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...

What’s the difference between Valhalla Java and Death Wish Coffee? 

We posed one of the most important questions of our time on our social media pages — what is the difference between Valhalla Java and Death Wish Coffee? Our community did not disappoint. 

Mike Brown, owner of Death Wish Coffee Company, previously said both of them will give you a serious kick in the ass — but that’s where the similarities end. Death Wish Coffee uses the strongest combination of beans and the perfect roasting process to give you the world’s strongest coffee, despite being a dark roast. 

Valhalla Java, on the other hand, is a medium-dark three-roast blend, originating from the volcanic soils of Indonesia and nutrient-rich soils of Central and South America. But enough with the technical definitions — let’s get into how our community described each of them on Facebook and Twitter. 

“Death Wish is how you start the day. Valhalla is what keeps you from murdering coworkers throughout the day…” -Matthew W. 

Simply put, we really couldn’t agree more with this one. Coworkers should really just know not to talk to you before you’ve had AT LEAST one cup of coffee. Who tries to small talk before 8 a.m.? It’s Monday, Brenda. 

“Valhalla Java is the nectar of the gods. Regular Death Wish turns mere mortals into Gods. It’s all about where you’re at and where you wanna go.” -Mike Havoc

Remember in Hercules when he dives after Meg into that pool of death, emerges as a god, and punches Hades in the face? Yeah, that’s what drinking Death Wish is like. Drinking Valhalla Java is what Zeus does on the reg.

“Valhalla is a paradise of flavor. Death Wish is fuel before battle, while the Valhalla is the sweet victory drink after battle.” -John A. 

Drink Death Wish before your yearly review with your boss. Drink Valhalla Java after when your boss says you get a well-deserved raise. 

“Death Wish is morning Coffee. Valhalla is night-time coffee. It’s smoother and a little more laid back than Death Wish.” -Amie C. 

Valhalla Java is the night cap you never knew you needed. Make it a coffee cocktail and you’ll really be laid back.

Sometimes we need a good kick in the ass to get us ready for the day — it just depends on how much of a kick you need to actually get out of bed. 
 

Yeah, we don’t recommend throwing a battle axe — unless it’s metaphorically, of course. No matter what you need to get done for the day, both Death Wish and Valhalla Java will help get you there.

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.
