Official MOTÖRHEAD coffee 'Speedfreak' to launch at Daytona Bike Week 2025
21-02-2025
MOTÖRHEAD‘s signature “Speedfreak” blend is the loudest, fastest, and heaviest coffee you’ll ever ingest, a bold-bodied paint-peeling, face-ripper containing notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and cocoa primed to fuel your day (truth be told, it’s also a little nutty with a “fruit kick” to boot!). Built for speed? Welcome aboard!
Concept Cafes shares: “We’re just humbly honored to be a very small part in the iconic MOTÖRHEAD legend and share some freakishly delicious coffee with all the fans in the MOTÖRHEAD universe! The ‘Speedfreak’ coffee concept came about when somebody (working on the project) literally blurted out a descript, and then the prologue really began kind of writing itself. The ‘Speedfreak’ Homeric epic spins a cylindrical dead man’s tale of the almighty MOTÖRHEAD launching a custom ’75 Chevy Big-Block hot rod engine into the ether only to return as the monstrous ‘Speedfreak’ goliath 50 years later, fueled by coffee beans of an unknown alien origin, and propelled by the louder-than-everything reverberations from Lemmy‘s signature ‘Murder One’ amp stack. MOTÖRHEAD‘s ‘Speedfreak’ coffee is more than just a cup of joe, it’s a no-brakes, hang-on-if you-can lifestyle; if it’s got wheels or motion, ‘Speedfreak’ will burn ’em out!”

MOTÖRHEAD, the multi-generational soundtrack and lifestyle for millions worldwide, will celebrate its 50th year in 2025, and in honor of this historic milestone, a series of releases and events will take place throughout the year. Having played live to millions of fans, and sold over 25 million albums in their career, the Grammy Award-winning MOTÖRHEAD are as popular as ever as their golden jubilee commences. In 2024, the band enjoyed a brand new U.K. top 10 single in October with “Lawman”, racked up over 320 million streams globally, numbered 20 million listeners on Spotify, and garnered over 112 million views on YouTube. And starting with a very special release to be announced in May, the year 2025 will be a celebration that confirms MOTÖRHEAD is for life and Lemmy is forever.
Back in November 2016, Rainbow Bar & Grill dedicated its patio to Lemmy and re-named it “Lemmy’s Lounge.” It was a fitting gesture from the Rainbow, as when Lemmy wasn’t touring or recording, the majority of his waking hours were spent on said patio. There was already a life-size bronze statue immortalizing Lemmy at the Rainbow, which attracts fans from all over the world, and Lemmy’s Lounge allows hardcore fans and casual patrons alike to sample the wares and atmosphere that Lemmy loved so much.
To celebrate Lemmy’s Lounge, Roxy owner Nic Adler and Goldenvoice‘s Paul Tollett kindly agreed to allow the painting of a celebratory mural commemorating the life of Lemmy and MOTÖRHEAD on the side wall of the Roxy, opposite Lemmy’s Lounge and statue.
According to Visit West Hollywood, Lemmy loved the Rainbow so much that he moved to West Hollywood to be closer to it. In the last two decades of his life, he was a daily fixture at the Rainbow whenever the band was not on tour, and he was often seen playing the bar’s video poker machine.
Lemmy died on December 28, 2015 at the age of 70 shortly after learning he had been diagnosed with cancer.
MOTÖRHEAD had to cancel a number of shows in 2015 because of Lemmy‘s poor health, although the band did manage to complete the aforementioned European tour a couple of weeks before his death.
In June 2020, it was announced that Lemmy would get the biopic treatment. The upcoming film, “Lemmy”, will be directed by Greg Olliver, who previously helmed the 2010 documentary of the same name, “Lemmy”.
A custom-made urn containing Lemmy‘s ashes is on permanent display in a columbarium at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood, California.
