As Trump supporters threaten to boycott Starbucks, Black Rifle Coffee Company (BRCC) is seizing the opportunity to win over coffee drinkers who support the president.

Soon after Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced plans to hire 10,000 refugees, in response to President Trump's executive order barring people from seven majority-Muslim countries and all refugees from entering the US, BRCC made a promise of its own.

The company, which sells coffee blends, monthly coffee club subscriptions, and java-centric apparel and gear, posted that it would hire 10,000 veterans, just as the pro-Trump movement to boycott Starbucks gained steam.

Great! Step one.

Now if we can just get a search engine, a browser, an OS, a cell phone made by conservatives...

Where can we get ahold of this Black Rifle Coffee Company’s products. If he’s a veteran and has a good product I’m on board to help put Starbucks and that charbroiled water they call coffee out of business.

Looked into this last week, DO NOT care for the Coffee club with auto monthly orders. They need to fix that.

Victory Coffee is an alternative, Vet owned as well. Saw them on Fox and Friends.

Never ordered BRCC coffee but it’s pretty pricy. Looks like it could be good stuff though.

Hope they are good. I mean I like the idea of flipping off Starbucks after its flipped off half of America, but patriotic sentiment isn’t enough without a good product.

Their shipping is expensive. I would like to have a franchise. Do they have them?

I like the name. I wish the logo had a guy strangling a hippie protester.

I would love to see these guys in our local grocery stores .. instead of Starbucks.

Check with Kroger in CA - and focus on San Diego (very pro-military county).

I would love to get a coffee when I grocery shop. A regular cup - with a stable lid (and a straw - if cold). The cups Starbucks use are very unstable and topple over very easily; just ask my laundry.

REAL populists and anti-globalists choose coffee shops that are locally-owned. Many of these—unlike Starbucks—also sell real food, made right on the premises.

Most of the coffee I drink, however, is at work or at home. So I buy whole-bean coffee roasted and sold by local companies. No mail order, and NO Starbucks!!!! It’s better coffee, too!

If you want mail order coffee, Black Rifle will of course be preferable to Starbucks! I hope that it is good coffee, however.

Last time I was at Starbucks, it was for an evening meeting. I asked for a black iced tea, sweet. I got black iced coffee. It was AWFUL.
