Nice to see you back Doc !
Been a minute.
Yeah, dark brews are interesting. I’ll have to take a look at those suggestions. I’ve been happy with the simplicity of the aforementioned espresso. But, with Christmas coming may need to upgrade. Thanks.

Good coffee recommendations, fellas.
Now that BRCC is in the crosshairs of patriots, damning evidence continues to mount. Hafer's political donations are disgusting...

My brother has been roasting beans lately as a hobby. After 26 batches he sent me a bit, I was impressed!

I'd just urge a little caution here. I went and read the docs posted. It looks like there was a kerfuffle from some female "PAO" for the company and the message put out. it was corrected. The statement released post-kerfluffle simply stated that they don't support Kyle. I read that as in they are not providing him with $$ in his current situation. I did NOT read it as they are not ideologically in-line with his actions of that night. Reasonable minds may differ.
I don't know Hafer. I DO know a guy still active in the community involved with them and he is the real deal. He is real quiet for obvious reasons.
I wouldn't go and accuse them of "stolen valor" based upon some inartful reporting of a highly-charged incident.
Give them the same break that you would want if you were to suddenly pop up in the press unintentionally. Do you think you'd get a fair break in the press?

For clarity - no accusation at all from me - I'm simply surprised to see them getting lambasted on Twizzler for association and political donations. They have been around for quite some years now and this is the first time I have ever heard their actions brought into question.

I only drink the dark brews, I just like that strong but smooth flavor. No sugar, that I cannot stand in coffee, but I do have to have a bit of fresh cream. I do grind my own as well, it's my home spray when I grind lol.......  Damnit, I need a cup right now....I'm freezing and have a damn headache....

He said he was "not okay" with a picture of Rittenhouse wearing a BRCC t-shirt, then he liked a tweet calling Rittenhouse a "punk ass" (screenshots below). That's gay, and the ridicule Hafer has gotten from doing so is well-deserved.
And IRT the stolen valor claims, I stand by my belief that his direct quote of 300 days per year for 10 years is BS. If it was "inartful" reporting, he could easily have that claim taken out, but it still exists on multiple sites.
IMO Rittenhouse is the perfect wedge issue for 2020 America. You either support him or you don't, and your choice makes it clear where you stand on the divide in this country that looks less and less repairable every day. Absolutely no excuse for a company whose entire persona is predicated on pro-gun sentiment to refuse to actively endorse him. This kid shot commie pedophile rapists in self defense for crying out loud, there probably hasn't been more of a clear cut case for the SOF community to rally around since Randy Weaver. The unwillingness of our community to go all in on advocacy for this kid, meaning that anyone who doesn't get fully onboard gets ridiculed into oblivion, even if it's one of our own, just baffles me.
