I was watching an episode of Seinfeld today and quite humorously Elaine recalled a time that she 'had to' drop a class because of a guy who would go "ahh" after every sip of coffee.

Is there a name for that breathy "ahh" that's sort of like a relaxed sigh?

    I think your relaxed sigh is pretty good already.

Without further context (I've never seen that TV show) I don't think there's a better word than the one you suggest: "sigh". And it may be sigh of relief, pleasure, exasperation, sorrow, etc.

If the guy goes "ahh" after every sip of coffee, I presume it's "a sigh of pleasure".
