In Hello Kitty Island Adventure, crafting items for your island visitors is essential to strengthening bonds and progressing through the game. One of the most useful cooking stations is the Espresso Machine, as many NPCs favor the drinks it makes. This guide will walk you through unlocking, upgrading, and fixing the Espresso Machine.
To access the Espresso Machine, you must first unlock it through a quest. The broken Espresso Machine in Hello Kitty’s cafe needs repair, but a working one can be found in the Comedy Club within the Rainbow Reef biome. Here’s how to unlock it:
Acquire a Snorkel: The Comedy Club is underwater. You need a Snorkel to reach it. Follow our guide on "How to Get the Snorkel in Hello Kitty Island Adventure" for quick instructions.
Locate the Comedy Club: Dive underwater in the Rainbow Reef and head towards the Comedy Club, north of the pier behind Chococat’s tent.
Find the Espresso Machine: Inside the Comedy Club, the Espresso Machine is behind the counter to the left.
Upgrading the Espresso Machine allows you to add a second ingredient to your brews, creating more effective gifts for some NPCs. For instance, Cinnamoroll and Kuromi gain the highest friendship points from the Spicy Pumpkin Latte, which requires both a Pumpkin and a Cinna Bloom.
To upgrade the Espresso Machine:
Raise Friendship Level with Hangyodon: Reach Friendship Level 4 with Hangyodon. This level requires relatively low friendship points and no additional quests.
Automatic Upgrade: Hangyodon will automatically upgrade the Espresso Machine upon reaching Level 4.
Traveling to the Comedy Club for coffee can be inconvenient. Fixing the Espresso Machine in Hello Kitty’s cafe will make it more accessible. Here’s how to repair it:
Raise Hangyodon’s Friendship Level: Reach Level 11 friendship with Hangyodon and complete the Fwishing Well quest.
Activate "Espresso Machine Repair" Quest: The quest involves speaking to various characters and visiting different locations.
Talk to Hello Kitty: Start the quest by talking to Hello Kitty in her cafe.
Find Spare Parts: Visit the Comedy Club and speak to Hangyodon, then Keroppi. Head to the Sunken Ship in Rainbow Reef to find a toolbox on the ocean floor.
Complete the Quest: Return to the cafe and let Chococat repair the Espresso Machine.
By unlocking, upgrading, and fixing the Espresso Machine, you can maximize your ability to strengthen bonds with island residents. With this comprehensive guide, you’ll have the tools and knowledge needed to make the most of your Hello Kitty Island Adventure experience. Happy brewing!
