Making Coffee

[Captain Dingus]

So I bought a coffee maker for my apartment and it seems like the actual coffee brewing mechanics may be bugged? I've always got a 17% chance of "failing" to make coffee (It always makes the coffee but 9 times out of 10 it's "Crap" quality). The skill to actually brew a cup successfully doesn't exist. It says "Skill: None" above the fail chance. After savescumming a lot the best I managed to brew was a "Bad" quality cup.

Is it supposed to be like that? I'm using the higher quality coffee grounds. Brewing tea I've noticed is tied to the cooking skill so is coffee supposed to be the same?

Oh also sidenote: brewing coffee OR tea into different colored cups doesn't work. It has to be the most common red cup. If you try to use a purple or green or any other color cup the item just disappears. No coffee. No tea. No cup. Just gone.

Did you use Pekka or El Presidente?

I'll adjust the quality gain on coffee.

You can mix your coffee with cup coffee that you can find in front of Kurakahara Brother or in Kolhola A dentist's room. Look for excellent quality and combine it with the coffee you make, then the coffee you make will change to excellent quality. I always make coffee with bad quality 19.8L in a plastic container, then I combine it with cup coffee with excellent quality, then you will get coffee with excellent quality 19.9L.

This is still an issue. I also noticed this goes on the Skill "None" which is always at 1. After each coffee making this does not get any XP increase. Meaning you will always get similar bad results. Even when using presidente coffee on the coffee maker in the warehom hostel you will straight waste it.
The fail chance for me is always 17%. Is creating a bad coffee already considered a "success"? Can it be worse than that, can you get ash as well? At least put it on the cooking skill to be able to raise it.
Considering we are using a machine that does the job for us this should not create as many terrible results as it does and is very annoying and immersion breaking, especially when wasting good quality coffee.
On the other hand we can create wodden crates no problem without a chance to fail regardless of carpentry skill as long as we have the raw materials. Feels very inconsistent
