![]() ![]() Laboratory test results (using the High Performance Liquid Chromatography method) have found that Black Insomnia contains 57.5mg of caffeine per fluid ounce, which is just over 6% more caffeine than its closest US competitor’s product (as well as a similar amount of caffeine to many much-used energy drinks minus all the sugars and additives). Comprising sweet and savoury notes of chocolate, caramel and hazelnut, the dynamic South and Central American and African fusion is roasted to Black Insomnia-perfection presenting java-lovers with great-tasting coffee comprising the hardest caffeine kick they’ve ever experienced. Proudly roasted in Cape Town by one of the world’s foremost and 6th best – according to the 2012 World Roasting Challenge – coffee roasters, Gerald Charles (affectionately known in the java community at Dr G and founder of Rock and Roller Coffee Culture), Black Insomnia is made from a unique blend of Ugandan, Guatemalan and Brazilian beans. “We say ‘the strongest coffee in the world’ and everyone thinks that it’s going to be very bitter, but that’s not the case at all.” And this, I can testify to. “The caffeine kick is surprising because we’ve always balanced the strength of the coffee to the flavour”, says Sean. ![]() So, he decided to create his own unique, proudly Capetonian (super) caffeine-infused and “kick-ass” tasting cup of Joe. I looked around to find that special brew, but could not find anything that could do that while tasting really good and smooth.”Īt this stage, the title of ‘world’s strongest coffee’ was held by an American java-company and while it then may have had the highest level of caffeine (per fluid ounce) in the world, according to Sean, it lacked flavour. “I felt that there was a something missing in my coffee – that ‘kick’ that makes you want to jump up and take on the world. “I thought to myself: Why do you drink coffee? For that caffeine kick”, elaborates Sean. After retiring from the corporate life at the end of 2015, Sean decided to further pursue his love for the caffeinated warm beverage seeking to offer something a little different to the Mother City coffee culture realm. Sacrificing nothing in the process, neither its delicious, bold flavour nor caffeine content, Sean endeavoured to produce the best tasting coffee known to mankind comprising the highest caffeine level on the planet.Īnd so, he did: Black Insomnia Coffee Company – ‘the world’s strongest coffee’.īusinessman by trade and coffee-holic by nature Sean knows a thing or two not only about starting a company, but also the magical java-bean. Ultimately, Sean wished to reboot the Cape Town coffee industry by brewing something far stronger and darker, with an incontestable edge, than any of its global predecessors. Full-bodied and luxuriously silky with a serious and undeniable caffeine kick (more than any other brew on the planet), the local java brand’s cup of Joe sits an unrivalled cut above the rest not only in the Mother City, but also the world.Īnd that’s exactly what Black Insomnia Coffee Company’s founder, Sean Kristafor aimed to create the world’s strongest coffee minus the stereotypical scorched savours and undelivered java-frills. Sumptuous yet comforting and completely otherworldly, my cup of Black Insomnia is all that I want it to be – and so much more. (Perhaps this is what you’re thinking too.) But, as I take my first Black Insomnia sip breathing in its rich and naturally-sweet fragrance, hints of syrupy caramel and roasted nuts begin to dance across my taste buds and I immediately realise, this is most definitely not the case. When I first heard ‘world’s strongest coffee’, I couldn’t help but think that the java flavour-palate would be bitter and burnt, possibly even a little sour, lacking depth and the much-loved aromatic allure. This is the strongest coffee in the world… Tentatively, I take a sip. “The ‘World’s Strongest Coffee’,” I think to myself looking down at the beautifully designed – almost too pretty to drink – latte art leaf expertly created in the milk froth of my Black Insomnia Coffee Company’s cappuccino. One cup of Black Insomnia Coffee Company’s brew boasts the highest level of caffeine in Cape Town, and the globe. The World’s Strongest Coffee Is Proudly Capetonian ![]()
