At Bonefrog Coffee, every bag isn't just a container for premium, hand-roasted beans—it’s a vessel for a story. A story of service, of sacrifice, and of the unwavering commitment of the U.S. Navy SEAL community. The name "Bonefrog" itself is a sacred tribute, a symbol of honor for fallen SEALs who gave everything for our nation.
By naming our single source beans and coffee blends after the traditions, missions, and heroes of the Naval Special Warfare community, we ensure their legacies live on with every single cup brewed. We invite you to learn about some of the stories that give our coffees their profound meaning.
The Goat Locker: A Toast to the Keepers of Knowledge
The Goat Locker isn't a place you simply walk into. It's a term steeped in Naval tradition, the exclusive domain of the Chief's Mess. Established in the days of wooden sailing ships, it is a place of reverence reserved for the wise and gritty Chiefs who are the backbone of the Navy. They are the keepers of knowledge, running the Navy with an iron fist to protect young American lives.
Our Goat Locker coffee is our darkest roast, a nod to the grit and resolve of the Chiefs it honors. It's a Costa Rican bean that holds its character even under an extra-dark French roast, delivering a bold, slightly smoky, and toffee-like flavor - the best coffee beans for espresso. This is a coffee for those who lead with experience and precision.
Frogman: For the Bold and Fearless
Before the SEALs, there were the combat divers known as "Frogmen." This blend pays tribute to the courageous combat divers of World War II, whose legacy is carried on by the Navy SEALs today. These warriors operated under the motto of "God, Country, Team," a creed that still guides the community.
The Frogman is a dark roast that reflects this rich history with deep and bold flavors. Sourced from Central and South American beans, it offers a profile of chocolate, citrus, and a subtle spiciness for a smooth, semi-sweet finish. These are also some of the best coffee beans for espresso. It’s a brew as bold as the heroes it celebrates.
Extortion 17: Honoring a Tragic Day
Some missions carry a heavier weight than others. On August 6, 2011, a U.S. CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was shot down in Afghanistan. The resulting crash was the single worst loss of U.S. military life in the history of the Afghanistan War and the greatest single loss of life ever suffered by the U.S. Special Operations Command.
Our Extortion 17 coffee is a solemn tribute to the heroes who perished that day. It's a medium roast with low acidity and a smooth, semi-sweet chocolate finish. With every cup, we are honoring their sacrifice and praying for their families, ensuring that the legacy of those brave men is never forgotten.
Door Kicker: Fueling the Mission
In the SEAL Teams, the "Door Kicker" is the one who leads the way, the first person through the breach. This role requires unparalleled courage, a clear head, and the highest level of focus.
Our Door Kicker is a light roast designed to provide that ultimate morning fuel. It has our highest caffeine content and is roasted in the traditional Northern European style to preserve its vibrant, complex flavor. With hints of brown sugar and caramel and a divinely smooth finish, it’s the perfect blend to kick-start any mission.
Sons of Valor: A Tribute to Brotherhood
The Sons of Valor blend is a special-reserve offering that honors the enduring brotherhood and self-sacrifice that define the SEAL Teams. It's a tribute to the warrior class, the quiet professionals who stand ready to answer the call, protecting our nation and its values.
This specialty roast is a testament to quality and commitment, just like the men it’s named for. With its balanced flavor profile and smooth finish, it's a coffee that you can enjoy every day, knowing it represents the very best of American courage.
Navy SEAL Museum Blend: Preserving the Legacy
Created in partnership with the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, the Navy SEAL Museum Blend is a special tribute to the mission of preserving the history and heritage of U.S. Navy SEALs. The museum is located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the birthplace of the original "Frogmen." This coffee supports the museum's vital work in honoring the fallen and giving back to their families.
This is a medium roast blend with a full-bodied, rustic flavor. It has tasting notes of sweet toffee, milk chocolate, and red fruit, with a low-acid, smooth finish. It's a perfect way to enjoy a great cup of coffee while supporting a historic and meaningful cause.
