Green Day Celebrate ‘American Idiot’ 20th Anniversary With Custom Coffee Brewer
Green Day have teamed up with manufacturers Keurig to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their landmark album, American Idiot, with a custom coffee brewer. The celebratory kit includes a brewing machine decorated with the memorable album artwork, a branded tumbler, and a collection of K-cups.
“We are on the road celebrating 20 years of American Idiot all summer,” said Billie Joe Armstrong in an official statement. “Our buses and back stages have been stocked with our coffee company’s first-ever signature brewer. Now, we can finally announce this release and hope you guys love it as much as we do!”

Green Day launched their first coffee company, Oakland Coffee, in 2015. Now known as Punk Bunny Coffee, the organic and Fair Trade line formed a partnership with Keurig earlier this year.
The limited edition Keurig brewer kit is not the only way they’re celebrating two decades of American Idiot, as a massive box set packed with unreleased recordings, a new documentary, and a variety of bonus tracks will also be arriving on 25 October. Vinyl and CD pre-orders are ongoing.
As Armstrong noted, the band is busy celebrating both American Idiot and Dookie on their ongoing Saviors Tour, with the latter album hitting the 30-year mark here in 2024. See all the remaining tour dates here, and grab tickets for an upcoming show.
The trek has already made headlines, most notably for a moment during the tour kick off in which Billie Joe Armstrong held up a Donald Trump mask with “IDIOT” written on the forehead.
The newly-expanded American Idiot reissue will be available in 8LP+2BB, 4CD+2BD or digital versions and will be released on Warners on 4 October and is available to pre-order now.
In addition to the original album, the super deluxe box sets include 15 unreleased demos, a 15-song 2004 concert from Irving Plaza, NYC (9 songs previously unreleased), and 15 tracks that were released as B-Sides and bonus tracks. The box set is completed with two Blu-rays that feature the film Heart Like A Hand Grenade, 35 minutes of Green Day live at the BBC, and a new, unreleased documentary, 20 Years of American Idiot.
