Caffeine is how many of us wake up each morning. A nice cup of coffee helps wake up the brain and get the body moving. Of course, there are coffee brands on the market that offer more caffeine than others. One of those was Stipe Miocic Extra Strength, an extra-caffeinated coffee that used to be part of Fire Department Coffee’s offerings. Advertised as having 2xs the caffeine as regular blends, Stipe Miocic packed a real punch, which makes sense, as it was named after a heavyweight champion wrestler! Although Stipe Miocic Extra Strength Coffee is no longer available, you can now purchase a similar bag of beans called Jobtown Extra Strength from Fire Department Coffee.
Just how much caffeine should you expect? In a 12-ounce cup of Stipe Miocic Extra Strength (or Jobtown), you’d find 500 mg of caffeine. That is quite a bit, especially if you aren’t a caffeine enthusiast. Let’s take a deeper look at this coffee, the amount of caffeine inside, and whether it’s safe for you to drink.
Stipe Miocic Extra Strength was created by Fire Department Coffee and is named after 5x heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic, who was also a firefighter. Fire Department Coffee itself was founded by veterans and led by firefighters. This company began as a way to support first responders. The company makes charitable donations to first responders and donates 10% of the company’s proceeds to these charities.
Stipe Miocic was once Fire Department Coffee’s flagship product, though it has been discontinued. These days, you can purchase other beans from their lineup, like the Jobtown Extra Strength coffee pictured above. What makes it popular? They offer 2x the caffeine of regular coffee to accommodate those who need more caffeine to make it through their day. Like many other coffees on the market, these beans are available in both whole beans and ground options. Due to the added caffeine and bold taste, many caffeine lovers find this coffee a popular choice.
If you’re curious about the taste of Stipe Miocic Extra Strength, you aren’t alone. According to fans of this coffee, the taste was bold and the aroma was pleasant. Made from 100% Arabica beans, you would find this coffee is an intense dark roast that is smooth and has no aftertaste. The intense flavor had dark chocolate hints and a smoky finish.
Now that you know a bit more about Stipe Miocic Extra Strength, let’s talk about the amount of caffeine found in your cup. As we previously mentioned, a 12-ounce cup of Stipe Miocic features 500 mg of caffeine. While this may sound like a lot in comparison to the estimated 95 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce cup of regular coffee, it isn’t as bad as some you’ll find on the market.
Let’s see how Stipe Miocic Extra Strength stacks up against other coffees on the market with additional caffeine content.
| Biohazard Coffee | 928 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce cup |
| Chameleon Cold Brew Coffee | 520 mg of caffeine per 8-ounce cup |
| Stipe Miocic Extra Strength | 500 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce cup |
| Killer Coffee | 430 mg of caffeine per 8.46 – ounce cup |
| GymBrew Coffee | 333 mg of caffeine per 12-ounce cup |
Like with many things on the market that we consume, whether you’ll have issues with the 500 mg of caffeine in a 12-ounce cup of Stipe Miocic Extra Strength is determined by your body. Yes, the amount inside is considered high. This is especially true since the FDA recommends that a healthy adult drink no more than 400 mg of caffeine per day.
If you enjoy caffeine, you may easily consume more than 400 mg per day with no issues. The big question is why? The answer is simple. Everyone’s body is different. This means people react to caffeine differently. Someone who drinks coffee or energy drinks throughout their day may not react to the high amounts of caffeine in Stipe Miocic Extra Strength.
However, if you’re new to the coffee world or caffeine in general, you should proceed with caution as you could experience negative effects such as these:
- Insomnia
- Increased heart rate
- Anxiousness
- Jitteriness
- Headache
- Upset stomach
- Nausea
Final Thoughts

Fire Department Coffee’s current offering, Jobtown Extra Strength, offers a similar amount of caffeine. For caffeine lovers, this amount can provide them with a nice pick-me-up throughout the day. For those new to caffeine or high caffeine amounts, this amount could be a bit too much. The key to any highly caffeinated beverage is to pay attention to your body. If you notice negative effects from drinking this coffee, back away. If not, then enjoy the bold, enjoyable flavor.
