I love coffee and I love Black Rifle Coffee, so I brewed a cup of Gunship to tell you what I think.
Black Rifle Coffee Company is veteran-owned and hires veterans, and some of its profits go to veteran, law enforcement and gun rights organizations. This time I got Gunship, ground rather than whole bean, hand-dripped a cup with nothing added, and tasted it. The button below goes to the same Gunship blend on Amazon.
- Very smooth, even black
- Fun packaging with the Little Bird helicopter art in silver
- Veteran-owned company that gives back
- Available ground or whole bean
- If you like a strong dark roast, a darker BRCC blend might suit you better

Unboxing
The box says “Coffee or die, divided we fall,” and they even have their own tape. Inside was a Black Rifle Coffee Company sticker and the bag.
The Gunship bag has a helicopter on it in silver. It looks like a Hughes 500, the Little Bird, like in Magnum P.I. or the strafing runs in Black Hawk Down.
Brewing it
I boiled some water and used my hand dripper. It smelled awesome while it brewed.
I drank it with no trimmings: no sugar, no cream, piping hot.
How it tastes
Man, that is a good cup of coffee. It is so smooth. I go through a lot of coffee at home, and I have never had a bag of Black Rifle Coffee I did not like.
I usually pick coffees in the medium roast range, and so far Silencer Smooth, Gunship and the Blue Line edition have all been fantastic. I may step up to a darker roast next.
Dress it up if you want
This is delicious on its own. If you like to add honey, brown sugar, sugar in the raw or whatever else, I am sure you will like it even more.
