WOLFMILK VS BLACK RIFLE COFFEE
Both roast their own coffee in the United States. One tells you the day.
The short version
Black Rifle Coffee Company roasts at scale in Manchester, Tennessee and Salt Lake City, Utah, five days a week, in 100 to 270 pound batches. Its club is the cheapest 12 oz bag of the four we compared, with free shipping on every club order and four cadences. What it does not do is state a roast date or a roast-to-ship window anywhere we could find, and its FAQ says orders are processed within three to five business days before shipping. Wolfmilk roasts once a week, in small batches, and writes the date on the bag.
