Handcrafted by a veteran-owned, NaVOBA-certified roastery, this 12 oz pack of dark roast ground coffee blends deep, roasted flavors with a velvety finish.

The brand supports firefighters and first responders, and the beans are roasted without additives, sugar, preservatives, or soy.

• Full-bodied and robust taste with low acidity
• Flavor cues: dark chocolate, toasted nut, subtle smoke
• Velvety finish for a lingering, balanced sip

How should I brew Fire Department Coffee ground dark roast for best results?

This coffee is ground for drip-style makers, so a standard automatic coffee maker or pour-over works well. Use a slightly coarser grind for paper filters to avoid over-extraction, and stick to a 1:15–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio for balanced strength.

• Best devices: automatic drip brewer, pour-over cone, or large-capacity drip machines
• Suggested ratio: 1 gram coffee to 15–17 grams water
• Adjust grind/coarseness slightly coarser for paper filters

What makes this coffee different from other dark roasts?

Beyond flavor, the difference lies in sourcing, small-batch roast care, and mission-driven purpose. Fire Department Coffee emphasizes veteran leadership, NaVOBA certification, and a portion of support aimed at firefighters and first responders who’ve been injured or fallen ill on duty.

• Small-batch roasting for consistent flavor control
• Roasted in the USA by a veteran-owned company
• No added sugars, preservatives, or soy—pure bean flavor

How long will freshness last and how should I store the 12 oz bag?

Freshness is best within 2–6 weeks after roasting for peak aroma and flavor, though properly stored ground coffee can remain drinkable longer. Keep the bag sealed, store it in a cool, dark place, and avoid the fridge or freezer to reduce moisture exposure.

• Consume within 2–6 weeks for optimal freshness
• Store sealed in a cool, dark pantry away from heat and humidity
• Avoid repeated exposure to air; use a resealable bag or airtight container
