Coffee Resupply

Four bags of Contact Coffee packed into a steel M2A1 ammo tin. The full coffee resupply: the four core blends and the tin to keep them in. Built for early starts, late nights, and any week where the kettle is going to see a lot of use. And if you are shopping for the man who has everything, this is the answer: he does not have this.

What's in the resupply

• Four bags of coffee, 227g each (16 servings per bag, roughly)
• M2A1 military-grade steel ammo tin from the same supplier that supplies the MOD (the same tin we sell separately)
• Choose beans or ground

The four coffees

• After Hours: roasted nut, dark cocoa, sweet cedar wood. Higher Robusta ratio. Strength 4/5.
• Battle Prep: Brazil and Latin America blend. Liquorice and cocoa. Strength 3/5.
• Red On: single-origin Robusta from the Badra Estate. 1,293mg caffeine per 12fl oz. Strength 5/5.
• Shots Fired: Brazil and Ethiopia Djimma blend. Chocolatey, nutty. Strength 2/5.

Why an ammo tin beats a hamper

Most coffee gift sets arrive in a basket or a cardboard sleeve that goes straight in the recycling. The M2A1 tin is the part of this gift that lasts: a rubber gasket seal that keeps it airtight, steel walls that block light, and a quick-release catch. Ours come from the same supplier that supplies the MOD, so this is the real thing, not a novelty replica. Airtight and light-proof happen to be exactly the conditions coffee keeps best in, so when the four bags are finished, the tin carries on as coffee storage, range kit or a dry box for years. It is a coffee hamper where the hamper is the second present.

The coffee gift for hard to buy men, military and veterans

A standard-issue good gift for serving personnel, veterans, or their partners, and our first recommendation for anyone impossible to buy for. Strong brews, kit that lasts, and an ammo tin that needs no explanation to anyone who has carried one. Not sure this is the right pick? Our complete coffee gifts guide covers every option from stocking fillers to the full resupply.
