The collaboration extends its impact beyond just serving coffee, as the duo has aligned themselves with the National Alliance on Mental Illness. The coffee packaging not only delivers the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee but also includes valuable information on how to seek assistance for mental health issues. Dubitsky told People,
“Coffee sparks conversation. And loneliness is another big, big epidemic in this country. In some ways, we’re not in the coffee business, we’re in the happy business. That said, we’re still making sure the coffee is awesome.”
Beyond the aromatic experience and quality blends, Happy is positioned as more than just a coffee brand. It aspires to infuse every cup with a dose of positivity and happiness, transcending the boundaries of a typical beverage. Downey Jr, a self-proclaimed coffee enthusiast, expressed his passion for the brew and the desire to share it with people. Downey Jr told People,
“Honestly, I love it so much that I’m agnostic about whether it’s low-end stuff that you’re getting at a truck stop or now these almost comically complicated and highfalutin blends. I don’t want to overcomplicate this. I want to feel like I’m making coffee that ticks all the boxes for everybody.”
Launched on January 30th, the brand is now available both online and in popular retail outlets like Target and Sprouts. Their 100 percent arabica coffee comes in light, medium, and dark roasts, accommodating various preferences.
Happy’s pricing, ranging from $9.99 for instant coffee to $12.99 for a 12-ounce box of ground or whole beans, caters to a diverse audience. Beyond a premium coffee experience, each purchase contributes to the brand’s mission of promoting mental health awareness and support.
