In 2012, Founder Mike Brown started Death Wish Coffee Co. in a small coffee shop in Saratoga Springs, NY, in response to his groggy, morning customers' requests for coffee that was both strong & delicious.

Death Wish Coffee Co. is committed to sustainability throughout their products; their processes are USDA certified and they strive for the best tasting and highest quality organic and fair trade beans in every bag.

Death Wish was the official coffee sponsor of New York Comic Con, sponsored Nascar Driver Ty Dillon and has had the opportunity to support amazing charities like the Special Olympics with their products.
