The cup is using Japanese letters that look somewhat like English letters to spell "Soul of Coffee". The comment is how those letters are read in Japanese.

I've been learning Japanese for over two years now and English is not my native language. I had no idea what was going on.

I hate this

Ooooooh, that makes a lotta sense! I really should've abused my first ex's willingness to share her knowledge of Japanese...
