I'm pretty new to this sub but I've been into coffee for the last 3 years and tried to surround myself with the beverage in that time. I imagined the folks on here to be very open minded when it came to all things coffee but every time I hop on a thread about buying coffee, all I see is "Buy Counter Culture/Blue Bottle/Stumptown/etc. I'm a little dissapointed that people arent trying to support local roasteries.
Now I'm not saying that Counter Culture is a bad roastery I'm just wondering why nobody seems to be interested in smaller shops. If no one buys from local smaller roasteries then businesses like CC or Blue Bottle just drown out all other competition. I've delt with Counter Culture first hand and their coffee is good, but its not 17.25$ a bag good. I feel like the only thing that continues their success is the fact that people keep buying their coffee for the name.

Anyway in short my questions are... Have you tried coffee from smalltime roasteries? What did you think of it? Why do you continue to use big names?
