I guess. I definitely don't have that kind of a relationship with my coffee as I do with bands. I don't drink Henry Weinhards anymore. I still like Guided By Voices.
of course they all taste different just like stumptown has several different flavors. other local boutique coffees that aren't as establish can do the job.
well it's not exactly like your friend's band. there are other coffees that 90% of the company is not owned by Folgers or whoever. your friend's band i assume fills a specific void that other bands don't. while there are other good coffees.
