Coffee Rush: Match Ingredients, Serve Drinks and Meet Daily Money Targets

Swap Coffee Ingredients into Matches and Refill the Board

Coffee Rush puts coffee ingredients in the place of gemstones on a Bejeweled-style puzzle board. Coffee beans, milk, sugar, whipped cream and ice cubes are among the items you match, with lightning bolts also appearing in the mix. To make a match, swap two adjacent items so that at least three identical pieces form a straight horizontal or vertical line. The rule combines position and identity: the pieces must be the same kind, and they must line up across a row or down a column.

Completing that line removes the matched items from the board. Additional pieces then fall down to fill the space, replacing the ingredients you have just cleared. Swapping and refilling are therefore two parts of the same process: an adjacent exchange creates the qualifying line, the line disappears, and falling items replenish the board. After a refill, look for matching ingredients in the resulting arrangement and bring them into another horizontal or vertical line of three or more.

Fill Recipe Requirements, Then Click to Serve the Drink

Use the recipe on the right-hand side of the screen to decide which ingredients to collect. Each drink calls for specified quantities, so filling an order means working toward several ingredient requirements rather than simply clearing any available match. A Hey Hey Cafe Latte, for example, might need seven coffee beans, six milks, five sugars and four lightning bolts. Those bolts belong to the recipe requirements alongside the coffee ingredients. For this example, collecting the beans alone is not enough: the milk, sugar and lightning-bolt minimums must also be met before the drink is ready.

Once you have collected the required quantities, click the finished drink to give it to the waiting customer. This makes recipe completion and serving separate actions: matching supplies the ingredients, while clicking hands over the prepared order. Read the listed amounts as minimums to reach, not as a request for one match of each ingredient. In the latte example, a single three-bean match would still leave beans to collect, as well as the other requirements. Work through the recipe quantities, then follow ingredient collection with the serving click.

Meet the Daily Money Target to Advance—or Repeat the Day

Coffee Rush makes daily earnings the condition for advancing to the next level. You must earn a specified amount of money by the end of the day, combining a financial target with a deadline. Simply reaching the day's end is not enough: the money requirement must also be met before you can move forward. The objective is therefore an earnings total for the day, rather than completion of the day alone.

If you finish below the required amount, you must repeat the day instead of advancing. The end-of-day result has two outcomes: meeting the money target opens the next level, while missing it leaves that day to be attempted again. This deadline-based earnings requirement gives Coffee Rush its time-management-style structure. Progress is decided day by day, with the required money total separating a cleared day from one you must repeat.

Upgrade Your Coffee Shop and Take Back Town from Smokestack

Coffee Rush gives your coffee business four upgrade categories: the shop itself, recipes, treats and bonuses. Shop upgrades concern the business you open, while recipe upgrades concern its drinks menu; treats and bonuses are separate categories you can also improve. The scope of upgrading therefore extends beyond the premises, covering both the coffee shop and the recipes, treats and bonuses associated with it.

Your shop also has a rival: the Smokestack Coffee Company, whose cafes dominate areas of town. Opening your own coffee shop is the starting point for taking those areas back. The conflict is framed around coffee, with Smokestack accused of polluting the town with bad brews. Running your own business serves that larger objective: reclaiming the town from the company and its cafes.
