Wait a minute, wait a minute… You know, this is -excuse me- a damn fine cup of coffee. I’ve had I can’t tell you how many cups of coffee in my life and this… this is one of the best
Kyle MacLachlan, who as Special Agent Dale Cooper taught the world to drink coffee “black as midnight on a moonless night“, is launching his own coffee blend around Christmas 2013*.
MacLachlan started making his own Pursued by Bear wine in 2005 together with Eric Dunham, and yesterday the actor mentioned that he’s now preparing a coffee blend with his longtime bean provider, Thomas Reese of Walla Walla Roastery in Washington state.
Although Damn Good Coffee or Black Lodge Coffee sound pretty much perfect, and just thinking how brilliant it would be to have a Twin Peaks 25th Anniversary Blend, it is unlikely that its name will refer to the show at all. Even David Lynch with his Signature Cup Coffee didn’t brand his beans the obvious way. Asked whether it would be the Dale Cooper or the Kyle MacLachlan blend, the actor responded: “Is there a difference?”
Welcome to Twin Peaks is hoping to be one of the first to taste the coffee, so expect further details and a review according to Dale Cooper’s Guide to Tasting Coffee soon!
