Your eyes have likely caught Death Wish Coffee commercials featuring an eye-catching black food truck sporting skull and crossbones graphics and their menacing hashtag #fueledbydeath. Death Wish claims they produce the world’s strongest coffee, making waves both online and in supermarkets across America and some specialty shops. You can purchase Death Wish products both directly from Death Wish’s website as well as through these distribution points.

But is caffeine healthy? Caffeine can be an addictive substance; too much can have adverse health consequences, but in moderation it can improve brain function and provide an energy boost; studies have linked caffeine with decreased risks of cardiovascular disease, depression and some cancers.

Death Wish Coffee contains more caffeine than an average cup of joe, according to USDA data. Just one serving has 472 milligrams – almost equaling two tall Starbucks dark roast coffees! But keep in mind, an eight ounce serving contains only 60 milligrams!

Death Wish contains such high caffeine concentrations that the FDA advises that adults restrict their caffeine consumption to 400 mg daily for adults. Even then, too much caffeine consumption poses serious health risks: for instance it may increase your risk of stroke and heart attack, cause headaches, insomnia and irritability as well as headaches and insomnia.

Death Wish coffee is much weaker than some other super-caffeinated brands such as Black Rifle and Bones Coffee, and they take pride in testing its products for caffeine content to ensure you’re getting an appropriate dosage with every serving. You can buy Death Wish either on Amazon or directly from Death Wish’s website; one, two and five pound bags are sold!
