About Operation Coffee

Start the conversation with a quality cup of coffee…
Operation Coffee, a veteran owned coffee company, has given new meaning to “finding your mission” for retired Marine and founder Sam Floyd. Floyd, a Wisconsin veteran, struggled with adjusting to civilian life after returning home in 2005 from a tour in Afghanistan. Like many veterans navigating their post-military careers, he fought a battle for his mental health and at one point, contemplated taking his own life. Floyd felt alienated from his peers and loved ones because of his experiences overseas. He knew that in order to find happiness at home, rediscovering and pursuing a passion would be essential. That passion? Coffee.
This passion was brought on by the many impactful conversations that he’d had over a comforting cup of joe. These conversations became the seed for the blossoming idea that would save Floyd’s life — and potentially the lives of other veterans facing the same post-combat mental health challenges.
