Review Summary -
The reviewer explores Black Rifle Coffee Company's CAF blend, known for its high caffeine content and smoky flavor. He acknowledges and thanks the company's ownership and operation by American veterans and expresses some skepticism about the claim of high caffeine content in coffee, often associated with the less-favored coffee species, robusta, as opposed to the preferred Arabica. To clarify the coffee's composition, the reviewer reached out to the company's customer service and learned that the CAF blend does contain robusta, alongside some Colombian coffee. Despite his low expectations due to the robusta inclusion, he decides to brew and taste the coffee.
As the reviewer brews the coffee, he notes that the aroma isn't just bad, but there's an unusual element in the scent. Upon tasting it, he describes it as having a terrible flavor profile with notes of carbon, charcoal, and a leathery texture. It is extremely bitter with no discernible acidity, resulting in an overall unpleasant coffee experience. The reviewer compares it to something one might find at a gas station and suggests that the only way to possibly make it drinkable is by using a third-party coffee product, Laird Superfoods creamer.
In summary, the reviewer expresses his initial skepticism about Black Rifle Coffee Company's CAF blend due to its claim of high caffeine content, often associated with lower-quality robusta coffee. After reaching out to customer service for clarification, he finds that the coffee does indeed contain robusta. His brewing and tasting experience is disappointing, as the coffee's flavor is described as extremely bitter, leathery, and unpleasant, with no redeeming qualities. The reviewer even suggests that it might require external additives to make it somewhat palatable.
