About Contact Coffee Co. - Military Coffee Built for Real Work
Contact Coffee Company is the UK's leading military coffee brand, founded by two Royal Marines who experienced first-hand the frustration of poor-quality instant coffee during operations and exercises around the world. Built around the belief that coffee should perform when it matters most, the brand was created to deliver reliable, high-quality coffee for demanding environments.
Today, Contact Coffee Co. roasts a full range of speciality coffee from its UK roastery, producing blends designed for military personnel, emergency services, shift workers, athletes and outdoor users who rely on dependable energy and great taste.

The company's guiding principle, "Quick Coffee", focuses on making fresh, quality coffee with minimal equipment, in the shortest amount of time, in any environment. Every product is designed to be practical, reliable and easy to use, whether in the field, at work or on the move.
From instant coffee solutions to speciality blends, Contact Coffee products are developed to perform in real-world conditions rather than simply look good on a shelf.
Field Tested in Extreme Environments
Every blend is field tested in the same demanding environments where customers operate, including the Arctic Circle, jungle conditions and remote outdoor locations. Products are designed to be "soldier proof", prioritising ease of preparation, durability and dependable performance.
One of the brand's best-known coffees is Red On, a single-origin Robusta from the Badra Estate in South West India, recognised by Caffeine Informer as one of the strongest coffees in the world.
