Dead Eye coffee also goes by the name “Dripped Eye coffee” (like one weird name wasn’t enough)! Dead Eye coffee is one of the extra powerful, heavily-caffeinated drinks that includes shots of espresso within the drip coffee. And Dead Eye coffee is the strongest in this category. It includes 3 shots of espresso in a cup of drip coffee. If you’re looking for an enormous wake-up call from your caffeine, the Dead Eye has got you covered on that.
The Dead Eye is another (stronger) variation of the Red Eye coffee. The name “Dead Eye” refers to the fact that you’d have to be nearly dead or crazy enough to drink this coffee. Note that in Starbucks, this drink is known as the “Green Eye”.
