Coffee addicts rejoice -- It's K-Cup review time. One reader emailed me recently that reading these posts is the difference between having a K-Cup and an OK Cup. If you recall each week I reviewed a new delicious K-Cup on an "official" coffee grading system that emphasizes four critical categories: (1) Aroma; (2) Strength; (3) Taste; (4) Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said K-Cup. I concluded each review with an Overall grade. Because I'm unreliable piece of shit, the posts may or may not be weekly anymore -- hence the change in the name of the post to K-Cup of the Moment.
Nonetheless I've been dying to review this one for you (pun). This week's K-Cup (or Death Cup) is from Death Wish Coffee Co. And it's called Death Wish.
Aroma: 10
When you pull open the bag containing the capsules of joy for the first time you get smacked with a wonderful aroma of a deep rich coffee roast. The aroma continues once brewed as well.
Strength: 10
The coffee proclaims to be the strongest coffee in the world. I've spoken to others that have had the coffee and they told me they experienced an added jolt to their day -- others felt that they were having extreme heart palpatations. I felt an increased jolt as well. I actually had two cups of Death Wish in one day. It was neat having an out of body experience.
Taste: 9
This is an extra bold coffee. It's called Death Wish. Not sure if that was an indication of boldness. Despite being extra bold, the coffee doesn't taste bitter at all -- and I drink my coffee black.
Marketing Tactics that Forced Me to Force My Office to Purchase Said K-Cup: 10
Since death is often a wish of many employees of a law office - this K-Cup is a natural fit for a law firm. From a packaging standpoint - this K-Cup really stands out. It comes in a bag and the cups are environmentally friendly -- the coffee spares the environment but not the drinker.
Overall: 9.5
I really enjoyed Death Wish. It's to die for (if I lost a reader or two here I understand). The coffee has a lot of the characteristics I look for in a great cup of joe. It's a little pricier than other K-Cups out on the market -- but worth a try.
