Our Mission

The Coffee Buds is a veteran-owned coffee company founded by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. We bring together coffee, travel stories, and a commitment to people who have served.

Service stays with you

The discipline of showing up for others does not end when a uniform comes off. Our mission focuses on veterans experiencing homelessness and on helping customers discover organizations working to improve veterans’ lives. We want the morning ritual of coffee to be a starting point for curiosity, connection, and action.

Meet Veteran Strong

Veteran Strong ~ Max Caf Blend is our bold, medium-dark coffee dedicated to the people who keep going: veterans, service members, first responders, and everyone facing an early start. See its product page for the current coffee details, price, and the store’s stated giving commitment attached to each sale.

Choose whether to give more

A DAV donation is entirely optional. You can add a separate donation in the store or choose an amount in your bag before checkout. Your selected amount appears as its own line item; buying coffee does not require an extra donation.

Our Give & Grow live impact tracker shows recorded contributions over time. For the organization’s own programs and ways to support them directly, visit Disabled American Veterans.

Good coffee, handled with care

Our roast-to-order coffee is roasted in the United States. Whole-bean coffee ships on roast day; ground coffee ships the following day. Roasting and preparation can take 1–5 business days before shipment, with standard ground delivery typically taking another 1–5 business days after dispatch. Read the full shipping information before ordering.

Follow the story beyond the bag

Explore coffee by origin for the places and people behind a cup, or visit the journal for brewing guides and stories. If you are choosing a repeat ritual, see how coffee subscriptions work and review the current terms on the product page.
