I was an energy drink and caffeine fiend. Drinking two Bangs a day, then weened myself off on three Monster Ultras a day and then decided I was wasting too much money on a bad addiction. I’ve always loved coffee but these were much more convenient, tasted good and were great during the hot summer days. However, I always felt better with coffee, always got more of a sharpness from it too, despite all the additional vitamins, and energizing additives in the drinks. Black Rifle Coffee Company has been my usual go to, especially their Fit Blend but I decided to try this after searching around for a coffee with something “extra” to it. Once I saw this stuff and read up on it, I knew I had to order it.
Once I got the coffee, I gave it the smell test and it was rich and full aroma without being anything over-powering. I put the coffee in my new French press and set my kettle to 190 degrees. After pressing, I added a splash of whole milk (after trying it by itself) and the brewed smell was far better than a lot of store bought coffee I’ve tried, even some of the BRCC blends too. The flavor is ultra-smooth and not too heavy. I did three table spoons for about 22~24 oz of coffee and it seemed perfect (may need less for you). The feeling is unlike any coffee I’ve had before. There were no jitters or shakes or anything, just smooth, sharp, clear-headed energy but at the same time I felt like I was oddly relaxed. It’s hard to explain but you feel awakened in a new way. It’s not just an anxious, twitchy, mind-racing alertness, it’s different and hard to describe. You can tell this has more going on that just the bean itself. My ability to focus and how sharp I felt was far superior to even the best energy drink I’ve had. You feel ready to go and a smooth, refreshed feeling with a go-get-em readiness. Whether you’re going to the gym, heading to class or work, this will replace everything you’re taking currently to give yourself that needed boost, this stuff is the real deal and is far superior to the majority of coffee out there too.
Only downside is that it is expensive but it’s far cheaper than buying multiple energy drinks a day and is far better for you down the road too. I feel happier and less irritable being finished with those and loyal to this product. It may be more easy to justify since you could potentially save more money if you’re also obsessed with additional supplements for focus/mood boosting/mild relaxation. Your mind will feel much clearer and boosted, plus you’ll be full of that good ol’ caffeine you know and love, along with all the additional nootropics and the essential parts of the bean that make the caffeine hit differently from the energy drinks. Do yourself a favor, get this stuff and stop buying your store brand and instant coffee, Folgers, Starbucks, Monster, Reign and Bang. You owe your mind and your body something that will be far more beneficial and nourishing.
