How do you double the caffeine?
504621
They double the caffeine as it tells you on the bag to use TWO AND A HALF TABLESPOONS per 6 ounces. So a normal coffee cup would need FIVE TABLESPOONS. No wonder they can say its so strong, they tell you to use DOUBLE the coffee of other brands. I can get normal Folgers to taste murky and dark like this if I used DOUBLE the amount of coffee.

The answer to this is because Death Wish uses Robusta coffee beans... which are Arabica's less desirable coffee cousin. Robusta beans have a caffeine content much greater than Arabica, they're cheaper to produce and can be grown at lower altitudes, however they taste aweful and bitter; which is why they are typically used in instant coffee and espresso blends. Death Wish 'kind of' gets away with it by blending the Robusta with Arabica so it doesn't taste as bitter/ bad. I say 'kind of' because in my opinion it still tastes terrible. I think most people who are crazy about this stuff do not appreciate GOOD fresh roasted and location grown coffee and give in too much to the hype this brand throws out.

As a quick look at caffeine informer shows, "Consumers must also follow Death Wish Coffee's brewing instructions to arrive at the advertised caffeine content. They recommend using 2 1/2 tablespoons of finely ground coffee per 6 fl. oz. of water." By doing so you use quite a bit more grounds to brew your cup than you do with other brands. It gives each cup about 660mg of caffeine.

I wrote to Death Wish Coffee and asked them for their definition of "strongest coffee". Here is their response:Thanks for reaching out! By "Strong" we mean the caffeine content. We have recently had tests done on our coffee and their results have found that for every 6 oz cup, there are 59 mg of caffeine per fluid ounce. We appreciate the interest in our coffee, just let us know if you have any questions.

The Death Wish Coffee Company has a website where they explain this much better than I'm going to try to do, but, here goes--it has to do with the carefully selected organic beans and their special roasting process. I just know this- it wakes me up in the morning, with absolutely no jitters, which "regular" coffee gives me. Maybe because it's organic? I'm not an expert, but you should go to their website, and there are many articles about how they go about getting a higher caffeine level. If you can't find one for some reason, send them an email( they're a very small company) and I'm sure you'll get an answer.

Put in a little water first, then coffee and add the rest of your water. You can find complete instructions in some of the most helpful Amazon product reviews. Enjoy.

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso. They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

Terrific just added to the coffee grounds and brew away together. Experiment with the blend to make it the way you like it.

You now have three ounces in each container. Both seem to be about half full. Repeat for the fourth time and the fifth..noew you cande termen taht it only takes won more shot to have boofum full to da brim......

You can't! Do not waste your money on this machine. It makes a huge mess when the coffee was brewing. I returned it and would not waste my money on this garbage.

Hello, yes you can double the mixture or even triple it to make 2 and 3 times the amount of bubbles. Hope this answers your question, have a great day and enjoy all those bubbles!

I make a double shot cappuccino two or three times a day. I use approx. two tsps. per cappuccino, I also use 8.8 package of espresso. I would say approx. 43 per 8.8 package. I have a machine that uses capsules, cost too much for what I use. you save big time by using ground coffee.
