Pop Team Epic Coffee Collaboration Comes To OK COFFEE
The collaboration tests whether a joke-first gag manga can carry a food product on taste rather than on the joke, since the stated goal is a blend people would actually reorder rather than a one-off character good.

Original blend coffee and goods based on Bukubu Okawa's four-panel manga Pop Team Epic go on sale on the OK COFFEE EC site starting September 25, 2026. The project pairs an Indonesian and Colombian bean blend with drip packs, a latte base, bottle coffee, two mugs, acrylic coasters, and an acrylic muddler. The theme is "We Mixed Two People Who Are Dangerous When Mixed."
The blend mixes Indonesian beans, which the product notes describe as deep-roasted and heavy, with Colombian beans, described as aromatic with mild acidity. The stated aim is a balance that survives its own joke: the project was built to be a taste you genuinely want to repeat, not a character good you buy once.
The goods line runs from coffee to tableware. Drip packs use original panels chosen by the person in charge, there is a mellow latte base for people who dislike black coffee, and a bottle coffee meant to be drunk straight. Two mugs carry a design based on Popuko, Pipimi, and a roasting machine, with the OK COFFEE logo worked in. Popuko and Pipimi face coasters are also part of the lineup, as is an acrylic muddler that breaks the title logo into pieces.
