In Project Zomboid, coffee plays a crucial role in satisfying thirst, hunger, and moodles. Coffee is the most commonly consumed beverage in-game due to its simple recipe and benefits. Nevertheless, some players are unaware of how to make coffee. This guide will teach you how to make coffee in Project Zomboid.
Preparation
To make coffee in Project Zomboid, you will need to gather the following ingredients:
1. Coffee
You can find raw coffee on kitchen counters in houses, warehouses and restaurants.
2. Empty Mug
You will require an empty mug to make the coffee, and other containers such as plastic cups or bowls cannot substitute it. You can obtain a mug from kitchen cabinets or grocery stores.
3. Water Source
You will require any water source to make coffee. You can gather water from lakes or rain, but it’s labelled as “tainted” and must be purified first for safety. It’s best to get water from sinks or bathtubs as it’s clean and easily accessible. If you get water from polluted sources, use a kettle or saucepan to purify it by placing it on the heat source. Both can be found on kitchen counters.
4. Heat Source, Sugar and Tea (Optional)
You will need a heat source to make the coffee hot, and an oven is best recommended. The majority of residential houses have an oven, so don’t worry if you’re making coffee indoors! Adding sugar or tea to the recipe helps reduce negative moodles. You can add any type of sugar, such as brown sugar, sugar packs, or sugar, to your coffee mug. Additionally, sugar or tea is primarily found in kitchen cabinets.
