Introducing Silent Service Coffee:

Welcome aboard, where the depths meet the heights of flavor. Dive into Old Salt Coffee's Silent Service blend, crafted to honor the stealth and strength of the US Navy's legendary submarine fleet. Inspired by the Silent Service motto, this coffee emerges from the shadows with a bold, dark chocolatey profile that hits the mark like a perfectly aimed torpedo.

Craftsmanship in Every Sip:

Sourced from the high-altitude terrains of Sumatra's Jagong Mill and the lush fields of Colombia Forest Coffee, each bean tells a tale of dedication and mastery. At Jagong Mill, owned by Mr. Irham Junus and his family, meticulous cherry selection yields the prized Sumatra Organic Takengon IKA Mandheling Grade 1. This Sumatran gem is nurtured from farm to export, ensuring unparalleled quality in every cup. Meanwhile, in Colombia, Elias and Shady Bayter of El Vergel Estate have rewritten the script on coffee innovation. From avocado farms to coffee empires, their commitment to specialty varieties and cutting-edge fermentation techniques defines excellence in Colombian coffee. The result? A symphony of flavors that harmonize in every batch of Silent Service.

For each bag of Silent Service coffee sold through Old Salt’s website, we will support DSF's mission of easing the financial burden of undergraduate and vocational education for the sons, daughters, and spouses of Submariners. DSF was established in 1960, and they awarded their first scholarship of $350 to John L. Haines, Jr. in June 1961. Initial funds for DSF were raised through the efforts of submarine officers' wives' organizations throughout the United States. Today, DSF continues to receive strong financial support from submarine spouse organizations and the submarine community as well as support from individuals, corporations, and fundraising activities. Donations go directly to support scholarships; income from DSF investments supplement these contributions for scholarships and operating expenses.

Smooth As Silk

While this coffee is listed as a dark roast, it still has a smooth taste. It is not harsh or bitter as some dark roasts can be.

A bit disappointed

I decided to try your coffee due to my father fighting WWII in a submarine. I know how he drank his coffee. I thought your coffee would have been close. Well, the coffee was not even close to the Strong Dark Brew my father drank while in the Navy, and later at home. While your coffee was very good, I expected it to be much stronger, as my father said, a spoon should stand upright in a strong cup of coffee, or as I say, if your can't chew it, its not coffee. I will continue with the coffee I get from another veteran owned company.

Ahoy there, Lee!

Thank you for giving our Silent Service a try and sharing your feedback. While we're glad you found our coffee 'very good,' we understand it didn't quite meet the standards set by your submarine veteran father.

As veterans ourselves, we have immense respect for your father's WWII submarine service. Those were tough men who drank tough coffee! What you might not realize is that coffee strength isn't just about the roast - it's a function of grind size, water temperature, and brew time. Silent Service is indeed our darkest submarine-inspired roast, but even the darkest coffee can brew mild if not prepared to specification.

For that 'spoon-standing' brew your father enjoyed (we've been there!), try using a finer grind, more coffee, or extending your brew time, or a combination of all three. These adjustments can transform the same beans into that thick, potent cup that submariners have relied on for generations.

We'd be honored to earn your business back and help you dial in that perfect cup that would make your father proud. Feel free to reach out if you'd like some specific brewing recommendations for authentic submarine-strength coffee.

Until then, we'll be standing the watch.

Respectfully,
Old Salt Coffee Company

Could have been 5 stars

Coffee is great, cup is fine however, Old Salt uses a USNavy submarine flying the American Flag which pings on all of us military veterans to buy. And... your cup is made in CHINA. Come on Old Salt, in this day and age "Buy American" and support your US vendors!
