If you’re looking for an Espresso Roast that’ll give you an extra kick, you’re going to want to check out Death Wish Coffee Co.

For Christmas this year, Josh bought me an espresso machine. I was so excited because I’ve wanted one for a while, but never treated myself to one. So when I opened it up, I instantly wondered what the best type of espresso I could get to make at home.

I’ve tried a few different kinds… but Death Wish’s espresso roast is my absolute favorite.

To be honest, I love the name of the company and the logo is a skull and cross bones. It feels like a bad ass brand and it automatically brings that with their marketing and packaging. When I was in college, I got a secret tattoo that I hid from my parents that’s a skull. Instantly, their brand spoke to my once (it’s still in there somewhere, right?) bad ass soul. Their website constantly makes me smile with their wording, but what completely won me over was actually tasting their brews.

Death Wish Coffee Espresso Blend is a dark roast coffee that is made with a blend of Arabica and Robusta beans. The coffee is roasted to a deep, dark perfection with rich notes of cocoa, caramelized sugar and cherries. The result is a rich, intense cup of coffee that is perfect for espresso drinks.

Here are some reasons why Death Wish Coffee Espresso Blend it’s so good:

It is a BOLD coffee with a high caffeine content.
It is a flavorful coffee with notes of cocoa, caramelized sugar, and cherries.
It is a versatile coffee that can be used in a variety of brewing methods, including espresso, drip coffee, and French press.
It gives me a ton of energy.

So far, I’ve made some fun coffee recipes with it for St. Patrick’s Day, like a delicious Lucky Charms cereal milk coffee. You need to try using cereal milk as creamer… so good! I also use it for my daily caramel macchiato. Death Wish‘s blend gives me a bigger boost then going to get my normal order any where else.

Personally, I love the taste, the overall vibe of the brand (you have to check out their socials), and how they have a subscription service so I’m never out of my favorite coffee. Death Wish Coffee Co says their coffee slaps back and I’d have to agree.

Although I’ve been obsessed with making my espresso in the morning because of my fabulous new machine, I’m totally wanting to try their new brew: Dark Spirits. It’s a mint chocolate whiskey brew that ( can only imagine starts the morning off perfectly. I have to get it soon so I can try it out in different cocktails too.

I’ll get back to you when I eventually try it out!

No matter what your go to brew is in the morning, you can find it at Death Wish Coffee Co. Here’s their current blends you’re gonna need:

One of my favorite parts about fall is a good Pumpkin Spice Latte. Not only does it warm me up, it tastes delicious too. Since we don’t live super close to a Starbucks, I love making my own DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte.

In this blog post, I’ve decided to show you all my two go to options. One’s more a weekend at home recipe and the other is a quick morning recipe.

Both taste amazing!

The first recipe is the one I make on slow mornings. It makes the house smell amazing and really sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Here’s what you’ll need for it:

1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
2 tablespoons of sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup of strong coffee or espresso

For this Pumpkin Spice Latte DIY, you’ll need to warm the pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin spice mix, sugar, and salt in a pot. Keep stirring these ingredients together until they’re simmering. While this is happening, you can make your coffee or espresso.

Then, add the coffee into the pumpkin spice mix and mix both of them together until frothed. You can also use a blender to speed up this process.

After, pour into your favorite mug, add whipped cream and pumpkin spice, and then enjoy your tasty drink.

If you think that was simple. You’ll love this even more.

Our mornings are BUSY. Getting myself, Mila, and the dogs ready for the day gets chaotic. I feel like we’re constantly running around. When I finally get to school, I need a pick me up. So, before the craziness, I make sure to make this easy drink to get me through the day.

All you need for a quick DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte is Javy Coffee and Pumpkin Spice Latte Creamer (I use Starbucks!).

Javy Coffee is SO easy to use. It’s coffee concentrate where you fill your cup up with milk or water, then one to two teaspoons of Jacy too! It can made both hot and cold. I change it up depending on my mood (and how it feels outside). Afterwards, add your creamer and take it to go!

Both of these recipes are perfect for parents on calm and busy mornings.
