That Dude Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 19 hours ago, Matt. said: Billie Joe and Mike Dirnt are getting ready to launch a new organic coffee bean roasting company, Oakland Coffee Works. Read about it: http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/5174/ The most exciting thing about this: Remember when there was a rumor about an album called "Coffee and Repent"? Yeah. Green Day and Coffee are both way up there on things that I enjoy. But somehow the combination leaves me with a strange feeling. This feeling can only be described as "STOP MAKING WHAT IS PROBABLY AWESOME COFFEE AND PLAY SOME ROCK N ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quote
BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I'm willing to pay more for coffee and enjoy a cup of something that doesn't taste like tar but this could never pay off bc of the shipping. There's a lot of local coffee/tea shops that offer fair trade coffee for similar prices. I can see this would come in handy if I lived closer to them and in a less hipstery area. 1 Quote
lizziebix Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Didn't Mike make mention of this a few months ago? Wonder if Billie was an add-on investor? Will definitely order. If the taste is strong enough for me I might make it a regular habit. To paying via PayPal, this will be the 4th site I've seen this holiday season that is doing it that way. Quote
lamegreendayfan Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 To bad i hate coffee,they should open a tea shop! 2 Quote
amberwhite Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 But why didn't they name it " 409 Roasting" ??? 4 Quote

Aw, Mike Dirnt walking around my old home town is always fun to see. Sad to say that there still are no coffee shops in that part of town. Just a Taco Bell, Harbor Freight, Black Angus, 24 Hour Fitness Center and a pizza/arcade type place. I'm seriously about to spend $50 on a T shirt and two bags of coffee. Only Green Day... Quote

The Grohl Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Kind of weird but I still want a bag! Too pricey for me. Quote
Hermione Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I don't like coffee so I'm not tempted by it. If they expanded to hot chocolate I might be Quote
Not a Salad Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 I now wish I had extra money, actually. Not specifically for this, but... Quote
Fuzz Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Definitely will buy some when the pods become available. Quote
PursuitOfEpicness Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I will totally try out this coffee and no matter how delicious it is I have to tell myself I can only afford it to be shipped to me once a year. 1 Quote

Chin for a Day Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I just got an email that my coffee is being delivered today. Since today is going to be a high of 10 F (-12C) with howling winds I can use a good cup. 1 Quote
