We match your answers to the brewing formats and descriptions of six coffees in our collection. Decaf comes first, then brewer compatibility, then flavor. This is a starting point for your taste—not a prediction of caffeine strength.

Big Guns Coffee brings together T. Shane and Charli Johnson’s love of coffee, family, and building something meaningful together.
Our story includes pioneering work with indoor hydroponic coffee farming. The online collection also includes coffees sourced from growing regions around the world.
A father. A daughter. A new frontier for coffee. Marine veteran T. Shane Johnson and daughter Charli are challenging centuries of coffee-growing tradition from their tech-forward indoor farm in Tryon, North Carolina. Fox Business, The Manual and CEAg World have featured the family bringing American ingenuity to a global industry.
Big ideas. Scientific collaboration. Our proprietary indoor hydroponic system was developed with a consulting NASA scientist, Appalachian State University and Isothermal Community College. It uses 98% less water than traditional tillable-land cultivation—a precise, resilient approach to growing coffee beyond outdoor climate limits.
The story makes headlines. The coffee makes your morning. With Drippy powering on-demand roasting and fulfillment for our separately sourced everyday blends, coffee lovers nationwide can support this veteran-owned American innovation with fresh coffee delivered to their doorstep.
