Critical reception

"Coffee" received critical acclaim from music critics. The song was chosen upon release as Pitchfork Media's "Best New Track". Meaghan Garvey stated that "in an age where our R&B heroes proclaim their lack of emotions a little too loudly, "Coffee" presents intimacy as infinitely bad-ass: A cold flame, the thrill of no shame."[2] Rolling Stone ranked "Coffee" at number 27 on its year-end list to find the 50 best songs of 2015.[3]

Music video

A music video for the song was released on June 16, 2015.[4] The original version was used to make the video instead of the extended version.
