Good Call: A Steaming Cup of Lynch

David Lynch has been busy. Not only has he been touting his Oscar campaign for Laura Dern on the streets of Los Angeles, the idiosyncratic director has created his own blend of coffee.

According to Gothamist, which gave the brew a taste test, Lynch is selling his coffee to defray the cost of distributing his latest film Inland Empire:

“It’s like diner coffee,” says Lindenbaum, a 24 year-old MFA student at Brooklyn College, after his first sip. We are sitting in the very un-Lynchian Joyce Bakeshop; Lindenbaum has just been told he is drinking David Lynch Coffee. Much like the random questions that come to mind after a Lynch movie ends, it is seemingly unclear what the coffee really tastes like. Lindenbaum drinks some more. “No wait,” he says, “it’s good. It lacks the bitter bite of the Gorilla roast.” Subsequent sips reveal a full-bodied, calming cup. “Regular coffee is a weapon,” says Lindenbaum, considering the David Lynch brew, “and this is a real beverage.”

We're betting The David Lynch Signature Cup is a damn fine cup of coffee. Unfortunately, you'll have to supply your own slice of cherry pie.
