No ads. Ever. Premium farming, the cozy way. Run a coffee farm and climb out of the commodity market, one picking pass at a time. Watch the cherries ripen on the branch, then decide how to pick: take only the ripe ones in a selective pass, wait a month for more to turn, or strip the branch for volume. Every lot climbs the buyer ladder. The Local Buyer takes anything, the Growers Cooperative pays steady prices, the Specialty Exporter wants consistency, and the Direct Trade Roaster deals only in the best lots. Reputation builds harvest by harvest and opens the top buyers. Every lot goes to the cupping table: cuppers score it out of 100, attribute by attribute, and 80+ is specialty. The world coffee price rises and falls each year. Commercial lots take the full swing; the better the grade, the less of it your lot feels. Between harvests, every season is a decision: prune, irrigate, scout for disease, feed the trees through cherry fill. Then process your lot washed, natural or honey, and dry it on patios, raised beds or in a mechanical dryer. Rain can catch a lot on the patio; the dryer is your insurance. Each choice shapes the cup and the price. Play your way: - Quick: 5 years, season by season - Full Arc: 15 years, season by season, as your trees grow, peak and age - Endless: no end year Features: - A cupping table: every lot scored on ten attributes, with tasting notes from its origin - A world coffee price that moves every year; quality softens the swing - Picking passes across the three harvest months - Pick by Feel: pick a branch with your fingers. Ripe cherries pop, green ones hold on, and on iPhone you feel each one - A buyer ladder that shows how far each lot is from the next buyer - Four regions and four varieties, each with its own ceiling on the ladder - Washed, natural and honey processing, three drying methods with real rain risk, and variety synergies - A year summary that names what held your harvest back, and a plan that recommends the fix - An ending with a shelf of every lot you sold and a title earned from the best buyer you reached - Achievements, records and legacy titles across playthroughs - 19 achievements in Game Center, from your first specialty lot to a retired estate - A fast first cup: a new farm opens at harvest time, so your first lot is picked, dried and cupped within a few decisions - Playable offline, in 10 languages Two regions are free to play. Additional regions and an all-regions bundle (with full market intel, a maturity forecast, and extra save slots) are available as optional in-app purchases. No ads, ever — not even a rewarded-video option. There's also an entirely optional Roaster's Patron pack for players who just want to support development.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Coffee Farm Sim at 5.0 against Mini Mine's 4.1. Mini Mine's advantage is ratings volume (143 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
