I love the fact that it's katakana, a script only used for foreign words, including anglizisms. So in order to make it look exotic, it's a Japanese script, but one that's used by Japanese for exotic words, which is fitting because it's actually an English words. So by making it double exotic, they reveal the fact that it's not exotic at all. Meta.

oh shit, I just now realize that it's supposed to spell "Soul of coffee".

I was super confused about all the weird mixing and just assumed my absolute beginner japanese skills were not good enough for whatever mix use case that was
