By September, a new coffee line by longtime Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer will be out in stores throughout Connecticut, including Big Y Supermarkets in Ellington.

Right now, the coffee - called Rockin' and Roastin' - is sold mostly online. But Kramer has signed a deal that will bring his coffee into all 30 Connecticut Big Y stores later this summer. His company will also sell the coffee in seven Geissler Supermarkets and Bozzuto's by September, the Hartford Courant reports.

Kramer started Rockin' and Roastin' in April of 2012, originally selling the product solely online. The organic coffee feature beans from Ethiopia, Guatemala and Sumatra, according to the company's Web site.

"I think [Rockin' and Roastin'] is very smooth, which is the way coffee should be," Kramer told The Courant. "We're bringing it for public consumption at a very reasonable price because I don't think people should be gouged for gourmet coffee."

A 12-ounce bag of the coffee will sell between $7.99 to $8.99, according to the newspaper.
