Someone here posted about these: http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-Express-3-Cup-Stovetop-Espresso/dp/B0000CF3Q6 about a year ago.
It pretty much puts an entire pot of coffee into one coffee mug. If that hasn't caused my cardiac pump to vapor lock yet, nothing will.

I bought the Death Wish right after it came out. It's really good coffee, some of the best I've had. However I am skeptical of the "double the caffeine" claim. I kept expecting to get all hopped up, but felt no difference between it and the Jet Fuel I drink out of the Keurig at work. Same for several other people that I had try it. Everyone said it tasted good, but there was no wall climbing after drinking it.

ordered.  I'll report back. 

I have a couple people at work that are new to coffee so I'll slip them some and observe the results.  kinda like those old tasters choice commercials. That way we will have results without mine and (I assume) Ben's years of work building up a resistance to iocane powder caffeine.

Here at Death Wish Coffee we have found a coffee bean with close to 200% more caffeine than your typical coffee shop coffee

Wouldn't that be triple the caffeine?

Always entertaining. We have one girl at work that never drank coffee before, and somehow we talked her into trying some when we were at a training last year. This is pretty darn close to the result:   =D

I've heard rumors of an extra-select grade of Kopi Luwak that's passed through a hyper-caffenated Civet that's also on Ritalin.

No hard leads as of yet though.
I promise not to duck.

In 1867 and again in 1870, I bad occasion to visit the West India
Islands and Brazil. In common with most coffee topers, I had heard much
of the super-excellence ascribed to "West India coffee" and "Brazilian
coffee." I concluded to investigate, I had rooms at the Hotel d'Europe,
Para, North Brazil. There were six of us, English and American
boarders. Every morning, before we were out of our hammocks, a
barefooted, half naked Mina negress came around and served each of us
with a small cup of strong, black coffee and sugar ad libitum. There
was not enough of it for a drink; it was rather in the nature of a
medicine, and so intended--"To kill the biscos," they said. The coffee
was above criticism.

I went, in the dark of a tropical morning with Señor João, to the
coffee factory where they browned the berry and saw him buy a pound,
smoking hot, for which he paid twenty-five cents, or quite as much as
it would cost in New York. In ten minutes the coffee was at the hotel
and ground. This is the way they brewed it: A round-bottomed kettle was
sitting on the brick range, with a half gallon of boiling water in it.
Over the kettle a square piece of white flannel was suspended, caught
up at the corners like a dip net. In this the coffee was placed and a
small darky put in his time steadily with a soup ladle, dipping the
boiling water from the kettle and pouring it on the coffee. There was a
constant stream percolating through coffee and cloth, which, in the
course of half an hour, became almost black, and clear as brandy. This
was "Brazilian coffee." As the cups used were very small, and as none
but the Northerners drank more than one cup,
I found that the hotel did
not use over two quarts of coffee each morning. It struck me that a
pound of fresh Rio coffee berry ought to make a half gallon of rather
powerful coffee.

Bah. Organic? Color me unimpressed. I've probably urinated more caffeinated liquids.

Bear Grylls coffee?

Yes, it would ... if we could believe that an adman could actually do math.

They've "discovered" Rubusta coffee?
