The peepoCoffee emote depicts a cute, simplified version of Pepe the Frog (known as 'peepo') holding a coffee mug. This emote conveys a relaxed, cozy, or 'chilling' attitude. It's commonly used to express that someone is taking a break, enjoying a moment of relaxation, or simply 'vibing' during a stream.
The emote is part of the broader 'peepo' family of emotes, which are characterized by their cute, simplified art style compared to the original Pepe emotes. The coffee cup element specifically adds the connotation of comfort and casual enjoyment.
The peepoCoffee emote is derived from the 'peepo' character, which itself is a variation of 'Pepe the Frog.' Pepe was originally created by Matt Furie in his 2005 comic series 'Boy's Club' before becoming an internet meme.
The 'peepo' variants specifically evolved from a crudely-drawn version of Pepe called 'Apu Apustaja' (meaning 'Help Helper' in Finnish) that emerged in the mid-2010s on platforms like 4chan and Reddit. These peepo variations were characterized by their more simplistic, childlike appearance.
While the exact creation date of peepoCoffee specifically isn't documented, it became popular on third-party Twitch emote platforms like 7TV and BetterTTV (BTTV) as part of the explosion of custom peepo emotes that gained traction in the late 2010s. The emote is not a standard Twitch global emote but is widely available through these third-party extensions.
