Ask HN: Is there any app or extension for remote office coffee breaks?

In my company, after the initial trouble going full remote for the COVID-19 outbreak we managed to do everything remotely: 1-1s, meetings, workshops, all the things that looked impossible to do outside the office. Only one exception: the coffee break. The occasional chit chat which happened in the coffee area has not been substituted from any call, even the most informal one. In fact, people didn't schedule coffees, just went in the coffee area when willing to take one and there we met other people and had a quick chat. It was super useful for informal alignment, team building and company culture building. We tried to do remote coffees but the magic doesn't happen. Do you know anyone who tried to replace this moment with a remote tool and succeeded?
