Operation Coffee Battle Buddy Blend Ground Coffee – 12 oz.

The story behind the Blend

After serving in Afghanistan following 9/11, Army Staff Sergeant Joshua McFaul returned home carrying battles invisible to those around him. During his service, battle buddies helped him endure the strain of combat. At home, he felt he was facing those challenges alone.

Fifteen years later, Joshua realized he needed to find a battle buddy and ask for help. His healing journey began with a conversation over a cup of coffee.

His message is simple: no one should fight alone. Share a cup of coffee, start a conversation, and be someone’s battle buddy.

Brewing and storage: Prepare using your preferred drip coffee maker. For the freshest flavor, store the sealed bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.

Wisconsin veteran Sam Floyd founded Operation Coffee after returning home from service with the U.S. Marine Corps in Afghanistan. As he worked through the challenges of adjusting to civilian life, Floyd rediscovered the sense of connection that can begin with a conversation over coffee.

Operation Coffee grew from his belief that a quality cup of coffee can bring people together, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities to support veterans. The Wisconsin Veterans Museum selects its coffees for their quality, Wisconsin connection, and meaningful ties to the veteran community.
