Black Rifle Coffee Company

[number1roadie19]

Welcome Pilot. Nor did I. I was just commenting on the excellent customer service. Id rather buy local, (Community or French market) but I'm sure they have some skeletons in their closet also. If I went off who a company supports for everything I would probably have to live off grid and do everything like a caveman. I value customer service and that's all this was really about. I do appreciate the info and consider myself more informed but a lot of companies do a lot of bad stuff, it doesn't stop me from buying their merchandise. Just my honest opinion.

The only BRCC roast I liked was Silencer Smooth, but honestly I find it to be too expensive for the quality you're actually getting.

I do like Drag Up Coffee, started by an oilfield guy that got laid off in the downturn and went into the coffee biz.

I’ll just leave this here

Just playing devil's advocate here, but those are the employer's, not the actual donors, listed. Were the donor's listed as the principals to the company or was it just workers donating? And, yes, I do realize that employees donating to certain causes reflects on the business, but if its just some millennial coffee baggers donating, that's not such a big story. Of course, if the implication is that the company is funneling cash to causes thru employees, then that is another story as well... All just speculation on my part.

What you are seeing are EMPLOYEES of BRCC donating to ActBlue, not the company donating money directly.

The vast majority of the Actblue donations are in the $5 range.

Evan Hafer made several large donations to Republican candidates and causes.

I'm going to take my words back and order a pack of Silencer Smooth.

Well, you got in right as I was typing this.

The correct answer is that it is the employees of BRCC donating their own money to that org. Also, if you look at the results, it's not much money at all...$5 here, $10 there. Its likely that it's just very junior employees who bought a hat, a sticker, or something like that from a candidate.

I was not trying to be misleading with my post. I was going for an apples/apples comparison to the Meplat screen shot. If people here want to boycott brcc because their employees donated then they need to add more to that boycott list.

I'm not in the camp of boycotting companies because of their beliefs or political views.

No worries

It's unfortunate how things like this spread. I personally don't regularly drink BRCC as I prefer very fresh roasted coffee from botique roasters, but I do like the mission (and the swag!) from BRCC. Evan (BRCC founder), from what I can tell, is a solid dude who is as American and 2A as you can get.

Employees are donating under a company they don’t own??

I'm not exactly sure how it works with political donations. It could be they ask who their employer is and you can answer or not.

Whenever you make a political donation it asks you where you work.

They aren't "donating under a company." They work for a company and use some of their personal money to support a candidate.

This isn't anything new and isn't a big deal. It's just someone trying to troll on the internet and a lot of folks believed it.

Ahhh gotcha

They most likely ask who your employer is BC many employers will match a donation, or a portion of it. Company matching. It is nothing nefarious, they are simply seeking possible employer donation matching. Mo money.

Good point.. I remember this when I worked as an employee. It didn't mean the company supported whoever you donated to.. Just they would match any donation you make up to a certain amount.

When politics are brought up with this company, i think about just like Springfield Armory. How many employees does the Black Rifle Coffee Company have? Of those employees, how many do hurt your 2a feelings? With that said, the rest of the employees don't deserve to be impacted by how a hand full of people acted. As for the coffee, I put milks, cream and sugar so I doubt i'd notice a difference from our regular Community Coffee we drink at home and at work.

If you're getting coffee that is already ground in the bag, you absolutely are not going to tell the difference. You might notice that it's a different roast than what you normally drink and a few different notes due to differences in grinding, but in general pre-ground coffee is very stale by the time you open it.

Now if you're grinding your beans fresh you will probably notice a difference between the two. Not to say one is better than the other, but there will be a difference.

I think what you're trying to say is that true blue 'Merican coffee tastes WAY better than pinko commie coffee! (Fixed it for ya)

LOL

BRCC is good. There are better and cheaper options that can be shipped to your door and are roasted the day they are shipped.
