Good Coffee Great Coffee is a casual free-to-play video game about running a café, but some of its tasks, such as steaming milk and making iced lattes and iced Americanos, can be really hard to understand.

This guide walks you through the correct instructions for making iced lattes and iced Americanos in Good Coffee Great Coffee, including the best strategy for steaming milk, what a creamy Americano is, and how to make the perfect espresso to keep your customers satisfied and boost your happiness score.

How to Make Espresso in Good Coffee Great Coffee

Here’s how to make the perfect espresso in Good Coffee Great Coffee.

1. Tap a shot glass to place it in the espresso machine.

2. Drag the portafilter to the coffee grinder.

   The portafilter is the name of the part with the handle that you place coffee grinds into.

3. Tap Hold until the coffee grinds fill up the white dotted line area.

4. Swipe down on the tamper to flatten the grinds in the portafilter. 

   The tamper is the object used to push down, or tamp, the coffee grinds. It usually looks like a circular flat weight with a handle.

5. Drag the portafilter to the espresso machine.

6. Tap the green button to begin pouring the espresso shot.

7. Tap the green button again when the slider reaches the green mark.

   Stopping the pour before or after the green mark will lose you points with the customer. The logic behind this is that, in real life, not timing the pour correctly can make the espresso too watery or too strong.

What Is a Creamy Americano in Good Coffee Great Coffee?

In Good Coffee Great Coffee, a creamy Americano is a regular Americano (espresso and hot water in a cup) with a dollop of cream on top. After pouring the espresso into the cup and adding hot water as usual, all you need to do is tap the cream box and then tap the cup to add some cream.

If you don’t see any cream in your game, don’t worry as you won’t get any customers ordering drinks that require cream until you’ve unlocked the ingredient. Cream, and other special toppings such as strawberries and chocolate sprinkles, are usually unlocked after an hour or so of regular gameplay.

How to Steam Milk in Good Coffee Great Coffee

Steaming milk is required for drinks such as the café latte but the process can be a bit finicky. Here’s the easiest way to steam milk in Good Coffee Great Coffee.

1. After you’ve moved your cup to the right side of the counter, tap the milk carton to select it.

2. Perform a long tap on the metal jug to fill it with milk.

3. Drag the jug to the steam wand.

4. Shift the jug slightly upwards so that the steam icon begins to move to the right on the horizontal process bar.

   If the steam icon doesn’t move and the milk starts boiling, you’ve moved the jug too high. Slightly lower the jug a bit until the steam icon starts moving.

5. Once the steam icon hits the yellow bar, push the jug higher to begin heating the milk. The vertical temperature meter should begin to fill and a green bar should also begin filling the horizontal bar.

6. Quickly pull the jug down as soon as both color bars reach the yellow bars in their respective meters.
