## What is Coffee?

Coffee Roaster – The Ultimate Solo Board Game Experience

Become a master roaster! Follow your instincts, perfect the roast, and brew the ultimate cup of coffee in this official digital adaptation of the critically acclaimed solo board game.

Are you a true coffee junkie who can’t start the day without a perfect brew? Or a board game enthusiast looking for a deep, rewarding solo challenge? Coffee Roaster brings the beloved tabletop experience by Saashi & Saashi (published by dlp games) straight to your mobile device!

In this tactical pool-building game, you hold the destiny of the beans in your hands. Your mission: turn hard, green beans into a flawless roast, eliminate imperfections, and time your final brew to perfection.

Do you have the nose and the strategy to achieve the perfect cup?

 HOW TO PLAY

Your journey from bean to cup takes place in two distinct, thrilling phases:

The Roasting Phase: You start with a bag of raw, uneven coffee beans. Turn by turn, you draw tokens from your bag to advance the roasting level. Use your skills to roast evenly, remove unfavorable bad beans, and leverage special effects to steer the roasting process in the right direction. But watch out! Roast too long, and your precious beans will burn!

    The Decisive Cup Test: Once you stop the roasting process at the ideal moment, it’s time for the ultimate evaluation. Brew your freshly roasted beans and pull tokens from the bag to fill your coffee cup. Will your creation satisfy the demanding taste of a true Master Roaster?

GAME FEATURES

    Official Digital Adaptation: Experience the full depth of the hit solo board game by Saashi & Saashi, beautifully re-imagined for mobile play.

    Endless Replayability: With distinct roasting targets for every variety, no two games are ever the same. Mix and match your strategies for countless roasting tasks.

    Weekly High Score Leaderboards: Think you’re the best roaster in town? Compete with a global community of players in our weekly challenges and climb to the top of the high-score list!

    Unlock Achievements: Prove your expertise by collecting a wide variety of achievements as you progress from a novice hobbyist to a legendary Coffee Guru.

### 5/5 — 재밌어요

*2026-05-28*

한글은 아니지만 한글화가 필요 없는 게임이라 괜찮습니다. 다만 설정이 없어서 좀 답답해요. 진행 속도를 좀 올리고 싶은데 설정메뉴 자체가 없는 게임은 처음이네요.

### 1/5 — Game is broken!!!

*2022-11-24, version 1.3*

Still no update after 3 years - Will not allow you to use the flavour tokens making the game impossible to play correctly

### 1/5 — Schade - Fehler wird nicht behoben - Geld rausgeschmissen

*2022-03-02*

Schon blöd, dass man für iPhone und iPad jedes Mal wieder zahlen muss. Noch blöder, wenn das dann nicht mal spielbar ist. Und seit 2 Jahren wird nichts mehr gemacht! Wirklich schade um die Arbeit, die da schon rein gesteckt wurde. Alles umsonst. Und so schade, denn das ist eigentlich ein schönes Spiel und auch die Umsetzung ist schön, - aber, wenn die Hälfte der Funktionen nicht aktivierbar sind, dann war alles für die Katz. Und für diejenigen, die das Spiel gekauft haben, extrem ärgerlich. Diesen Entwickler werde ich von nun an meiden.

### 1/5 — バグが多い

*2022-02-13*

置けるはずのチップが置けません。
対応をお願いします。

### 1/5 — Nicht am Notch angepasst.

*2022-01-30*

Warum ist diese App überhaupt noch im Store? Auf einem iPhone 12 sie kaum benutzbar. Es hat praktisch keine Anpassung an moderne Bildschirme gegeben. Schade, ich hatte mich auf das Spiel gefreut.

### 3/5 — Weak coffee

*2021-11-27, version 1.3*

The game itself is inherently too random for my liking, but the port is also weak. The documentation feels like it's been run through the languages in a translation program, there's no way to pick the brew or the level, and the animations need to be disabled.

### 2/5 — So nicht spielbar

*2021-05-22*

Die Tasseneffekte lassen sich nicht aktivieren und die Spielanleitung versetzt einen nicht wirklich in die Lage, das Spiel zu verstehen.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2021-04-09*

I’m not sure why people are complaining about this game, it’s not buggy and the randomness is fine. This game follows the board game rules and there are specific action windows where you can only do certain things.  This game is a great rendition!

### 2/5 — Outdated and buggy

*2021-03-23*

I’ve been wanting to play this solo game for quite some time, but the physical box is too expensive for what the game offers. I was excited to see an app version!

Unfortunately, the app has several bugs. First, it offers you three ways to play 1x, 3x, and expert. The expert option is locked, but they give you no information on how to unlock it. I’m assuming that you have to complete the achievements. Secondly, the achievements aren’t always recognized. I’ve met the requirements for a few of them while playing, but they weren’t awarded. Third, when you place a flavor token in the right hand column for an effect, it locks you out of the left hand column (immediate effects).

In regards to design, the game has several user design issues.  First, there are no prompts when playing that makes it difficult for a first time player to understand what to do. Secondly, the Roasting button is really hard to use. Your finger tends to cover up the options they show you when you start to drag it. There was plenty of room for them to just show 2 small buttons (roasting, roasting and cupping). Secondly, it’s a pain to constantly click on the coffee recipe to remember the flavor tokens and roasting level.  They could easily identify these things on the main screen. Thirdly, when clicking to see what’s in the bag, your finger covers up the disk play making it hard to see the token counts. Fourthly, when playing the wild/joker token on a wild space it’s impossible to see the three token choices, let alone actually select the one you want. Fifthly, they ha ent updated the game to work on modern iPhones.  The top of the screen is cut off by the phone’s speaker. Lastly, it’s sad that I can’t just select a coffee recipe and play with that. I’m assuming that’s part of the “expert” mode, but I may never know. 

That said, I really like the game! I just wish the interface was more intuitive and less buggy.

### 2/5 — Does not save stats, cannot turn off tutorial

*2021-02-28*

This game is not that great. I purchased it to see if I would like the physical board game. Well it saved me $35!
This app is just poorly designed and the constant tutorial that can’t be turned off is annoying. It doesn’t save any of my scores or plays so there is no way to see if you are getting “better” at playing the game.
It’s just a dull game where many of the rounds you are pulling chits out of the bag to just put them back in for the upgrade. It really fell flat for me.
The positive is that it helped me avoid buying the physical copy, that’s why it gets 2 stars.
