Good Coffee, Great Coffee is the ideal digestif for Good Pizza, Great Pizza, coming soon

• Good Coffee, Great Coffee is TapBlaze's newest release, set to arrive in early 2025
• Currently announced only for iOS, it brings the culinary simulation to the world of baristas
• Serve drinks for a cast of over 200 NPCs with different personalities and attitudes

Hot off the heels of the 10th anniversary of their flagship title Good Pizza, Great Pizza, developer TapBlaze have announced they'll be tackling another favourite of folks everywhere. No longer content with exploring the world of culinary simulation, soon they'll take your skills to the venerable world of baristas with Good Coffee, Great Coffee!

If you're familiar with TapBlaze's other IP, then you won't find much here to surprise you. Not to downplay it of course, as Good Coffee, Great Coffee is set to offer the same mix of story-based narrative and culinary simulation as you mix amazing-looking drinks for a variety of quirky customers.

Yes, one of the main selling points of TapBlaze's previous work returns as we see that the customers you serve coffee aren't just faceless NPCs, but fully-rounded characters with backstories and attitudes of their own. Draw fun latte art, experience a fully soundtracked ambient score and even customise your own coffee shop!

Hot, hot, oh we got it

All things considered, I shouldn't be surprised that TapBlaze is choosing to stay within the genre where they found their success, but there is something charmingly stereotypical of a developer to basically do the same but slightly different. Not to say I think Good Coffee, Great Coffee looks derivative by any means. However, there is a bit of a worry that it might not innovate quite enough to bring in new fans.

Still, I don't doubt there are plenty of you excited to hear that the series is continuing, and who knows? Maybe 10 years down the line we'll be celebrating the anniversary of Good Coffee, Great Coffee too? Check it out when it arrives on iOS come February 27th, 2025!
