Black Insomnia Coffee is billed as being the world’s strongest coffee. They use beans that are grown especially for high caffeine content and “without any frills, nootropics or additives” and they do so, as the name suggests, to keep drinkers awake. It comes as whole beans or ground coffee and can be used in virtually any type of coffee machine or coffee maker. There are also coffee machine pods available, each of which contains the recommended 5g of ground coffee.
The company’s commitment to highly caffeinated coffee has led to a Black Insomnia Coffee caffeine content equivalent to more than 1,100 mg of caffeine in a 12oz serving.
How Much Caffeine Is In Black Insomnia Coffee?
The actual amount of caffeine in a cup of Black Insomnia will vary. It depends on the volume of beans or ground coffee used, the brewing method, and, of course, the size of the cup serving. Assuming that you use 5g of ground coffee to create the drink, make a 12oz serving, and using a home coffee machine, you will end up with 92mg of caffeine per oz, or 1,105mg per 12oz serving.
Black Insomnia Coffee is not suitable for people with caffeine tolerance and should only be drunk by those with a high tolerance level. The recommended safe amount of caffeine for a healthy adult is 400mg of caffeine per day, which means that a cup of Black Insomnia contains nearly three times the amount you are recommended to drink daily.
The company says that to achieve such high levels of caffeine, they start by carefully selecting the right beans: a combination of Arabica and Robusta beans. They do not add any nootropics, additives, or other ingredients. The beans are then roasted using a traditional barrel roaster, which helps preserve flavor while maintaining caffeine content.
The high levels of caffeine in the coffee means that they hit quickly, and they hit hard. When first trying the brand, coffee drinkers are advised to try a small amount and use less coffee, before increasing their amount, because there is a big difference between this and even the strongest coffee shop coffees.

The Beans
Black Insomnia contains a combination of Robusta and Arabica beans. Robusta are known for being high in caffeine but also having a strong, harsh, bitter flavor. Arabica beans are smooth and sweet and have some flavors of chocolate. They can even be quite sweet. Despite Black Insomnia’s insane caffeine level, it is said to have a smooth flavor, rather than a harsh one.
Conclusion
Black Insomnia Coffee is targeted at those that love their coffee strong and want a hit of caffeine that will keep them awake and buzzing for several hours. It should be noted that a 12oz serving of this coffee contains over 1,100mg of caffeine, which is two and a half times the daily recommended safe maximum of caffeine for a healthy adult. As with any coffee, pregnant women, children, and those with a caffeine sensitivity should steer well clear.
