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!

All things considered, I shouldn't be surprised that TapBlaze is opting to remain within the genre where they achieved success, but there is something charmingly typical of a developer to essentially do the same thing, but slightly differently. Not to say I think Good Coffee, Great Coffee looks derivative in any way. However, there is a slight concern that it might not innovate sufficiently to attract new fans.

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