Coffee is a package of ground coffee used to brew hot drinks. A full package weighs 1.0 and keeps without spoiling. Eaten dry it is unpleasant, so its real use is brewing.
Coffee is brewed into a Hot Drink at a Coffee Machine, using a mug or a teacup and some water. It can also flavour any Hot Drink as an ingredient. Coffee is found in cafes, break rooms, offices and home kitchens.
Eating
Eating a full package of Coffee dry lowers hunger by 30. It also raises thirst by 60 and adds 20 unhappiness. That makes dry coffee a poor choice as food. It holds only 2 calories and 1 gram of protein, so it does nothing for body weight.
The package can be used a portion at a time. Brewing it into a drink is the sensible way to use it.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.
