You could change your single-product.php to just be a redirect to the correct template depending on what product category the current product it.
To do so you’d copy single-product.php to your theme’s woocommerce folder. Rename it to single-product-default.php or anything. Create another copy and call it single-product-coffee.php. You can make whatever changes you’d like to make to this one.
Then in your single-product.php you could add a simple conditional to redirect to the appropriate single-product-something.php
Make the new template and name it:
taxonomy-product_cat-Your_category_product_slug.php
as simple as this
I made a redirection in single-product.php using the product ID.
Then created different product templates in the overriden woocommerce folder (../your-theme/woocommerce/) such as single-product-product1.php and the default one (single-product-default.php, which simply was a copy of the previous single-product.php).
I have done this (Woocommerce 2.1) by creating a template for the product in my theme’s woocommerce templates named ‘content-single-product-{$product_cat}.php’ and adding a ‘wc_get_template_part’ filter that searches for templates named after the product category. Now you can override the content-single-product template by product category:
