it's an idiomatic expression to mean: There are different kinds of coffee. Good and bad. Or good and excellent...

@esocom:

To me, it's just saying that there's only coffee available, but in a joking manner.

"What do you have to drink here?"
"There's coffee, and coffee." (i.e. "We only have coffee.")

Now, the alternative would be something like this:

"There's coffee, and then there's COFFEE." (with emphasis on the second, which means that the first is just average coffee, but the second is something really special.)
