Coffee Maker

[KAJ]

I saw that Coffee makers were added to the new 1.5 update... does anyone know where to buy them or how to craft them?

You can obtain them in year 2+ during spring with a bit of RNG luck. When you unlock projects in Fall Year 1, some projects are time gated to only show up under certain conditions. One of them is a project for Evelynn or whatever old granny's name is, where she wants you to collect 12 Leeks for her to give to her husband. Reward for completing that project is the coffee maker.

Damn shame that it's season-locked. With the Greenhouse and Ginger Island allowing you to grow things year-round, there's no reason you'd need to wait until Spring to get 12 Leeks.

Still, apparently you get the Coffee Maker itself and not a Coffee Maker recipe (which would make it a requirement for the crafting achievement and for perfection), so it's an entirely optional quest/reward.

you can get ONE coffee maker from the new quest board... kinda makes it a bit useless. by the time you get it you probably already have pots or even the greenhouse and can just grow coffee year round and get more than a cup per day.

most of these new items are feeling like that, by the time you get them they're just obsolete fluff. ;/

Yeah, I think these were made for fluff (cutscene and maybe a new semi-useless toy) and as additional requirements for crating/perfection achievements.

In general no one would do them for practical reasons. The rewards are not good enough to warrant the trouble (they're both timed and time-consuming).

I use a mod for coffee maker myself

[esotericist]

the coffee maker itself just gives you one free coffee a day. it's a nice-to-have if you want to automatically start your day with coffee, but nothing game changing

I will like so much 9 Coffe Makers, to do 3 Expressos for day, and free my Kegs and Greenhouse for more Starfruit/Ancient fruit production.

and that, i imagine, is why we don't get a recipe.
