Coffee Craze – Idle Barista Tycoon is a fun incremental idle game where we must manage a cafeteria while continuously looking for new drinks and locations to ensure our monopoly in the coffee industry.

Initially, we speed up progress by tapping the cashier that sells beverages to the endless sea of customers, the counter where coffee is made, and the carrier that transports drinks from the counter to the cashier. When we’ve eventually made enough money, we can upgrade these areas to increase productivity and enjoy the ever-faster idle progression without having to tap as much.

Each counter can only produce one type of drink at a time, so to increase productivity, we can open a free loot box every 4 hours. These reward us with new drinks in different rarities, beans used to level up our drinks, and cashiers with unique abilities. Like in most idle games, there are also lots of opportunities to watch incentivized ads to earn additional rewards.

Apart from the ads, Coffee Craze monetizes by selling a premium currency used to acquire more loot boxes and other types of permanent boosts that speed up progression towards total coffee domination.

Overall, Coffee Craze – Idle Barista Tycoon offers a well-made and uniquely-themed incremental experience that mixes in elements of simulation management games – although progression feels very slow if no iAPs are bought or ads are watched, which will frustrate some fans of the genre.
