The acquisition will propel Black Rifle's value to $1.7 billion at $10 per share, setting it up to become a unicorn, or a startup that is valued at over $1 billion.
I've heard of them, but neither I, nor anyone I know, drinks their coffee. How the hell could they be valued that high?
Frankly, I find anything that markets the "military chic" lifestyle to be cringe. I would lump these guys in with 9-Line and Grunt Gear shirts based on their name.

It is cringe, but this goes beyond cringe because Hafer plays up the military dudebro persona and 2A rights and then donates to Democrats, distances himself from lawful use of firearms for self defense, and called Trump supporters a bunch of racists.
He used to be Blaze host Elijah Schaffer's biggest sponsor. Then Elijah posted the pic of Kyle in a BRC shirt saying “Kyle Rittenhouse drinks the best coffee in America.” w/ his BRC promo code.
BRC complained that made it seem like they were sponsoring Kyle and asked him to take it down. Elijah agreed but they terminated his promo code. He talked with BRC on the phone and they assured him it was a mistake by their PR firm and asked him to post a video saying everything was good between them, which he agreed to thinking it was good faith.
But they were lying- they cancelled their sponsorship with him and they got in a legal battle, Elijah mentioned on his show last night he's still not allowed to disparage the brand by name or talk much about it.
Also, BRC sponsored comedian JP Sears is the only person to outright refuse to be a guest on Elijah & Sydney Watson's Blaze show. Coincidence?
How is this any different than Turmp grifting low IQ rural people with his SPAC? Hell, Trump's is even more pathetic given he has literally zero product.
If you're a coffee drinker, Stocking Mill Coffee has been very open about their support of Rittenhouse. I don't drink coffee much (or ever really), so I can't make any recommendations, but I feel it's worth spreading the word
I've ordered from them and thought their coffee was pretty good, but I dont have the most experience in drinking over 9000 different organic craft blend coffees to compare to
If it's because of Acid Reflux, you might consider cold brewed coffee. Relative had that medical issue and it let them still enjoy coffee, albeit still less often than before.
I doubt this guy is roasting his own coffee: he's probably buying private label coffee from a commercial roaster. When all the Black Rifle shit first came up Vox Day talked about doing the same thing
If that's the way you want to support someone, great. But know that there's probably a 50-100% markup on coffee that someone else made and he slapped a label on.
I wouldn't call it a falling out as much as Tim being a little bitch. AFAIK they still get along on a personal level but Tim doesn't want Adam upstaging him on his show.
I dislike Beanieman McFencesitter as much as anyone, but I cannot deny his effectiveness. He definitely helps start the process of detox from radical leftism.
I don't believe in detoxing radical leftists, just as I don't believe in transitioning to the other sex. Even if it seems like they should be repairable, they are fundamentally broken beyond any possibility of recovery.
It's even worse with this stuff. Just like everything else in the militaria marketspace, it's massively overpriced. I know gun stores that keep themselves afloat with black rifle coffee. The markup on a gun is like 20%, iirc their coffee is better than 500%. What's more, it doesn't even taste good.
I used to be a coffee snob but now I just use a keurig and the cheapest wal-mart pods marked "medium roast". Not as good as grinding beans and french press every day but a lot more convenient.
Good stuff I drink black but this swill needs a bit of sugar or creamer to smooth out the keurig burn. Just a little adulteration is enough to make it drinkable and that is good enough for me to absentmindedly sip at the desk all day.
You're going to be shocked, but I brew my own coffee too. I don't get the 'dedication' part. It takes 5 minutes to roast a batch. Really don't even have to look at it until I start hearing first crack.
Size of the batches is what I was referring to. I roast half-pound batches every 3 days, which for me is optimal for all sorts reasons but sometimes I wish I could roast a week's worth at a time.
With a popper I'd probably have to roast every day, or do multiple batches. Which maybe wouldn't be so bad to roast the next day's beans while you're brewing this day's, but it's nice to not have to do that.
Unless with some practice it's possible to do larger batches? Back when I tried it in college we could only roast enough at a time for a single pot.
Ah, one 5 minute roast does enough for two full quart batches in the french press, at 'around' 32 grams of roasted beans each. I also drink a lot of tea, so my demands are not high.
They've come out with their own air popper design that they rate at 100 grams per batch. Maybe I'll upgrade if this one breaks, but their cheapo air popper does more than I need with minimal effort.
If/when my drum roaster dies I may try to make one out of a rotisserie toaster oven. Which is basically all my roaster is, except with a fancier temperature controller.
I bought into their grift for a little bit, mainly trying to avoid the mega-conglomerate coffee companies. It's ok I guess, I'm not even close to a connoisseur. They've thrown most of their customer base under the bus in the last year though.
I tend to buy Community Coffee now. Dirt cheap, don't seem to be egregiously political, and not a subsidiary of anything.
So you were just being a twat who felt the need to waste their time calling me out for choosing a coffee that's apolitical over an openly leftist one, and you can't even offer up a better choice? I hope you check every cent you spend and make sure it goes to overtly right wing enterprises, or you're just a massive hypocrite.
The Ethiopian Dumerso I had this morning was one of two batches I roasted yesterday. I let it go about half a minute past the end of first crack. You guys are still buying pre-roasts?

Sorry to hear that about JP Sears, his content is usually very enjoyable.
I think a lot of people thought woke was a good thing and meant something kinda different for a while there.
They exhibit the usual neuroticism, sociopathy, and spitefulness typical of their ethnicity. A living caricature.
Around the same time Crowder dropped them.
They are active clowns and the company is running something other than coffee out of Columbia.
Change my mind.
How is this any different than Turmp grifting low IQ rural people with his SPAC? Hell, Trump's is even more pathetic given he has literally zero product.
Hahaha that’s awesome
It's all very "I pay extra to wear my dogtags outside my shirt."
I liked what someone else said, they're not real pro-2A, conservative vets, they're Democrats portraying a charicature of what they think those are.
Posted the below in another thread:

If you're not getting the shakes 2 hrs from your last coffee, what kind of philistine are you??

Why not just roast your own?
Adam Crigler (formerly of Timcast until their falling out) has Crigler Coffee which I've heard is really good.
He's also not afraid of association with Kyle: https://twitter.com/AdamCrigler/status/1455628405072826370

Yeah the most interesting part of Timcast was Adam. So when he left I stopped watching
Tims fence-riding skills are impressive, but he's been nothing but a joke for many years.

Where can you watch PJW these days?
Tim Pool is a gritting faggot, but watching Crigler get progressively red-pilled was pretty hilarious to watch.
Have had both BRC and SMC.
BRC has a burned-bean taste to it. SMC is smooth goodness in a bag/cup.
Burned-bean Lives Matter!
Good to know

The $5 isn't for the coffee, it's so you have some justification to loiter. The coffee that comes with it is just a side treat.
or trick
Heh I have a friend who does exactly like, and he tries to redpill everyone on the scam that is coffee. "Just take the pills!"
Even dandelion root can be used to make coffee.
Probably don't want to use dandelions growing in city soil though unless you want to drink pesticide.
Acorns too
I just roast my own, because green coffee beans last a lot longer than roasted ones; so I can buy a 6-month supply at one time.
Hard to beat the price per-pound, even when you factor in the cost of the roaster.
Still miss when Costco would roast their own in-store. Also way cheap, and if you got a bag fresh off the roaster it was amazing.
Fellow roaster. Still using that air popper I started with from sweetmarias. Had a Ethiopian Dumerson this am.
Using an air popper is some dedication. I would definitely not be roasting my own coffee if that was my only option.
You're going to be shocked, but I brew my own coffee too. I don't get the 'dedication' part. It takes 5 minutes to roast a batch. Really don't even have to look at it until I start hearing first crack.

CIA be like "How can we turn a hundred million $ black budget into a billion".
I bought into their grift for a little bit, mainly trying to avoid the mega-conglomerate coffee companies. It's ok I guess, I'm not even close to a connoisseur. They've thrown most of their customer base under the bus in the last year though.
I tend to buy Community Coffee now. Dirt cheap, don't seem to be egregiously political, and not a subsidiary of anything.
Do you have a political coffee suggestion for me then?
So you were just being a twat who felt the need to waste their time calling me out for choosing a coffee that's apolitical over an openly leftist one, and you can't even offer up a better choice? I hope you check every cent you spend and make sure it goes to overtly right wing enterprises, or you're just a massive hypocrite.

Pre-made atoms? You're just not getting the full experience unless the electrons are rotating just so.
