We absolutely do. We offer FREE shipping in the Contiguous USA for all orders of $75 or more. Coffee Club orders ship FREE.

We use the United States Postal Service, UPS and Fedex. We offer flat rate shipping for most orders based on the destination, order weight, and shipping service.

Yes. Be sure to enter the country as United States, the city as APO or FPO, the state as Armed Forces Europe (AE), Armed Forces Pacific (AP), or Armed Forces America (AA), and the APO zip code. The tracking information will only tell you when the order gets to the facility, then it's in the military's hands to get it there, so please be as specific as possible with the unit when filling in the address information.  Unfortunately we do not have a good way to provide tracking for APO shipments since once it leaves the USPS and enters the military/diplomatic mail system, we have no visibility.

About the coffee

We strive to be different, rising above coffee free trade or fair trade. Blackout Coffee searches for the best quality coffee beans, working directly with farmers and local co-operatives ensuring that the farmers are paid well above the fair trade prices. This provides an incentive for the farmers to produce excellent coffee and improve the standard of living in their community. It’s all about building a connection with whoever we are buying the coffee beans from.

At Blackout Coffee, we are well aware of the sweat and grind our growers put into harvesting their coffee beans. This provides us with an understanding of the uniqueness and originality behind the taste of each coffee. We want you to feel this in every cup of coffee that has our brand name imprinted on it.

Coffee blends are created by blending various coffee beans from different origins to meet a desirable flavor profile.

Single origin coffees beans come from one place only, usually from a certain region or farm. They can have unique flavor profiles and they tend to be available only during certain times of year.

We recommend storing coffee in an airtight container in a cool dark place. Moisture, oxygen, and light degrade the freshness of coffee. Fresh Coffee is best! We recommend drinking your coffee within 4 weeks from the roast date. After 4 weeks, you may notice a drop in the intensity of the flavor and your coffee may not be as flavorful.

We roast our coffee daily, and ship within 48 hours of roasting – many orders will ship same day. Our coffee is guaranteed fresh!
