Meth Coffee: Super-Caffeinated Coffee
A new coffee company has launched in San Francisco with a “super-caffeinated” blend of beans (99.99% Arabica – certified organic). They have also added Yerba Mate to the mix.
According to the site:
METH COFFEE may promote feelings of mania, zania, euthanasia, fantasia, and all manner of paranoia. DO NOT DRINK ALONE.
METH COFFEE SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED BY minors, bilious baby handlers, hazelnut-flavor whores, swill consumers, anger management seminar attendees, road ragers, or cup-cradling hand warmers unable to handle upward shifts in speed and mobility.
Meth coffee can be shipped (whole beans or a specified grind) anywhere in the US within 48 hours.
Caffeine levels are unknown. Yerba Mate tends to have 0.7 to 2% caffeine content while a coffee bean has 1-2.5%. With a combination of both, Meth Coffee must be a seriously strong brew.

Yes… in terms of caffeine – it will be more (although the fact that there is no Robusta in the blend suggests otherwise).
As to the strength of the brew – you would presume there would be less coffee.
If you haven’t tried yerba mate before, it has a slightly different “buzz” than regular coffee. A strong cup of mate gives me a body high, as opposed to the head trip of coffee. After I heard of Meth I tried mixing the two on my own – and brothers, it was a STRONG CUP OF JO!!! 
HOLY CRAP! I just watched the commercial on their site! Messed up! I hope that’s never aired on tv…and if it already has, how long it will take for the company to get sued.
Dr Nuke… I just watched that… Aye carumba… At first it reminded me of a busy day at work… but the needle and rectal gizmo was just a bit much.
As to the strength of the brew, if you added .7% yerba mate to the weaker concentration coffee, you would get less caffeine overall. But if the coffee you usually drink is 2%, and they mix 2% yerba mate with 2.5% coffee, the blend will be more caffeinated than what you usually drink, overall. The taste may be affected by the addition of the yerba mate. I have a shipment of the brew on the way, will post again regarding flavor.
funny movie!
and interesting idea with dusted coffee beans, i would probably try it if they sold it at the supermarket
With a combination of both, it will only average out the strength of the brew, not strengthen.
