Course Grind

Course Grind is larger particles, similar to small breadcrumbs. The size allows the water to interact more slowly with the coffee, resulting in a robust and full-bodied cup, often with lower acidity.

The best use for this grind is French Press, Pour Overs such as Clever Dripper and Chemex.

Extremely Course Ground similar to rough sand, is perfect for cold brew, enabling a slow and gentle extraction over time, leading to a smooth, less acidic, and highly refreshing cold coffee.

Standard Grind

Medium grinds, akin to granulated sugar, suit drip coffee makers that most people have at home or Siphon (Vacuum Pot), striking a balance between extraction and clarity. This is the most common grind and labeled Standard Grind.

Espresso Grind

Fine grinds (Espresso), resembling table salt, are essential, promoting rapid water interaction and yielding a concentrated, rich brew. Turkish coffee demands an extra-fine grind, akin to powdered sugar, creating a thick, intense concoction through prolonged steeping.

It maximizes surface area during the prolonged boiling process, resulting in an intensely flavorful and thick brew

Whole Bean

Keeping coffee beans whole and grinding them just before brewing offers several benefits that contribute to a better coffee experience

The Workhorse of World War II

The GMC CCKW 2½-ton 6x6 truck was the logistical backbone of the Allied forces during World War II. Known affectionately as the "Deuce and a Half," this vehicle was produced in massive quantities—over 500,000 units—to ensure that the rapid advance of troops never outpaced their supplies. Its most legendary service was within the "Red Ball Express," an enormous convoy system that operated 24 hours a day to rush fuel, ammunition, and food to General Patton’s Third Army as they raced across France. Designed to be rugged and easily repairable, the GMC truck thrived in the mud of Europe and the jungles of the Pacific, proving that battles are won by the soldiers at the front, but wars are won by the logistics behind them.

Fueling the Front Lines

Operating these massive convoys required relentless endurance. Drivers often spent 20+ hours behind the wheel of these vibrating, loud steel cabs. To stay sharp, coffee became as vital as the gasoline in their tanks. It was the liquid battery that kept the Red Ball Express moving through the night. Just as the GMC truck delivered the goods, our Whiskey Barrel Aged Blend delivers a robust, smoky kick that honors the grit of those drivers. It’s a deep, complex brew designed for those who know that the mission doesn't stop just because the sun goes down.
