Death Wish Coffee Co.'s Light Roast Blend Death Wish Coffee / Death Wish Coffee

Known as the #1 organic coffee brand and #1 fair trade brand in the United States, Death Wish Coffee is known for its high-quality and delicious coffee blends. Until now, however, the brand has focused on medium roast and dark roast blends. The brand has now announced a light roast coffee has finally been added to their roasts, ideal for those who enjoy the lighter, fruity notes of a light roast coffee.

Made from a blend of three different coffee beans, the new Death Wish blend combines the sweet fruit notes of Columbian coffee, the bright acidity of Peruvian coffee, and the depth that Robusta beans provide. The combination of these coffee beans delivers a sweet, bright, and bold blend that is jam-packed with quality and flavor. Like all of Death Wish’s products, this coffee roast is Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Kosher. The coffee tastes bright, with notes of golden raisins and a sweet and bright aftertaste. The aroma features a hunt of plum and agave — both sweet and fruity.

For now, the Light Roast blend is available in 16 oz. ground coffee bags, available right from their website or on Amazon. The brand plans to hit Target shelves early in 2025 and also plans to offer roasts in single-serve K-cup pods and whole bean bags. As consumers shift toward choosing sustainably sourced coffee products, Death Wish remains a top brand in the industry. Each Death Wish product follows rigorous standards that protect the environment and livelihoods of coffee farmers.

North Spore launches its first-ever mushroom coffee — here’s why it matters
Should you switch to mushroom coffee?
Wine cap mushroom spore

Leading mushroom supplier North Spore has launched its first-ever mushroom coffee product. To create this delicious concoction, the team has paired antioxidant-rich coffee with 100% organic fruiting body extracts from five adaptogenic mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail. For coffee drinkers, this new mushroom coffee pairing offers all the benefits of caffeine, plus stress reduction, immunity support, mood enhancement, and mental clarity.
To learn more about this exciting new medium roast mushroom coffee release, I interviewed Matt McInnis, co-founder of North Spore. McInnis is passionate about the new launch, sharing that the North Spore team believes in the power of mushroom fruiting body extracts and thinks what it has to offer is a great alternative to many mushroom coffee products on the market right now. With a mission to offer mushroom coffee that's good for you and tastes good, too, here's what sparked the launch of North Spore's new mushroom coffee.

Coffee shops, it’s time to add decaf nitro cold brew to the menu
A missing piece at every coffee shop
Nitro cold brew

Nitro cold brew remains one of my all-around favorite coffee drinks to order. It's truly never disappointed me. Every sip is smooth, creamy (without any actual cream), and has the perfectly velvety texture. When I'm out running errands or traveling, I love treating myself to nitro cold brew because I don't make it at home. Unlike an iced americano or a regular cold brew, which I make at home, making nitro cold brew requires the infusion of tiny nitrogen bubbles.

As much as I love nitro cold brew, I've identified one major problem. The caffeine in nitro cold brew hits hard -- especially if you slurp it down as fast as I do. This drink's smooth and velvety nature makes it so easy to drink quickly. The average nitro cold brew contains between 200 and 300 mg per serving, more than enough to make you feel jittery. Even as a caffeine addict, I find the caffeine in a nitro cold brew to be a bit too much (especially if I've already had another coffee that day). After experiencing the caffeine jitters from nitro cold brew one too many times, I've wondered: Why isn't decaf nitro cold brew a thing? I've searched dozens of coffee shop menus and have never found decaf nitro cold brew on a menu.
