At Mainline Coffee, music runs through everything we do — from the names of our blends to the crackle of vinyl that echoes through the roastery. But one of the most exciting things we’ve done behind the scenes is roast coffee for the musicians who inspired us. We have our own collaboration with Poison's Rikki Rockett, called Rockett Roast, which is publicly available!
Over the past couple years in business, we’ve also had the honor of creating special, one-off blends for legendary artists. These weren’t public releases or flashy promotions — just thoughtful roasts, handed directly to the players who’ve shaped the soundtrack of our lives.
From custom labels to handpicked origins, each batch was inspired by these musicians own songs. And yes — the musicians actually got them! Having those artists enjoy a cup of something we roasted is something we’ll always be proud of.
We may not sell those blends (yet), but they’re a huge part of our story — and a reminder of why we do this. Coffee and music are both about connection, and we’re lucky to have shared a little of both with the people who inspired us to start. Below you can check out some of the backstage brews we’ve made for famous musician’s and have never shared publicly before!
