More than just coffee

Black ops coffee

is a company founded by ex-military special forces personnel who, after their service, do everything they can to promote and support the community of everyday heroes. Be it before duty with good coffee, which makes all tired spirits disappear, during duty with the right equipment and refreshment in between, or after duty at joint events and further training.

Background

The team

of Black Ops Coffee is a familiary association of comrades who want to create a community with a high standard of quality of their goods and everything that goes with it. We are deeply convinced that together you can do anything as long as you join forces and pull together.

Our goal

Black Ops Coffee is a reliable brand for those who both defend and live our shared values every day.

But we don’t just want to offer you the best coffee for your personal daily Black Ops, we also want to show you that with cohesion and mutual help you can overcome any challenge.

That is why Black Ops Coffee is a brand by and for all those who drink coffee as a pleasure and also as a ritual. Black Ops Coffee gives all of our often silent everyday heroes the support they desperately need, no matter where they are or what their personal BLACK OP looks like right now.
