The coffee was too strong.
Celyn S.
Highly recommend ! Tastes great, definitely the boost you need !
Paul R.
Smooth flavour. Ive bought various strong strong coffees before and found they were quite bitter.
RED ON is realy smooth and has got a decent caffeine kick, will definitely be ordering again.
Mike C.
I'm a fan of strong, black coffee. Saw Contact on Facebook and looked them up. As an ex matelot, always happy to support compnies run by veterans.
This coffee is off the charts !!!. I don't normally get the much talked about caffeine hit, but I certainly knew I had had some serious caffeine after my first cup of RED ON.
I'll be back for more.
Richard B.
Really good coffee & great tasting!
Stewart B.
Made a cold brew out of it and added to my morning protein shake better than any coffee or energy drink I’ve ever had
Ronnie S.
Buzzing unlimited reps
James S.

Louise W.
Lovely strong coffee and everyone at work loves it!
DARREN M.
You only need 1 cup
Andrew S.
You know that “I just wish I could get a damn good cup of coffee” feeling that’s been annoying you for ages? You’re fed up with cheap dishwater juice, instant rat-pack freeze dried mud granules, or overpriced branded brown hot water in fancy chains ? Me too.
I was given a battle bag on a hike by my oppo. Boiling water from the JetBoil, leave it for a couple of minutes and bang! There it was…just what I’d been after since Adam was a lad.
I found Contact Coffee online and ordered the coffee selection in of all things an ammo box! That’s brilliant thinking; it keeps the air out, stops ickle fingers from breaking in and keeps the gaffer happy because it keeps all the bags squared away.
Two weeks in and if I’m in a rush the grounds go through my one cup filter machine, if I’m flush with time, it’s the Bialletti on the stove top (tip: don’t rush it, no higher than 7 on an electric hob and let it just bubble along …nectar of the Gods!) or if it’s on the hills, it’s my AeroPress.
Any way of brewing, I’m sitting there with a smug grin like a Cheshire Cat!
I’m now into “Shots Fired”: different but equally appealing.
To top it off I’ve put a couple of bags of Red On on constant repeat…and bought another ammo box for work when I’m outdoors and need a secure air tight box for my gear.

Good amount of caffeine in the beans but the taste isn’t amazing but a good morning coffee to start the day, I’m sure it’s impossible to get high amounts of caffeine in amazing tasting coffee so I understand
MARK C.
Love this coffee, the coffee bags are good as well..
Thomas B.
Brilliant coffee and service
Andy S.
My order arrived very fast, thank you. Bought two, 227g, packs - one for myself and one for my workmates. Loving Contact Coffee 'Red On!' :-)

Here's your coffee review, soldier-style:
---
**MISSION DEBRIEF: Operation Morning Thunder**
**Classification: HIGHLY CAFFEINATED**
Listen up, troops. I'm going to tell you about the day Red On Contact coffee beans saved my life — or at the very least, saved my 0600 briefing from being an absolute disaster.
I was pinned down. Surrounded on all sides by a brutal enemy known only as "Monday." Morale was at an all-time low. Men were yawning. Someone had the audacity to wear slippers to the command post. We were in bad shape.
Then intel arrived in the form of a bag of Red On Contact beans.
I cannot tell you what happened next without getting a little emotional. The aroma alone was enough to snap Sergeant Davies out of whatever fog he'd been living in since 2019. The TASTE? Son, I've been decorated twice, survived three overseas tours and one particularly savage team-building retreat in the Scottish Highlands — and nothing, *nothing*, has brought me to my knees like that first sip.
Command has since mandated Red Contact as standard field equipment. Right alongside the radio and the first aid kit. Because frankly, what is the point of patching a man up if he's too tired to appreciate it?
If the enemy ever discovers what we're drinking over here, it's over. We will be *unstoppable.*
**RED CONTACT COFFEE BEANS: Approved for active duty. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**

DARREN M.

Michael M.
Great coffee as normal.
Ian C.
I am always drinking energy drinks, so this gives me the boost I need in the morning doing my chores first thing, always brings me out of my dreariness, sets me up for the day and gives me the boost I need.
Tom L.
Lovely coffee expected something over powering or bitter but nope lovely flavour profile & a quick easy delivery.
Darren E.
Fairly quick delivery and the coffee was hoofing. As a 39 year still-serving member of the RN I’m happy to help two Royals in their venture. Just need to find out which instruments they played….⚓️
THOMAS G.
Gives the boost of moral needed to get through the day!
toby w.
Great taste guys and mean great taste. Probably the best quality coffee I've tasted not sure how strong it actually is but taste alone gets my five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s
Ian G.
Absolutely banging coffee
Great flavour and nice and strong
Good value.
Rivchard B.
Excellent coffee
Amir H.
Good quality coffee, tastes nice
Would like to see some strength of level 12 and 13
Ben S.
This stuff is the bollocks! Proper strong stuff this, got me hearing colours and seeing sounds. Taste is spot on as Americano, espresso and latte/cappuccino.
Daniel K.
Great coffee and great service.
This is the only place in the UK to your coffee from.
Mike R.
Cracking coffee and service as usual
Paul R.
Great stuff. Perks you right up.
Steve P.
The best stuff around.
Tim Atkins
Not as strong as advertised,in fact i found this to be inferior as taste goes very dissatisfied
Andrew S.
Red On is my first coffee of the day currently . The speciality Indian Robusta beans give a deep smooth taste. A very good brew indeed.
Danielle C.
It’s decent! Smooth good addition to start the day!
E J.
A fan of ‘Wakin’ The Neighbors’ I didn't think I would find a high caffeine equivalent in the UK but not only did I find it -
It surpassed all expectations. Absolutely no bitterness to this coffee and nice little caffeine buzz, dark and rich.
Contact Coffee Red On is my absolute favourite coffee to brew.
Mike R.
I like a coffee that gives you a good kick up the arse in the morning but they can often be bitter/nasty. Red On however is neither bitter or nasty. Just a good brew. And a good kick!
Craig
First coffee of the day always hits the mark
Stephen b.
Tried many different brands and blends but this is by far the best and just hits the spot
Jonathan G.
Very nice taste. I can't comment on the caffeine effect as I didn't notice anything different compared to others but for the taste I give it top marks!
Kevin C.
Great delivery and awesome tasting Coffee No1 coffee for me
Dave B.
My favorite for home espresso
Tom W.
As a dad of a newborn and a 2 year old this stuff is perfect to get me switched on for the day
Graeme T.
Best ever coffee
Scott F.
Are you going to stock 1KG bags? The option has only ever shown as out of stock.
Cheers
Gents
Craig G.
This brew is that strong it could wake a corpse...time to get it into the Galley at CTCRM.
Mr J.
Absolutely love Contact Coffee. Always start the day with a proper coffee which makes me happy.
I have tried alot of different brands but CC is the one I've stuck with, absolutely spot on.
Matt S.
Through December before Christmas I was working 12 hours a day 6 days a week, building bikes. The only thing that got me through was this coffee, beautiful flavoured full bodied and awesome coffee.
Can not recommend this coffee enough, I literally tell everyone how good it it.

Calvin S.
Very happy with the speed of dispatch and delivery, the Coffee is absolutely gorgeous... I've ordered a number of times with CCC and will continue to do so in the future.
Mr S.
Quality plus delivery in safe package
Matthew C.
Red on is much like myself...strong, smooth and no messing about! One cup in the morning and you're switched on, dialed in and ready to rock!
Had it as a latte this morning and it was was the closest thing to getting punched in the face but followed up with a gentle caress of the smooth flavor and milky combo.
Sean D.
Amazing every time. It's my go to every morning ☕
Ieuan T.
Coffee is perfect as always and the nightmare Sqn blend is my new favourite, phenomenal effort
Colin W.

Rob W.
Contact Coffee isn’t just a caffeine hit, it’s a mission essential. From the first tear of the pouch, the rich, bold aroma punches through the air like a call to arms. The taste? Smooth, strong, no-frills—exactly what you need when you’re running on fumes in the field. It’s the kind of brew that wakes your body and sharpens your edge.
The branding hits hard too—rugged, clean, unapologetically military. Whether you’re deep in the woods, on the range, or just needing a solid cup before you face the day, Contact Coffee doesn’t just deliver—it dominates.
This isn’t café fluff. It’s battlefield fuel, no question!
