Black Insomnia is a very strong coffee made using traditional barrel roasting techniques to create a smooth rich taste from a mix of carefully selected Arabica and Robusta beans. It is the perfect gift for dads who are early-starters, and workaholics!

Made by the Black Insomnia Coffee Company Limited, the coffee has been certified as having 1105mg of caffeine per 12oz (standard size) mug, equating to more than four times the strength of Starbucks or other typical high street brands.

The company sells ground coffee, beans, Nespresso pods and coffee bags in two roasts: the regular roast offering the high level of caffeine, but a very mild flavour. The dark roast offers the same high level, but a more intense flavour.  The coffee bags are a newly created innovation to allow freshly brewed coffee to be made one cup at a time using bags that filter the coffee over the mug or cup.  The Nespresso Pods are certified fully home compostable, being the first to gain this certification in the UK, and are therefore environmentally friendly.

They offer a permanent 15% off discount to all NHS workers to keep them alert and fuelled through the longest days and toughest nights!
