Raven's Brew CoffeeHigh Caffeine Coffee Dark Roast Whole Bean – Deadman's Reach 2lb

You're probably like me and entered into the search bar "high caffeine coffee" and upon looking at all the options, you go for the ones with the most amount of high reviews, read a few, and order accordingly. I have my staples, but I like the old saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know", so I'm constantly trying out new brands. So you look at Raven's brew and think 'ehhhh...only 800 review? I dunno..."I'm on my 4th order at the time of this writing, giving me a pretty decent sample of quality reliability. I also am writing this review from the perspective of a consumer who has not only a obsessive love affair with coffee, but a high caffeine tolerance, for me to get that charged state, I typically have to consume twice as much as the average person.Boy am I glad I gave this a try. While I confess what I was looking for was something to turbo charge my mental processes for those sluggish days where as a self employed person, I -NEED- to get stuff done, and given my high caffeine tolerance this takes more than standard coffee. The copy on Deadman's Reach suggested I definitely found what I was looking for, but to blunt about my expectations, I figured that it'd likely not taste all that great. I was so very -very- wrong.Deadman's is a *great* tasting dark roast, but it does matter how you brew it. I possess an absurd number of ways to brew coffee and even espresso, but my favorite is pour over. Putting Deadman's through a ordinary coffee drip coffee maker or a Keurig (something I used to be a raving fan of) is like drinking fine wine from a sweaty cowboy boot. It becomes too acidic, loses a great deal of it's flavor depth, coming across more as char than coffee. But with a pour over or even a french press, the flavor is downright sultry, smooth and commanding of attention.Worth noting: I don't drink this every day, I have my other go-to brand for daily use, Deadman's is a combination of need for the higher octane and committing to knocking down important goals AFTER I've had a meditative 20 minutes of intimate savoring of my Deadmans. I'm completely serious, the flavor grabs me and makes the cup something I focus on and savor while pondering what I have to prioritize and absolutely get done. Then, after the last sip...its -ON-!!So does it give you a turbo boost? Let me put it this way, after a cup I get out my Batman cape and get busy. A 2nd cup? Tony Stark's got nothing on me. 3rd cup...sorry can't say, never had more than 2But the real magic of Deadmans (IMO) is how you get that kind of kick with such sultry, rich flavor. (again method matters).Value: Ok this isn't cheap, at $15 for 12 oz of beans it's totally understandable if you said to yourself "Pfft...too much." However this is a *definite* case of quality over quantity. You won't be drinking this all day, 1 cup for those days you're just dragging tail and you just know your usual morning caffeine fix is not going to cut it... 2 cups on your zombie days. So these 12 oz actually go further because you literally drink less of it, even if you're a religious coffee consumer like I am. This 12 oz bag lasts as long as my 2lb bags do, despite how great it tastes, I hit the Deadman's only 2-3x a week. Each occasion is an event for me, I don't drink this on auto-pilot, I savor the mug as I scheme to take over the world knowing when I'm at the bottom of the cup, it's go time.And as mentioned above, on my 4th bag over a 5 month period. Each has been outstanding in freshness and flavor, the bloom is almost a mushroom cloud. The beans I've bought roast to order aren't any fresher, seriously...this is true coffee snob quality. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

If you’re looking for bold rich flavorful coffee. This is the coffee for you. Best coffee in the states

My fiancé and I have tried a ton of coffee on the market, and not one measures up to this. Ravens Brew lives up to its description- it’s bold, it’s flavorful, it’s fresh. The beans 🫘 are dark in color, and leave the grinder smelling good. I enjoy it so much I did a subscription. Let’s not forget that majority of the time after we wake- we are not full of energy- with this Brew we’re spunky after the intake of high caffeine. Definitely, worth the value of the price!

Definitely great stuff for the price.

It's My favorite beer

I've ordered this 6 times, and as much as I love the coffee, it was only ever vacuum sealed the first time I ordered it. It's a shame to open each package disappointed instead of excited.

I discovered this coffee in a coffee shopIn Alaska. When I returned home to my I couldn’t shake how much better that coffee was and had to find it. Then of coarse after tracking down what it was I found it on Amazon. I settled on this as my favorite flavor and have turned severalOf my friends and family into it as well. I love all the packaging as well! #Lovemansreach

I really gets me going. I require a little more expresso than the average. This has worked for me.

I love ravens brew coffee, unusually only get to buy it when I go on a trip to Alaska, great to see it for sale in the uk, a little pricey compared to Alaska, but I needed my fix

Absolutely bought solely for the bag's artwork, didn't expect much from the coffee itself honestly. Being a coffee snob, I'd say it's decent at best, but absolutely overpriced. You could easily find a great single origin roast from a local micro roaster for a similar price with much more interesting bean...But yeah, the bag looks phenomenal, batch was fresh, still made good coffee! Not overly dark roast, not too oily... Worked best in my moka pot! Might try their medium roast if it's available at some point! :)

Excellent coffee. Very fresh out of the packaging (which by the way has some excellent artwork and feel to it). Pleasant aroma before and after being ground. This quickly became my new favourite.Flavour isn't in your face but strong enough to leave an impression. Can see myself having this for a long time and not get bored. Already great as is but add a tiny bit of half and half and it's as smooth as silk.Not the cheapest but the price is absolutely worth it, especially since you likely won't need multiple cups of this to get you going for the day. Perfect for getting some serious work done.

I bought this for my son who is a workaholic....I don't know if he tried it yet....because he is busy working. He told me he would let me know if his heart exploded but...havent heard anything so assuming the coffee isn't a problem...Would buy again cuz super fun to read packaging. Ill keep ya posted about the taste...when he is done WORKING!! Lol

It is a lot better than the three pecker billy goat piss I bought the other day. It is average coffee but with all the hype I was expecting a lot better. What I don’t understand is that it has a freshness date. It is good till 8 and a half months from now. I was always told that the fresher the better.
