Another good question is where can I find them? Is there any of the cult coffee companies near?
I know you love your Starbucks because it is very convenient to where you live or work but there are a lot of coffee shops or roasters out there that have been getting a good following lately even if it is not that convenient to visit.
Why?
Simply because they taste better and are given more attention to detail - from the origin of its beans up to the preparation before the coffee is served to you. And somewhere in the middle of this process, we know that these cult coffee brands only produce small batches to make sure that the freshness of the beans are preserved. And that's the way it's supposed to be for all coffee drinkers.
The price might not be though as they are much more expensive that your everyday coffee and even Starbucks but for the extra 50 cents to a dollar that you add, it's all worth it. And if you're visiting from a different city and the locals there tell you that this is their cult coffee brand then try it even if you have to pay extra. You don't want any regrets, do we?
While you're there make sure to observe the coffee shop and their "baristas." Most of them, no matter how long the line is, will stick to their craftsmanship as they pride themselves in this. Even if it will take them at least 5 minutes to make sure that your coffee or espresso is made perfectly, then they will do it. In the end, you will get a drink that will be so worth it.
And one note on this, some of you might be late for work or just in a hurry, I respect you for this as time is really gold. But please don't hurry your baristas in making your coffee, it will just destroy the whole experience for you, the barista and everyone excited to get excellent tasting hand-crafted coffee from your cult coffee brands.
