Look, let's be honest: in an industry where games are often discarded faster than yesterday's coffee grounds, NEXUS Co., Ltd. is celebrating a whopping 14 years of its cafe management sim, I Love Coffee. They are kicking off a pre-registration event, running from June 16th through June 30th via the Kakao Games pre-registration page.

The rewards are predictably obsessed with the number 14. Sign up, and you’ll bag a 14th-anniversary profile frame and a nostalgic theme selection box. To sweeten the deal, they are throwing in 14 million Gold, 140 Jeju bean exchange vouchers, 14 fortune cookie mixes, 14 colour change coupons, and 14 ad-removal coupons.

Fancy yourself a wordsmith? NEXUS Co., Ltd. is hosting a contest to find the best 14th-anniversary congratulatory message. They plan to turn the winning entry into limited-edition merch, which will be handed out as a special reward to participants.

That is not all. They are finally pushing the level cap up—a first since the 6th-anniversary update back in 2018. If you have already hit the current ceiling of level 100, you will be gifted a special interior item to mark the occasion. For those still grinding, anyone reaching level 100 before December 31st this year will also snag the same reward.

A spokesperson for NEXUS Co., Ltd. noted, "We have prepared a variety of content, from pre-registration rewards to anniversary events and level expansions, to express our gratitude to the players who have loved I Love Coffee for 14 years." They added, "We will continue to strive to offer fresh ways to play as a long-running title that grows alongside its community."
