Death Wish Coffee

Sticking somewhat with the Halloween theme, I attended New York Comic-Con the first weekend of October. One of the panels I sat in on was titled, “Comics Creators Consuming Coffee: Where Food & Comics Collide” where panelists chatted about how culinary arts and which foods inspire their craft.

Not surprisingly, much discussion was had about pizza, sushi, and of course to no one’s surprise, coffee (hence, the word being featured in the panel’s title)!

The panel was sponsored by Death Wish Coffee, which boasts itself as the world’s strongest coffee. Their packaging warns that their coffee is “intense and may result in sleepless nights.”

As soon as attendees entered the panel, a free sample was provided in a small, tasting cup. The coffee definitely smelled great. Nothing quite equals the smell of strong, fresh-brewed coffee. Unfortunately, no cream or sugar was available so you had to drink the coffee straight black. So it was basically a “shot” of coffee.

Not sure if it was the “strongest” coffee I ever tasted, but since the panel was held at 4:15 p.m. (and after a day full of events at the Con), it did provide the jolt of energy I needed to get through the rest of the afternoon and evening.

What was really nice, was that as you left the panel, you were able to take a free Death Wish Coffee sample bag!

 

 

Swag!!!
