Buying products just because they have guns on them makes you no different than the people that buy shit covered with Punisher skulls/Molon Labe/etc. Just because a company is owned by a veteran does not mean their political views or values line up with yours... veterans can vote for grabbers/Democrats/lizard people, too.
Edit: Not lecturing you, OP. Just a general reminder to all people. We've all been duped by something like this at some point in our lives.
Yeah, I am more so disappointed because the CEO is directly quoted in saying he is 2A, the company values 2A, and then donates to Anti-2A causes, little more disappointing than them not saying anything about 2A and donating to Act Blue.
Its a rough world when you're spending money based on a company's 2A status. Its way easier to be a member/donate specifically to organizations that exist to fight for 2A rights (GOA, etc) and then not sweat the small stuff as much. I'd imagine GOA donations to more pro-2A stuff than coffee profits from one person help the anti-2A cause.
Also, don't buy trash coffee. Buy a burr grinder (Baratza Encore is a good start, and they sell refurbs) and get some decent whole beans (( Happy Mug is not bad - yeah, they're probably liberals, but so are almost all your other coffee brands, obviously, and I can't find any donations they've made... yet). Also, get a moka pot, French press, Aeropress, pour over, etc... put a few more minutes into your coffee and you'll taste a huge difference.
Second the Baratza Encore. I got that as my entry into good coffee and it's great for getting into basically everything except espresso. I recently moved up to a sette 270 for espresso but I might still use the encore for pour overs.
What finally got me to buy a good entry level grinder is when I realized that outside of espresso, the grinder was the only expensive thing. Moka Pots, Aeropress, pour over cones, etc are all pretty cheap.
... real question is, what espresso maker do you have and what do and don't you like about it? I've been thinking about making the jump.
