CoffeeTime is used to indicate that the viewer is taking a break, relaxing, or settling in to watch a stream. It represents a casual, laid-back atmosphere and is often used when viewers are getting comfortable to watch content. The emote can also be used literally when someone is actually drinking coffee or another beverage while watching. It conveys a sense of leisure and enjoyment, suggesting the viewer is in 'chill mode' and ready to enjoy the stream.
CoffeeTime is a global Twitch emote that was added to the platform in 2015. The emote depicts a simple pixel art coffee cup with steam rising from it. It was created as part of Twitch's standard emote set to represent taking a break or relaxing with a beverage. The minimalist design fits Twitch's early aesthetic of simple, recognizable icons that could be easily displayed in chat.
CoffeeTime is commonly used during:
• Stream starts when viewers are settling in
• Just Chatting or low-intensity gameplay streams
• When streamers or viewers mention taking a coffee break
• During cozy, relaxed moments in a stream
• Morning streams when coffee is particularly relevant
• When viewers want to express they're comfortable and enjoying the content
• As a greeting that suggests 'I'm here to relax and watch'
