We at Mainline Coffee, we are so excited to finally announce our partnership with Rikki Rockett! Rikki is an established drummer for the rock band Posion, who are known for their hits "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", "Nothin' But a Good Time", "Talk Dirty To Me", and more! We teamed up over the summer of 2024 and worked tirelessly to craft the perfect coffee for Rikki and his fans. We wanted something that would taste great, pack a punch, and look like a real rockstar doing it.

While Rikki is most notably one of the founding members of the band, which also features singer Bret Michaels, guitarist C.C. Deville, and bassist Bobby Dall, Rikki Rockett is a man with many interests! His love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu inspired the decision to go with a single origin Brazilian bean for the coffee. We roasted multiple samples for him to try, and unanimously agreed on the best one, which then became Rockett Roast after some more tweaks. Rockett Roast is 100% Arabica coffee.
When it came to the packaging, we worked very hard to make each bag look totally eye catching, while fitting with themes that relate to Rikki's life and career. Poison's iconic logo is bright green, so it was a no brainer that should be the primary color of the packaging. Having green on the actual bags themselves was something Rikki brought up in our first meeting together, so we did bags green sides. The front logo was inspired by some of Rikki's past touring drum kits like the one featured above. Many of his drum kits were bright green and showcased flames and/or skulls. One of his most recent bass drum heads he used on the wildly successful "2022 Stadium Tour" featured a custom skull and drumsticks design that he uses in his logo, so we decided to continue with that imagery. The back design is an "All Access" backstage pass, like you would see on a Poison tour. Every aspect has direct ties to Rikki!
Each bag of Rockett Roast is 1 full pound of coffee and is available as whole bean or ground. You can get your very own bag exclusively at Mainlinecoffeeny.com right now! We hope everyone enjoys it as much as we all do!
