FRC Octane™ Artisan Blend Coffee Pods

The Java Jerks are coming. Hide your light roasts.

FRC Octane™ is a dark roast espresso blend with an X-tra bold body, a deep and robust character, and a finish that means business. Smoky and woody with a hit of baker's chocolate at the close, this is a blend built for those who think most dark roasts don't go far enough. Pull it as espresso and your engine will be running before you put the cup down.

Tasting Notes

A dark roast with real authority: smoky, woody depth upfront, a deep, robust body that doesn't flinch, and a finish that closes with a lingering note of baker's chocolate. Bold, foreboding, and exactly as dark as it sounds. Built for espresso. Capable of anything.

The Legend of the Java Jerks

Nobody knows exactly where they came from. Some say the Java Jerks formed in a truck stop outside Albuquerque. Others claim they were born in a roadside diner somewhere off Route 66, huddled over mugs of something so dark it barely qualified as coffee. What everyone agrees on is what happens when you hear the roar of engines and the shriek of tires in the distance: they're coming, and they want Octane.

Hundreds strong, leather-clad, studded boots hitting the pavement and travel mugs in hand, the Java Jerks have blazed through towns across the country leaving one demand in their wake: FRC Octane, and nothing else. Café owners have learned not to argue. This blend is as dark and foreboding as the road it rode in on, and it has earned every mile of its reputation. Pour it black. Pull it as espresso. Just don't get in the way of the Java Jerks when they're running low.

Why This Blend Holds Up

Great dark roast

"I enjoy every dark roast coffee I have ever purchased from FRC. The Italian Octane is exceptional. I get it in 5 pound bags and store in FRC Airscape containers. It's sad the price has gone up but that's everything. With discount promotions I can still do better at FRC than the supermarket. Also, please bring back the hats. I was able to get 5 or more hats so far with my Fresh Points (yes, I've been buying from FRC for a long time)."

Delicious, unique blend!

"Great blend with a very unique, original flavor profile! The description of “oaty” almost drove me away from it but it turns out that’s an awesome piece of this complex puzzle! It’s hard to describe but it meshes extremely well with the chocolatey notes!"

Scott V. (5/5)
