The name of the band was obvious from the beginning. King Coffee was inspired by the infamous coffee that was served from the coffee machine residing in the basement of the Rinman's High School where all the members of the band spent their high school time when not rehearsing with King Coffee in Brunan or Balsta (or more precisely when not chasing girls from St Eskil all over the town).

King Coffee's mission was all from the beginnng to play danceable reggae with swedish lyrics. And the band members all agreed to never get serious and allways have fun - since, at the end it's all about getting laid.
