Coffee for life

[Pangaearocks]

Planted some in the greenhouse. Turns out I now have a beanshaped problem. Plants are gone for a while too. But never time or room to process the darn things

Anyone in the same bind?

Oh, and let's try to ignore all the other stuff in there lol

I get a hopper and load it up, then stick that somewhere I pass by daily or even a couple times a day. Then I just grab a cup every time I am there.

DIY coffee machines!

Thanks, that's clever. I don't have access to hoppers yet, but will keep this in mind for when I do

Multiple coffee sheds are needed xD

 

[Pangaearocks]

Allright. I bought a hopper and assumed it would keep producing coffee and put the cups back in the hopper. But it only does 1, and then stops? That's kinda pointless, and barely saves any work at all

I put 10 kegs in the greenhouse itself, to turn beans into cafe. When enough piles up, I boil it down to triple shot espresso.

…. but I admit, there’s a point it’s no longer worth the hassle. Eventually I rip them out and just buy coffee in bulk from Gus.

I put a vertical row of 5 to 10 Kegs along a walking path I use frequently on the farm, though you could put those anywhere. The vertical row is for quicker loading as there's a quirk where loading multiple items (Coffee uses 5 beans, not one) horizontally takes noticeably longer (on PC/Mac with a mouse). Keep the Coffee Beans in an easily accessible inventory slot and Harvest and Reload 2-5x per day depending on when I pass by. It does wonders, quickly clearing out my accumulated Coffee Bean stacks.

That's why I specified to keep it somewhere where I pass by frequently. Drink one on my way out of the house in the morning, swing through and pet all my bunnies. By the time I make it to my barn, I need a top-up of coffee, and one is waiting for me there. It's not about processing all the coffee beans at once, it's more about always having a coffee boost ready whenever I want one.

I never could get the coffee thing going at home. I always like extra speed double speed for mines. So I buy my coffee from Gus when I start accumulating enough cash and make the triple shot espresso recipe also sold by Gus but at home in the kitchen. ALSO the HOT JAVA RING works wonders if you can get one in volcano on Ginger island. It gives beans as mines (any mines) drops for slain monsters but also gives cups of coffee and sometimes even triple espressos. Way cool ring to have!

If you have the time, 10 crystalariums each of diamonds, jade and rubys that you collect when they are done(5 days and 2 or 3 days respectively) for a few seasons and you will have infinitely regenerating supply of tripple shot expresso, spicy eels, and staircases<3(best part is all you need to do is collect then trade on sunday when you have a few hundred and by the time you run low you have enough saved to trade again)

 

[Benhimself]

I was curious, so decided to do some math on what it would take to ACTUALLY have coffee for life. 5 triple shot espressos will cover you an entire day. This turns out to:

560 triple shot espressos a year
1680 coffees a year
8400 coffee beans a year

Now, if you want your junimo huts to do the harvesting for you, you'll have to plant them on your main farm on the first day of spring, which will produce a minimum of 96 coffee beans per plant. 8400/96=87.5 coffee plants planted each year. Of course, you'll want some extra beans so you have something to plant next year, so call it 89 plants total.

(You could get buy with fewer plants if you put them in a greenhouse or on ginger island where they grow perpetually, but at that point you have to harvest them every 2 days manually and I think the time involved doing that almost definitely offsets the benefits you get from the coffee itself.)

That is what I do almost every day.
I have tons of 3-shot expresso, spicy eels and staircases trade from Indian boy in desert.

Same, I have an entire shed with just crystalriums for this purpose. Once you have the desert unlocked, it makes the most practical/efficient sense to use crystalriums to produce diamonds. Then use those to purchase triple shot espressos from the desert trader.

A triple shot has the duration of 3 coffee. A crystalrium produces a diamond every 5 days. A coffee plant produces 4 beans every 2 days with a 2% chance at producing more. Meaning, If both produce continuously for you year round, you are getting more coffee duration with the crystlarium. That is not even taking into account that with the plant you have to harvest more often, and then afterwards having to use a keg 3x to equal the triple shot VS. just taking a stack of Dimonds to the trader once in a blue moon. The crystlarium is clearly the superior option.

Okay, srsly... how many did you plant??? I've planted a few in the greenhouse too, but I've never had over 1.5k coffee beans just laying around!

Not that many tbh, at max size it was maybe 15. But they propagate quickly.

Still have most of them in a chest. Found out the hard way that putting them in kegs on console is a right pain, so quickly gave up. Only use coffee when doing skull cavern, and the coffee maker provides enough.

 

[MogBeoulve]

Not sure if it works for your console, but I found that loading machines works better for me on the Switch if I line them up vertically rather than horizontally. It's a little harder to see which ones have been missed, but I miss far fewer of them.
