Bands and musicians with their own beer/liquor brands is very on trend, but another beverage venture that’s been very popular in recent years has been rockers launching their own coffee brands.

Just how popular is coffee in the rock community?  Here are five bands/musicians with their own coffee brands.

• Green Day

  Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt launched Oakland Coffee Works in 2015. Recently they annouced a new label under their brand: 'Father Of All...' Dark Roasts, which is billed to "kick your ass and soothe your soul." In addition to the coffee itself, there’s a line of merch as well.

• Korn

  Share

  Korn launched their coffee brand in Fall 2018. Its name? Korn Koffee, because if they actually spelled coffee with a “C,” that would be just weird.

• Kirk Hammett

  Share

  The Metallica guitarist partnered with Dark Matter coffee to create his special blend called Ghoul Screamer likely due to his horror film fandom. 
• Dave Ellefson

  Share

  The Megadeth bassist launched his Ellefson Coffee Co. a few years ago, and in addition to selling a variety of different roasts, Ellefson also sells different coffee edibles like chocolate-covered espresso beans dubbed “Atomic Rocks.”

• Joey Kramer

  Aerosmith’s drummer has had a lot of success with his Rockin’ & Roastin’ coffee brand, and even though his own coffee shop only lasted a year, fans can still buy his brew through a subscription service at RockinAndRoastin.com.
