I just got my "field support package." Shirt and mug are pretty cool. Coffee is freshly roasted and smells fantastic. Great customer service. Highly recommend.

Got my kit today as well.
The first pot has been ground and is ready to go for my morning commute.

Will definitely be ordering another one of these kits for my brother for an Easter/early Father's Day gift.

EXCELLENT write up ...

More than a Cup of Coffee at De Espresso Liber

It’s not every day that you can brew a cup of coffee that was roasted in Washington and also helps a military family or a fallen soldier. But families around Thurston County and the South Sound are enjoying the special brews of De Espresso Liber, the business brainchild of Alex, who wishes to go by his first name for security purposes.

The company’s name is derived from the US Army Special Forces motto – “De Opresso Liber,” meaning “To Free the Oppressed.” De Espresso Liber started out as a single operation, more like a hobby, with Alex using a torch, steel bowl and wooden spoon in the garage of his Lacey home. The company has now grown to a two-man operation, with Armando Pimentel on board.

“I was commissioned through a mutual friend to do the artwork for the company logo and I loved what Alex was doing and the coffee so much that he asked me to help him out with graphics,” Armando said. “After a few short months of working together, we realized we had the same vision and values. I was then brought on full time to balance it out and tell the infantryman side of the house – one SF Solider and one 11Bravo.”

Alex served seven years in the US Army Special Forces, working with an elite corps of soldiers and counterparts overseas. It was during that time overseas that his love for coffee grew. “We agreed that the standard military coffee and a lot of regular store bought coffee just didn’t cut it,” Armando said.

“When you are constantly drinking bad coffee you just get used to bad coffee and think that is the pinnacle of the coffee experience; there’s nothing to enjoy, you simply drink it to stay awake.” It was during his time overseas in southeast Asia, drinking coffee freshly roasted and direct from the source, that Alex realized he was tasting a better cup he had ever had before. This is when he developed the love for roasting.

Armando will tell you that starting any new business is a little scary, “but we were trained to adapt and overcome.” Their inspiration comes from the brotherhood shared and remembering the Fallen. “It is up to us to keep their memories alive and remember these men who inspire us to be better than we were yesterday.”

Here's what I found in my Christmas stocking this morning. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time to put the grinder to work.

From DEL's FB page ...

We'll be dropping a set of +12oz Green Beret Foundation authorized mugs soon! This is an initial run, hand crafted by Deneen Pottery, will be a few dozen but we are already looking at another style to begin a follow on set if there is great reception with this run.

We will donate 30% of the profits to the GBF to help support their important missions. Additionally, we will 'pre-donate' the funds so every customer knows money has already been pushed forward.

So, stay tuned! We'll drop these on the website in a few hours!
