Black Rifle Coffee: I Was Wrong and I'm Owning It

The fact that he posted a 5 minute video is an agenda unto itself.

We carry Peet's and Caribou coffee as part of our distribution line. Both are excellent coffee's I'm drinking a cup of Peet's Big Bang right now brewed from a K Cup. Caribou is excellent as well but has a more limited distribution so you may not have it in you're area but it is enormously popular around here with more coffee shops scattered about than Starbucks.

Fire Dept Coffee.

Peet's Coffee and Cameron's Coffee are my go-to "mid tier" coffee roasters, which I use most of the time, when I'm not using some fancier or local beans.

Peet's Major Dickason Blend and Cameron's Scandinavian Blend are my usual ones. Both are on the lighter end of dark.

I don't use K Cups. However, it looks like Major Dickason is available in K Cups, but Scandinavian isn't, although Cameron's has a number of other K Cup offerings.

Tabitha gets me the McCafe breakfast blend.

I figure if I make it at work, I am helping a minimum wage employee have to find a better job somewhere else after they get canned for lack of work.

I'm just doing my part.

McCafe and Fire Department Coffee are good in my opinion. Both seem apolitical which is a huge plus and they are quite drinkable.

BRCC’s Hafer seems like a choad and not a true friend to the 2A. I won’t be buying their coffee anymore.


The heavy duty country video if you look at the comments, didn’t do much to settle anything. I was unimpressed with the video host’s ramblings.

Good grief

Not sure what you are rolling your eyes at but the cancel-culture is definitely in play here.
To what extent anyone participates is up to them.
The biggest problem is that the Right is terrible at it and the Left is a master.
Unfortunately since there is no free speech in America anymore you have to be careful what you say.
It isn't right.
Cancel-Culture isn't productive either although I fully support everyone's right to do so.
I am with Heavy Duty Country on this.
I also am still subscribing to BRCC.

Yeah, I could've quoted it better to better-reflect the reason for my response.

The was in response to the reasons members are engaging in the cancel culture behavior.

I got no dog in this fight, either.

I generally don't get too pugilistic about arguments on the forum, unless they involve gross amounts of misinformation on animal related stuff (my wheelhouse).

That said, when folks on the left use their wallets to buy only from supporters, and folks on the right decide to rise above and continue to fund the lefties, it isn't enough (IMO) to say "I'm not gonna play this game" and then bemoan the fact that the right sucks at playing it.

I don't see a reason why, with as many quality choices as I have for coffee, I should spend any more of my hard earned dollars with BRCC than I spend with Starbucks. Which is zero...

My LGS/Indoor range quit carrying Black Rifle coffee in response to their politics and now carry something else....don't remember what it is.

Like BigSwede, for me it's the reusable K-cup thingy and freshly ground Kona coffee.

Community Coffee in our house. French Roast & Breakfast Blend. Auto-delivery available.

The thing about the cancel culture is that we on the right actually have the money to spend. I'm betting a lot of those little kids calling to boycott this or that while living in mommy's basement aren't even spending money at those businesses. But they get the attention because they yell the loudest on the internet and the media is complicit.

I've always tried to support local roasters as my first choice. Essence of Coffee here is that for me. No K-cups in my household though as I much prefer grinding fresh roasted beans.

Not a coffee person myself but this is my wife's favorite among the brands she drinks regularly. It's a medium roast, which is her preference, and she says it's the best flavor she's found among those sold at our local store. As bozman noted, it's pricey, among the more expensive brands (and with only 10 per box), so we look for the sales when they come round and stock up.

Who was the fella on the SigForum that had his own coffe business? Wild Bill Something?

Edit. Found him, Wild Bill's Gunpowder Coffee

Didn't see a website, only a FB page https://www.facebook.com/WildBillsGunpowderCoffee
