Veteran-run coffee company wants to take on 'anti-American' Starbucks to 'make coffee great again'
Yahoo Finance ^

Posted on 02/07/2017 2:38:42 PM PST by Red in Blue PA

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.

I would love to switch to Black Rifle coffee but they are getting killed on social media with the reviews. It sounds like they are understaffed and overwhelmed with orders. In meantime I am completely switched over to Dunkin Donuts and I deleted my Starbucks app. Even though it still has $11 on it. Another coffee and it would trigger a reload.

Can anybody out there give a good review on Black Rifle coffee? Any outlets in Manhattan that I can check out?

Bought three different roasts from them a few days ago. With the shipping it got to be quite pricey but like to give them some business. Looks like a lot of folks are shopping since the orders will take two weeks to ship due to the high volume.

Ordered some of their CAF (don't ask). Delivered yesterday, first cup this morning. Damn, it was good! The box is painted to look like a little ammo can.

When you order you get a disclaimer that hey, we're a small roast-to-order company and it may take a few days, but in fact, it didn't. YMMV.

They’re sold out of everything other than a couple of mugs and shirts!

Effective marketing idea but obviously not thought out too well.

i looked at their website and I think it’s very niche and will have very limited appeal to serious coffee drinkers.

They sell nothing but blends, with zero information about what’s in the blend and no information as to level of acid or robustness of flavor, not to mention, the blend names are things like “F*ck Hipster”, “Gunship”, “AK47”.

A more serious website for coffee is http://www.coffeebeandirect.com, which is where I’ve been buying excellent coffee for years.

Not a big coffee drinker, but If they put out ball caps or T-shirts that partially fund veterans groups, I’m there.

I worked with a guy who drank that one and made it with an aero press. I thought it was very good.

the anazing thing is that Star*ucks has no flavor...

perfect for 38 year old unemployed pansie welfare recipients who live in their mamas’ basements

but for real Americans, most of us would like to be able to taste what we pay $5 for
