The Coffee Machine is a kitchen appliance for brewing a hot cup of coffee. It belongs to Cooking and stands in buildings around the map.
The machine is found in the world as part of a building's furnishings. It can be picked up and moved like other furniture. That lets a survivor carry one back to a base kitchen. Coffee is a comfort drink rather than a meal. A hot cup eases thirst and lifts the mood, which helps on long, grim days in a safehouse.
How to Use Coffee Machine
Brewing runs as a recipe at the machine. Coffee goes in as the main ingredient, along with water drawn from a container. A cup to hold the drink is part of the recipe as well.
The water comes from any container that holds water. The machine takes only a small amount for each brew. A bottle or pot of water kept beside the machine covers many cups.
Crafting Recipes
Brew Coffee is the drink made here, and it comes as a pair of recipes. The first fills a suitable cup with a Hot Drink using Coffee and a little water. The second pours the coffee into a Teacup or Ceramic Teacup, and it uses half as much water.
The first recipe takes a Mug or a metal cup. A Metal Cup, Copper Cup, Silver Cup or Gold Cup all work. Mugs are common on cafe and diner counters and in kitchen cupboards. A Mug can also be sculpted from clay at a Pottery Wheel and fired in a kiln. Metal cups come from the Forge Cup recipe at a Simple Forge or better, with Blacksmithing level 3.
The teacup recipe is the quicker of the two brews. The Ceramic Teacup can be fired from clay through Pottery. The unfired cup is sculpted at a Pottery Wheel from Clay and a Sack of Sand. That gives a base without scavenged cups a way to serve coffee.
Coffee itself is looted rather than grown. Cafe kitchens hold it most often. Break rooms, offices and home kitchens are worth checking too.
The finished Hot Drink is best drunk while it is hot. Once it is finished, the empty cup goes back to the inventory for the next brew.
Every recipe made at the Coffee Machine is listed with what it uses up, the tools it hands back and the skill it asks for. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned before it shows up.

Notes
- Each brew uses five Coffee.
- The teacup version uses less water than the cup version.
- The machine is furniture and can be moved to a new base.
- Search cafe kitchens, break rooms and offices for Coffee.
- Drinking the coffee hands back the empty cup, so a few mugs last a long time.
- Clay mugs and teacups from the Pottery Wheel let a long-term base keep brewing.
