Goat Locker Sample Size (4oz)

Mission Story from BoneFrog

VERY DARK ROAST (4oz bag)

Steeped in Naval Tradition, the "Goat Locker" as it's affectionately named, is a term for the Chief’s Mess. Established April 1, 1893, in the days of wooden sailing ships, it is a place of reverence meant only for those selected few, that achieve the title of Chief.

All sailors acknowledge and many fear the term but only a few know how The Goat Locker came to be. By tradition, all sailors and officers (including the Commanding Officer) are required to request permission before entering The Goat Locker. The tradition stands with rare exception even today.

Wise and gritty Chiefs, the keepers of knowledge, run the Navy with an iron fist, because young American lives are on the line.

For this, we raise a toast to you, "Old Goat.” Your well earned and feared reputation still sends chills down the spines of junior officers and Sailors alike.


The darkest roast we offer, we chose our Costa Rican bean for this coffee. Why the Costa Rican? It keeps its unmistakable character and quality, even when roasted extra dark, giving this coffee a slightly smoky, toffee-like flavor. Ours is a Strictly Hard Bean European Preparation (SHB-EP), and its hardness and volcanic origins are complemented by the French roast.

    BREW MATH

    How Much Coffee Do You Need?

    Two scoops per cup. That is the BoneFrog standard. Here is what that means for your household.

    1 Scoop 1 tablespoon, approx. 6 to 10g
    2 Scoops 2 tablespoons per cup
    12 oz bag approx. 22 cups
    How long does a bag last at 3 cups per person per day
    Drinkers 12 oz 2 lb 5 lb Best choice
    1 person 7 days 3 weeks 7 weeks 12 oz, weekly
    2 people 3 to 4 days 10 days 3.5 weeks 2 lb, every 2 weeks
    3 people 2 to 3 days 7 days 2.5 weeks 5 lb, every 3 weeks
    4 or more 2 days 4 to 5 days 12 days 5 lb, every 2 weeks
    Example: 1 person, 3 cups a day

    A 12 oz bag lasts about one week. Subscribe to 1 bag every week, or 2 bags every 2 weeks to keep a buffer on hand.

    Step up to the 2 lb for fewer deliveries. One 2 lb bag carries a single drinker through about 3 weeks.

    Two people at 3 cups each: go to the 2 lb on a 2-week subscription. One person, fewer deliveries: 5 lb, every 6 weeks.

    Not sure how often to subscribe?

    A 12 oz bag lasts about one week for one person at 3 cups a day. Two people go through it in 3 to 4 days.

    Match your household to the table above, then subscribe at that interval. When in doubt, go up a size. Running low is the one problem coffee should never give you.

    Customers praised this dark roast sample for its strong, bold taste and great aroma. Many said it's a "perfect eye opener" with "phenomenal taste." Some found it darker than preferred, closer to French roast. The 4oz size is ideal for sampling. Shoppers appreciated the mission-driven brand supporting Gold Star Families.

    Goat Locker Review

    Recently bought a sample of 8 different coffees. Goat Locker was one of them, and was one of the ones I liked most, although several tied for first place. Would purchase again.

    Goat Locker grind sampler

    Not as strong as it smells. Maybe the sample grind is deceiving. Will probably try whole bean.

    Goat Locker Review

    Closer to a French Roast in my opinion, which is a little darker/ stronger than I like. Still a very good coffee. To each their own, but I like Frogman better.

    It's the G.O.A.T.

    This is the second of my my sampler/starter order that I have been drinking (first was ZenFrog). The best way I can describe my opinion is that when I am laying in bed about to go to sleep, I can't wait to get up so I can have a cup of GoatLocker. I've never looked forward to having coffee the next day until now. Great aroma and phenomenal taste. Can't wait to try the other blends, but definitely will have BoneFrog as the coffee at home. Great job, BoneFrog team!

    Goat Locker coffee

    The coffee is spectacular! Maybe I just like the name and it reminds me of a younger time in my frogman youth. Thanks Tim for a great product. Some suggestions for names of Coffee. UDT/SDV/ST-3 ( a brew for on or under the sea or in the trees,)

    Great brew!

    I was reading the latest Jack Ryan novel when I came across mention of this fantastic coffee called Goat Locker. A quick google and I discovered it was a real brew. A few days later, I found out how fantastic it was for myself. You should too!

    These coffees are simply the best. Bold body flavorful and with a nice finish without that over brewed burnt bitter taste.

    Everything you need to know about BoneFrog Coffee. Tap any question to see the answer.

    Coffee & Product

    Yes, BoneFrog Coffee offers all blends in whole bean. At checkout, select Whole Bean from the grind options to receive your coffee unground.

A burr grinder is recommended for the best results with whole bean coffee.

    K-Cups

    Yes, BoneFrog Coffee does offer K-Cup pods.

    Returns & Refunds

    No. Coffee is a perishable product, so all coffee orders are final and cannot be sent back. The one exception is a problem with the package itself.
