Thanks, I have been looking for a new go-to source of good coffee that is also roasted by a genuinely pro-American company (unlike BRCC, the management of which which seems to despise a lot of its customers).
BTW, here is another such company (though I haven’t yet tried their coffee): https://stockingmillcoffee.com/ Want to have a good laugh? Go to the site and see what you have to do to ship. For $hits and giggles, pick the option that virtually no one on FR would honestly pick - there’s a funny result.

Not a coffee drinker, here.
Very descriptive (YIKES!) You could be a novelist.
It is a special formulation and very expensive. The Navy used to justify the expense to Congress (because Congress did question the Navy about its expense) that it is very dangerous to be on a ship and falling asleep when you are not supposed to be asleep causes people to die.
I have sampled Navy coffee aboard several ships and it is only as good as the person making it. But every variation makes very strong black brew. The best I ever had was made in a very large commercial coffee percolator. From the interior, it looked like it had never been cleaned. I don't remember the portion of grounds used, but a pinch of salt was added. OBTW, in those days most people drank it without sugar or cream- just black.
Maybe it is the memories, but I have a deep fondness to Navy Coffee. It does/did have a slightly different taste from commercial brews.
Axle grease ... If it doesnt melt the spoon its not strong enough ...
Navy coffee isn’t a brand. It’s the way of cooking it. Coffee boiled in water is Navy coffee
Thank you!
Someone has to drink the lower quality, pesticide ridden stuff.
You are a humanitarian.
Me too, I love Folgers. Years ago when I worked up in Canada I had friends bring me cans of the stuff when they came to visit. I suppose today you can just buy it up there.
Probably the Indonesian bird poop stuff.
WHile I patronize Lifeboat Coffee, I should mention another good conservative coffee roaster.

the newly minted “Collegium sanctorum angelorum” in Maryland is a traditional Catholic college (first year of operation!) and the students offset some of their tuition by helping to make the coffee they sell.
Don’t know if he was joking, but a friend who served on submarines once told me they added salt to the grounds before brewing.
Kona coffee, from Hawaii, is my favorite. I also like Green Mountain coffee from Vermont.
You want official US Navy coffee?
You do not have to suffer alone. Please Seek help.
I read this as “used coffee” and that could be an apt description of what I drank in the 70s.
Heard by me from a real member of the black gang (nothing to do with melanin) on the Mighty Mo, who usually had the largest hands. A Great Lakes sailor, who enlisted into the USN during the Korean Episode. Escaped the Army draft.
Things may have improved lately; I don’t recall the coffee we got in the USN 45 years ago being anything special.
Don’t know about Navy coffee, but...
Best coffee in the world, I say confidently, although I haven’t sampled 99.999999999% of it, is... Rescate Coffee in Elk Grove, CA! OMG, heavenly!
And then... wife and I were in Sacramento a few days ago and we passed Temple Coffee. She said it’s a big hit where she works. So we stopped and tried some. WOW! Second best coffee in the world, imnsho! You can get the beans on Amazon.
"This is some serious gourmet ____!"
