That doesn't sound safe, so I think I'd have to pass. As much as I love coffee I didn't love being addicted to the caffeine. I'm down to a few cups a week.

After what I just read about it I think I'll pass on it now.

It's probably no worse than kicking back a double Espresso, but I wouldn't try it because it would probably taste off from whatever process they use to add extra caffeine.

A regular cup of joe has about 50 to 80mg of caffeine. Which means this 'death wish' stuff only has about as much caffeine as one pill of vivarin. Big whoop.

Those would be accurate for a 1-1.5oz espresso. For an 8oz cup of drip coffee, it's more like 105-190mg, with arabica on the low end and robusta on the high end. And most Americans drink "cups" far larger than 8oz.

I have no use for any coffee that adds or subtracts anything. The coffee has to taste good - balanced, some natural sweetness, no carbon notes. I typically buy very good green coffee and roast my own.

Love my coffee brewed strong, leaded and black. But 200X the caffeine than in a normal cup of coffee might be a bit much...and probably not a habit that I'd want to get into for sure.

I might be tempted to take a couple of sips though.

It's not 200X the amount of caffeine - it's 200% the amount of regular coffee or 200% more than regular coffee, depending on which claim is accurate. This would mean two or three times as much as regular coffee.

I could drink it, but then I'd probably die. My body doesn't take too kindly to caffeine.
