  • Jere Claunch Verified purchase ★★★★★

    Pretty strong.

    Strong, but not the strongest. Excellent taste though.

    Cant go wrong with this brand to keep you awake and functioning

    I love this brand. I started off using the ground coffee for my drip. I liked it so much, I decided to try the whole beans for my espresso. The coffee is strong and has great quality. The aroma is not like artisan coffee, but it is still a good value and tastes nice. I like it most for the boost of caffeine.

    Strong as advertised, flatter in flavor or character.

    I guess I'm a coffee addict: I needed something stronger than traditional beans, and this does the trick. Only reason I gave a 4/5 was based on flavor. I make my coffee pour over and I adjust my water to enhance flavor without improper contributions from tap water. Shock tastes decent, but is kind of flat in character.
