Legacy in Every Cup

Brewed from legacy. Built with purpose. G22 Grounds of Honor is more than a coffee company—it’s a mission in every mug. Founded by Gold Star mother Kim Krautter and developed by veteran advocate and strategist Mark Brazeau, G22 honors the lives of the eight fallen airmen of the GUNDAM 22 flight crew who perished in the November 2023 Osprey crash near Yakushima, Japan. Each K-cup-compatible pod we produce carries not just bold flavor, but deep meaning. Inside every box is a story of service, sacrifice, and remembrance—linked directly to our Wall of Honor, where visitors can explore the lives and legacies of these extraordinary men.

 

We roast in the Berkshires. We assemble in-house. We hire veterans and uplift Gold Star families. And we do it all with one unwavering goal: to ensure that no hero’s story goes untold. At G22, coffee isn’t just a morning ritual —it’s a moment of tribute. We’re building a national brand that blends sustainability, storytelling, and social impact. Because honoring the past means protecting the future—and every cup is a step toward both.
