A long tie ago I bought a 100% robusta coffee and it was only good for stripping floor wax and cleaning those USN gray rubber diamond tread floor mats.

I haven't seen anywhere on their website that claims 100 percent robusta. Also I trust reddit when it's the confirmed account of at least someone at the company.

Was not Death Wish Site, is this one. http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffein ... ish-coffee believe what you want but the only way that I know of to obtain that high of a caffeine content is robusta. Three or 4 cups back to back should be close to lethal.

Hehe...I just chatted with them and was told that the percentages of robusta are a trade secret:)

from their ad;

"Ingredients in Death Wish Coffee
Robusta coffee beans

Sugar content: Contains no sugar.

Compare Sugar Content"

Hmmmmmmmm, Could this mean 100% since robusta is the only ingredient listed?

That was what I thought based on the caffeine content alone.

You can roast an Indian robusta as a SO, brew it up and not gag. Not going to be very delicious though. But it'll lack the burning tire.

It seems like it would be but they specifically told me it was a blend of arabica and robusta but that the percentages are a trade secret. Hehe I told them to straighten this out before
Next Sunday:)

The Caffeine Informer seems to think it is 100% robusta. At 691 mg for 1 12 oz cup brewed as a pourover at a rather high dose I suspect that it is as it was described by Caffeine Informer. DWC clams "Smooth, never bitter taste with subtle notes of cherry and chocolate." From the comments: "I make this with 1/2 cup of grounds with about 32 oz of water (a big boy sized cup), and it's perfect."

DWC recommended brewing method: "... 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee per 6 fl. oz. of water."

Great marketing, I think:

Read this on craigslist. I chuckled and shook my head, then decided to share:

"Starbucks Sirena Espresso Machine, made in Italy by a company called Saeco. This is the best machine on the market for making coffeeshop quality drinks from home"

I should see if he'll take my Quick Mill in a straight swap since it can't be the best machine on the market if he has the best!

Of course, I've also seen smartphones listed "like new" or "mint" that showed a cracked screen. Caveat emptor and all that jazz.
