Verdict · checked Nov 1, 2026
Mostly yes
Black Rifle Coffee roasts its coffee in the USA, but the beans themselves are imported, as with almost all coffee. Its Our Coffee page says "At BRCC, we import high-quality coffee beans, personally blend and roast them," and that its green beans go "directly from their farm of origin to our roasting facilities." It names those plants: "roasting facilities stationed on each end of the country, in Manchester, TN and Salt Lake City, UT." Its product pages add that "Every batch is roasted in the USA."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Ground and whole bean coffee (Just Black, Tactisquatch, Spirit of 76 and others) | Roasted in Manchester, TN and Salt Lake City, UT from imported beans | Mixed |
| K-Cup pods | Roasted in the USA from imported beans | Mixed |
| Green coffee beans | Imported from growing regions such as Guatemala and Brazil | Imported |
| Ready-to-drink canned coffee and Black Rifle Energy | Not stated by the brand | Origin not stated |
The exceptions are the raw beans and the packaged drinks. The same page credits growing regions such as Guatemala and Brazil. BRC Inc., the public company behind the brand, lists reliance on co-manufacturers among its business risks, and its ready-to-drink canned coffee and Black Rifle Energy pages do not say where those drinks are produced.
How we checked: On 2026-11-01 we read Black Rifle's Our Coffee page, its ready-to-drink, energy and Just Black product pages, and BRC Inc.'s second-quarter 2026 results release.

Under review. A source reports a possible change we are still confirming:
“the plaintiffs argue that none of Black Rifle Coffee's products are made in the United States, and that the company's use of the slogan and flag is misleading and deceptive.”

About Black Rifle Coffee Company
Black Rifle Coffee Company is a veteran-founded coffee company in Salt Lake City that roasts imported green beans in the USA.
Started by a Green Beret in 2014
Black Rifle Coffee Company was founded in 2014 by Evan Hafer, a former Green Beret. Hafer says he refined his coffee roasting between deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and spent more than a decade on his roast profiles before starting the company. Co-founder Mat Best served with the 2nd Ranger Battalion. The company says it plans to hire 10,000 veterans and gives part of its sales to veteran, military and first-responder causes. It is now a public company, BRC Inc., headquartered in Salt Lake City.
Roasted in the USA, grown abroad
Like almost all coffee sold in the US, Black Rifle's beans are imported. Its Our Coffee page credits growing regions such as Guatemala and Brazil, and the Just Black listing describes Colombian and Brazilian Arabica beans roasted in small batches in the USA. The company says it roasts five days a week in Burns B270R cast-iron drum roasters, then grinds or bags the coffee and flushes each bag with nitrogen.
Two caveats. The company's current pages say the coffee is roasted in the USA but do not name the roasting city, so we don't either. Its financial filings also list reliance on co-manufacturers, so not every product comes from a plant the company owns. Ground coffee, whole bean and K-Cup pods all carry the roasted-in-the-USA wording.
