Coffee Press is a minimalist coffee delivery game where the whole city is your supply chain. Draw a line from your roastery to a café and your van gets to work – watch shop lights up, and the people drink your coffee. From that first delivery, a living city unfolds. But fresh coffee doesn't wait. Every batch has a peak, and the longer the route, the staler it will be. Keep your routes short and your beans moving, or a shop will go dark and its customers will walk away – and Big Coffee's teal vans will roll in and take over. Lose three cafés and the city is theirs. DRAW YOUR ROUTES One finger is all it takes. Draw a route along real streets and it snaps into place. Change it, add a new stop, or reorder the line whenever you like. Easy to draw, hard to master – a route puzzle that keeps growing with your city. ROAST & BLEND Get green beans from real coffee origins – from safe, steady lowland farms to risky mountain harvests that frost can wipe out. Build blends at the bench, match roasts to each café's taste, and keep your specialty shops stocked with the fine beans they demand. GROW YOUR EMPIRE Kiosks, high-street cafés, specialty rooms, delivery hubs, cold stores, a second roastery across town. A trade boat visits each month with two cards – take one, free. The card you leave behind is the real price. A CITY THAT FEELS ALIVE Customers stroll the pavements, trains bring crowds to your busiest corners, and day fades into lamplit night. Every city is hand-made – start in Melbourne, then print London – each with its own streets, river, and colours. DESIGNED TO BE PICKED UP No walls of text, no tutorials to read. Relaxing when you want it to be, tense when your empire starts to grow! A cozy management sim for fans of route-drawing strategy, transport puzzles, and tycoon games – and for anyone who has ever wondered how the coffee gets there. This app contains a free-to-play version of the game. There is an in-app purchase to unlock the full Coffee Press experience.
