FDC Skull Crushing Espresso
(thelemmy.club)
Shit, this coffee is insane. Now, it costs 9 bucks and change in Walmart, and it tastes like 9 bucks and change coffee. I am however spoiled on coffee so this is a bit arrogant of me to claim.
That being said, that caffeine hits really hard, I could feel my pulse. I was up and really zoned in on work. I have not had a hit like this in years. If you need a cold start, this is a bear slap to the face in the middle of winter. Going to be drinking this for awhile.
They’re probably using Robusta beans. Robusta has much more caffeine, but tastes more bitter as a result compared to most other coffee which uses Arabica beans to avoid the bad taste thing. I think some other instant/flavored coffees use Robusta, but most use Arabica.
I don't I have ever tried robusta. :) And you're aboslutely right, I remember reading about robusta having more caffeine than Arabica beans.
