We had some samples of Maximum Charge and Brew Bags lab-tested for caffeine content. Science has confirmed that Maximum Charge packs a punch. We make coffee and lift weights, we're not scientists. So let's try and break this down simply: 80g of coffee brewed with 1000ml of water (the brewing ratio we recommend) contains 1690mg of caffeine in total. Or 169mg per 100ml of brewed liquid. So a tiny 250ml cup gives you over 400mg of caffeine. We're yet to find a stronger coffee in the UK.  The Brew Bags, brewed with 200ml of water provides 156mg of caffeine. That's nearly as much as 2 cans of ..read more

Hardwire A Positive Daily Mindset With These Ancient Philosophies Philosophy has a reputation of being dry, outlandish and is viewed as men in togas sat in circles 2000 years ago discussing meaningful insights of human existence. Popular psychology can be described as a bite sized ready meal for the mind. Truth is that both philosophy and popular psychology are great places to begin to look when discussing mental toughness and positive mindset. Philosophy is the ultimate self-help guide and mind training tool there is. Some of the wisdom these philosophers wrote about is incredible and defin ..read more

Coffee: The secret ingredient to your health   In the UK, it’s estimated that Britons drink around 95 million cups of coffee a day. We know the usual grind (no pun intended) of daily life puts most of these 95 million drinking decisions in a bind - sacrificing taste, flavour and health benefits for convenience. The result is that most of the time, we’re drinking coffee that is over-caffeinated, offers little to no health benefit and just doesn’t taste that great.   We wanted to change that at Cannonball by not only making products that are convenient (have you tried our coffee bags ..read more

To the untrained eye it can be confusing and even to the trained eye, we can mak ..read more

Where does that bag of super strong coffee in your kitchen cupboard from? Well, I'm about to take you behind the scenes at Cannonball..... When I started the company way back in 2018 I wanted to offer a truly premium, artisan product. I was anxious to avoid being yet another white label w**ker - sticking my labels on generic coffee roasted in the giant factory that produces most of the coffee in the UK. I considered roasting coffee in my garage. But soon realised this was not a scalable business.  Then, through a series of coincidences I ended up partnering with a local m ..read more
