About Death Wish Coffee
Founded 2012 · US
Mike Brown started Death Wish as a small coffee shop in upstate New York and stumbled into a national brand when his "strongest coffee in the world" branding caught on. The company won Intuit's Small Business Big Game ad in 2016, getting a free Super Bowl 50 spot that pushed brand awareness past anything its budget could have bought. Sold the company to Sailwind Capital in 2021 but remains hands-on.

Notable for the schema.org audit
Long-time Shopify tenant with an unusually heavy reliance on direct-mail + subscription playbooks. The post-2021 stack rebuild by the new owners makes it an interesting before/after Schema + apps reference.

What this Schema grade reveals
C-grade signals meaningful structural gaps in Death Wish Coffee's storefront Schema. The most common pattern at this grade band is missing Product schema fields (offers price + currency + availability), conflicting Review schema from two apps (Loox + Judge.me both writing AggregateRating), or no BreadcrumbList — fixable in an hour of theme.liquid work.
Cross-check with the App Stack Detector to see which Schema-emitting apps are installed — most Schema problems on Plus tenants come from conflicting Review schema between Loox + Judge.me + the theme rather than missing apps.
