Yeah absolutely you could.

In fact, BRCC's coffee isn't actually that good when compared to similarly priced coffees. If you want good coffee, buy from a good local roaster or a big specialty roaster - Counter Culture, Stumptown, Roseline, Madcap, Black & White, etc.

If you want to support the troops, buy that walmart coffee and donate the rest to a charity of your choice.

Ultimately, I dislike BRCC's "donating profits to charity" gimmick, and don't find their coffee to be of comparable quality to higher priced offerings that they compete with.

1 the brand of roaster doesn't really impact flavor as long as you're using a drum or fluid bed, it comes down to the guy operating it.

2 I find it hard to believe you're paying anything above coffee c futures. You're roasting only blends, you have no information about farms, co-ops, or variety on your coffee. All of these should be important to you if you're paying premium prices for coffee. There's a huge difference between "we buy the same origin" and "we buy the same lots" Your "light roast" coffees aren't sweet and lack any sort of depth that I could expect from any of the roasters I mentioned. So no, I highly doubt that you "have the same bean" as any of the companies I mentioned.

EDIT: this post was not intended to be political in any way. All I care about is the coffee here, folks.

Do you believe that the cave paintings in South Africa should get more attention in the art world when compared to those in Lascaux, Chauvet, etc. From my experience, those are studied much more in art classes then those in South Africa.

Is this because Europe brought forth fine art while Africa has mostly brought about almost exclusively tribal and pagan art such as masks, pots, and carvings?

What is it? $10k to send an ounce of anything to the moon?

I wonder how many mars missions worth of food it would take to offset the cost to transport all the building materials and seeds needed for a green house.
