yourself. As for your food groups, you hit the nail on the head—a meal of coffee, bacon, and bourbon sounds like heaven.

Screenshot of a few other reviews from deathwishcoffee.com

Ann, when I was in elementary school I was sick way too much, and I definitely saw my school nurse more than she probably would’ve liked to see me. So happy that we are keeping you caffeinated through the school day, and also the night shifts at the hospital. Maybe we can put “Nurse Approved” on our next bag of coffee? (Our lawyers say no, but I still think it’s a good idea!)

John, we can confirm that every Starfleet captain has to drink a lot of coffee to keep seeking out new worlds and new civilizations. Happy to help you boldly go where you might not have gone before. Next time I finish a cup I will yell KHAAAAAAAAAAAN in your honor.

Steve, that sounds like a very emotional day—or possibly an emotional experience if they happened all at once. We feel all the feelings every time we re-read your comment!

A couple of reviews on Death Wish Coffee on Amazon

Erick, what does purple sound like? What does a car horn smell like? We have so many questions, especially how you were able jog in space. Thank you for enjoying the brew and may the force be with you always.

Aaron, that is quite the tale of how you think the coffee was created, and while I can not confirm or deny anything you said, I do believe that we could all use a vacation in Fiji right about now. But on a serious note, anyone who might have a problem with their bag of beans arriving damaged or with a broken seal should contact us immediately and our customer service team will make sure we make it right.

A couple more reviews on Death Wish Coffee on Amazon

Marcelo, we are honored that you defer the thanks to us, but anyone who jumps off a skyscraper and saves their city deserves all the praise. We are just here to keep you caffeinated as you continue to do what others cannot. (Also, our lawyers have instructed me to say that we do not condone anyone drinking our coffee to become a superhero. I could never be Batman, but with enough coffee, I come pretty close.)

OxED, ceiling fans really do get dusty don’t they? Glad to hear that our coffee is helping you get things done around the house, and is there anything a swiss army knife can’t do? Also—liquid electricity sounds dangerous, but we kinda like it.

From YouTube:

These are some of our favorite videos you guys have left us over on YouTube, and sometimes we watch them on repeat to get our motivation brewing! Once again, thanks to all of you for taking our coffee to the next level and know that we will be thinking of every one of you this Thanksgiving season.

Perfect Little Beans

Chinmey Hill Coffee uses specialty-grade beans with zero primary defects (such as black beans or sour beans) and less than five secondary defects (such as broken beans). This is important because primary defects will greatly affect the taste of the coffee. Having zero defects allows the coffee to be the most optimal flavor.

Window for Optimal Flavor

Chimney Hill Coffee ships our coffee the same day it was roasted, so you will receive it before it enters the window of optimal flavor.  This means you’ll never miss the opportunity to enjoy the coffee’s peak flavor.

Coffee Ratings

Coffee undergoes many scoring processes by professionals who achieved their Q Grader certification. Coffee is first graded when it’s green. If there are defects the coffee is determined to be “not-specialty grade”. For those coffees that pass green grading, they are sample roasted and cupped. (Cupping is the official term for critically tasting and scoring coffees. The official cupping form is standard worldwide, and where the 100-point scoring system comes from.) A coffee’s dry fragrance, wet aroma, flavor, aftertaste, body, acidity, balance, and overall impression are taken into consideration while uniformity issues and defects, will lower the overall score.

Specialty Coffee

Specialty coffee, coined by Erna Knutsen in 1974, refers to a coffee that receives a quality grading score of 80 percent or higher. While “premium” or “gourmet” seem like they’re synonymous with “specialty,” they simply are marketing terms with no defined standards. Specialty coffees are grown in specific and ideal micro-climates, and have distinctive and unique flavor profiles, with little to no defects.

Third-Wave Coffee

We’re currently in the third wave of coffee. The first wave of American coffee put pre-ground, vacuum-sealed cans in kitchens across America. The second wave started with the late ‘60s introduction of Peet’s coffee (by Alfred Peet) through the proliferation of Starbucks. The third wave of coffee focuses on origin transparency, nuanced flavors, and artisan roasting. The term “third wave” is synonymous with specialty coffee.
