minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

October is finally here, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This is our month to gear up for all things spooky and we only have 31 days to do so, people, so let’s make each day count. We have some amazing things releasing especially for this month that you are going to want to snatch up before they’re gone. 

This year’s Halloween mug is limited to a total of 4,000 and is none other than the nefarious Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde design. This double-sided mug is the first of its kind for Death Wish Coffee and Deneen Pottery. The 15+ ounce tankard is embodied with purple glaze backfill on one side and green backfill on the other. The choice to be more like Jekyll or Hyde is all yours, friend (or fiend?). 

No matter which side you choose, you’re going to be feeling magical with this mug. 

Also, there is a golden ticket option available for this mug so stay tuned for more info about that. Lucky winners will unlock real magic on Golden Ticket Day with this randomly packed version of the specialty glazed Jekyll and Hyde mug from The World’s Strongest Coffee company. 

You may be asking “Will coffee make me a better person today?” We don’t have all the answers to life’s biggest questions, so maybe our zip up Ouija hoodie can help guide you to the answers that you seek. When the spirits are on your side, you simply can’t go wrong. 

Who doesn’t like candy during the season of the witch? Make no bones about it, our chocolate maker, Ethereal Confections, made a skeleton chocolate mold that will come in a coffin box! You’re literally going to be eating skeleton chocolate. Dig in, everyone!

The nights are going to get cool, so stay warm wherever your travels take you this October with our giant big blanket. This heather gray sweatshirt blanket is wrapped up with the world’s strongest coffee and our logo included and is perfect for trick or treating, staying warm on the football field or your big comfy couch. At home. Away from people. 

There is always something brewing at Death Wish Coffee Company, so follow us on social media, invite us into your inbox, and stay in the know on the Fueled By Death Show (every Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern LIVE on Facebook, Twitch and YouTube).

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.
