Black Rifle Coffee

[VulpesForge]

Have you tried this? It's from a local Indiana company in Lafayette. I like this blend and occasionally pick up a 2 pound bag at their stand alone coffee shop up there.

I haven't, but now I will. I have a pretty good stock from the last time Costco brought in their random coffee on a pallet and found the one I'm presently in love with (Jimma region around 2k elevation). I'll order one of those as soon as I get anywhere close to low or have a good excuse to try a new coffee. Screw it, I'm just gonna buy one now. Always good to support the local boys.

I drink a 12 cup pot a day. My really good coffee addiction is substantial. I go through +/- a pound of beans a week.

I'm afraid to try BRC for fear I might like it more than mine.

Yeah, dude, dont buy it. You'll go broke. LOL

I only drink 16oz or so a day. 20 if its a bad day.

BBRC is $74.99 for 5 lbs. Copper moon is $25.00 for 2 lbs so $62.50 for 5 lbs. I've had the Copper moon before and it is good stuff. What I'm trying to say is the price difference isn't huge between the two.

Another Question.

Who grinds their own beans. What kind of Grinder do you use and where did you get it.

We use this hand burr grinder. Simple, effective and reliable as a hammer.

So how long does it take you to grind 10 - 12 cups worth of beans?

Depends on your stamina and how strong you like your coffee. 3-4 minutes-ish.

I moved to an electric burr grinder after a few years of hand cranking, but I can't recommend mine. I have to coax it along for the beans to drop. The electric only takes a minute or so.

I'm sure if you spend a hundred plus you can get a decent electric burr grinder, but my last research pointed towards more money for the better grind?

Probably 5 minutes or so. Automatic grinders definitely do it faster.

Grinding whole bean is the only way to go. I can pick out ground and bagged coffee blindfolded now. It all has a weak and slightly sour taste. I suppose that officially makes me a coffee snob too.

As to the grinder itself: I used a Mr. Coffee electric blade grinder for over 5 years. I thought it was doing a good job, but like a lot of things you're happy with what you have until you experience better.

I was limping along with a totally worn out Mr. Coffee grinder and then for Christmas my fiance gets me one of these:

I'm never going back to a blade grinder again. Once you get the settings adjusted on this it's fire and forget. I absolutely love it.

Oh boy has she got you pegged. You know it's a trap, right?

And Trader Joe’s is a communist SJW ****hole? Why is it every INGO thread about a product has a Cheap Charlie drop in and tell us what for about price? Walmart and Folgers is that way>>>>>>>>>>

I'm sorry for enjoying living in America and enjoying the competitive market place? Jeez... it is just a thread about coffee.

All I/we did was tell you what the attraction was to this brand.

Well most of us anyway.

Silencer Smooth this morning. Tasty stuff.

Freedom Roast for me this morning, a little lighter than I prefer, but it was a gift. CAF And JB are my go to blends, and the wife loves CAF because it still resembles coffee after she loads it with milk and cookies.

 

[eldirector]

I picked up an old-school percolator, and then a hand-crank grinder (Hario). Fill the pot and start it heating. Grind enough for 6-8 cups. Add to the perc.. A few minutes to boil, then 8 to percolate.

Need to finally try some BRC. Still working on some Bulletproof.

Who is a local stocking distributer...???

Indy Trading Post. Just got some last week!

Just finished my first cup of CAF .....I'm almost awake
back for the second.
The copper moon stuff is pretty good. The coffee shop at work has it and I usually opt for it when I go there.
I didnt realize they were based in lafayette

We are rolling out to Avon today in search of a proper grinder.

I've heard great things about Black Riffle Coffee. It had been on my radar for a few years. One of the gun ranges I go to in KY had some on sale so I bought some. I dunno. Maybe it was how or where they stored it. Or maybe it just didn't sell well and it's been sitting around for a long time. It tasted like ****. It was undrinkable. I don't mean undrinkable like I'm a coffee snob and it's just not good enough for me. I do like good coffee, but there was something really off about it. I'm gonna give it another try but I'm not going to buy it from a gun range. Probably best to order it directly.

I got my 1st batch for Christmas. Almost gone.
I ordered on line and like a total dweeb I ordered beans. Duh, Now I am picking up a grinder. Just so I do not waste the beans. Sure did not want to make a science project out of my morning but here we are.
