Death Wish Coffee Organic Dark Roast Ground Coffee — 16 oz, Fair Trade & High‑Caffeine

This ground coffee from Death Wish blends naturally higher-caffeine robusta with smooth arabica beans to deliver a heavy-bodied, low-acidity dark roast made for people who want a strong, flavorful daily brew. Certified Organic and Fair Trade, the 16-ounce bag is pre-ground for convenience and designed to produce a full-flavored cup with cocoa aroma and subtle cherry undertones.

What does this dark roast taste like and how intense is it?

The roast leans into classic dark-roast traits: prominent chocolate character, a rounded heaviness on the tongue, and restrained acidity. The addition of robusta increases caffeine and adds backbone without making the profile overly bitter.

• Flavor highlights: baker's chocolate and light cherry notes.
• Body: heavy and smooth for a satisfying mouthfeel.
• Acidity: low, making it easier on the stomach.
• Caffeine: higher-than-average due to robusta content.

How should I brew this ground coffee to get the best cup?

This coffee is pre-ground for flexibility: it works well in drip machines, pour-over cones, or French press when adjusted for grind size and brew time. Use a slightly coarser setting and longer steep for French press; stick to medium-fine for automatic drip brewers.

• Drip coffee maker: 1–2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water.
• French press: coarse grind, steep 4–5 minutes for fuller body.
• Pour-over: medium-fine grind, pour slowly for balanced extraction.
• Adjust dose up slightly for a stronger, bolder cup.

What certifications and sourcing practices does it have?

• USDA Organic: no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers used in production.
• Fair Trade certified: supports fair wages and safer working conditions.
• Blend composition: arabica for smoothness, robusta for strength.
• Roast style: dark roast to emphasize roasted, chocolaty notes.

How long will a 16 oz bag stay fresh and how should I store it?

A 16-ounce bag is large enough for daily drinkers but will stay best if used within a few weeks of opening. Store in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to preserve aroma and flavor; avoid the fridge or freezer for daily-use bags to prevent condensation.

• Use within 2–4 weeks after opening for peak freshness.
• Keep in an opaque, airtight container away from heat and light.
• For long-term storage, vacuum-sealed freezing is possible, but avoid repeated thawing.

Who this is for: This ground 16 oz bag is aimed at coffee drinkers who want a bold, dark-roast cup with elevated caffeine and ethically sourced credentials. Ideal for busy mornings, shift workers, or anyone who prefers a heavy-bodied, low-acidity brew without sacrificing flavor clarity. It’s convenient for home use in automatic brewers and manual methods where a rich, robust cup is desired.
