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.

Oh holy moly this coffee is genuinely good and I think I might believe in ghosts and aliens and stuff now because excellent INSTANT coffee exists! ;) My husband has a beautiful Jura coffee maker after he fell for the one we had in Vegas in our hotel room when we were there for our 20th anniversary ten years ago. I love the coffee but making it is tricky because his coffee machine doesn’t like me very much. So I did a search for the same coffee he uses only in instant form and I actually found it!! Excellent coffee rarely has the instant version and this stuff is so good that I can barely tell that it’s not from the coffee maker! Thank you, Death Wish Coffee company for making something instant that I don’t have to be afraid of making and that tastes this delicious!

I buy Death Wish coffee sometimes - I love the Valhalla blend - and I usually buy the beans, K cups once in a while. This instant is great to take to work, but I find it very acidic and I can only drink one cup. If I have two, I feel nauseous, which is weird. I can drink a whole pot of the other versions and not experience acid problems. Not sure what it is about this instant variety. Great portability, though, and that one cup (with 12 oz of water added) is pretty good.

These packets of Death Wish instant coffee are strong. Make no mistake about it – these will get you going in the morning. I only need one cup and I’m good for the rest of the day. I’m not crazy about the taste because it is, understandably, quite strong and even after adding a little sugar and creamer, it’s still bitter, in my opinion. I know many find the taste to be smooth and satisfying, but I’m not a coffee connoisseur and I’ve never been crazy about the taste of coffee, in general. I’m just someone that finds high caffeinated coffee a good and more natural solution when I need a quick pick-me-up versus a Red Bull or Monster energy drink. I used to purchase these in my local Wallymart, but they don’t stock them anymore, so I was happy to find them on Amazon and they arrived on time and appropriately packaged. I don’t drink this on a daily basis because I need to watch my blood pressure and I don’t want my body to develop a tolerance, but when I’m really dragging, this does the trick. I also love this for the convenience of the instant packets. You can literally take these anywhere, so they’re prefect for traveling. I recently took a trip to South Korea and the jet lag after a 15-hour flight was brutal. These were just what I needed to get acclimated to the time change. I’m definitely a repeat customer.

I am giving this 5 stars for the following reasons: 1) I am a teacher and this product single-handily got me through my first period last year. 2) It jumped started me in a way that an expresso shot never did. 3) I’m pretty sure when I drank 2 cups of this in a single day, I started to taste sounds and hear colors. It was a trip. Be warned, it tastes like 10 expresso shots that have been soaked in gasoline and your gut is the flame that ignites the explosion.

Very good coffee robust and for once an instant coffee that has a great flavor

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.
