FAQ

Questions, answered

What is Tapuchino?

Tapuchino is a coffee shop tycoon game for iOS and Android. You grind beans, brew cups and serve customers by tapping each station, then reinvest in upgrades and supplier contracts to grow one small cart into a full cafe.

Is Tapuchino free?

Yes. Tapuchino is free to download on the App Store and Google Play.

How is Tapuchino different from other idle coffee games?

Start with a tiny coffee cart. Brew the first cups, hire your dream team, and grow a café that keeps earning while you're away. Hire staff to unlock offline earnings. Come back to coins from your café, with a four-hour base earning window. Your crew and upgrades shape your progress.

Who is Mr. Luwak?

Mr. Luwak is your in-game guide: a semi-retired coffee legend with strong opinions about naps. He walks you through your first grind, your first sale and your first contract, hands out goals with real rewards, then steps aside and lets you run the cafe.

Does Tapuchino earn while you are away?

Hire staff to unlock offline earnings. Come back to coins from your café, with a four-hour base earning window. Your crew and upgrades shape your progress. Build beyond your first café. Open in Warsaw, Tokyo and New York, then collect earnings from your other cafés on the world map.

What devices does Tapuchino run on?

Tapuchino runs on iOS and Android, on phones and tablets. It is played in portrait, one-handed, and built for short sessions rather than long grinding: you can open it for two minutes between other things and still move forward. It is single-player throughout, with no multiplayer mode, no chat and no leaderboards to keep up with.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account and no login. Tapuchino has no sign-up, no cloud save and no chat, and your progress is stored on your own device rather than on a server. A connection is used for advertising and for validating in-app purchases, but the cafe itself stays on your phone. Deleting the app deletes the save with it.

What languages is Tapuchino available in?

Ten: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese and Russian. The game itself is translated, not only the store listing, so menus, goals and Mr. Luwak's dialogue all read in your language.

Does Tapuchino have ads or in-app purchases?

Both. Tapuchino is free to play, supported by advertising and by in-app purchases you never have to make. Purchases are processed by the App Store and Google Play, so card details never reach the developer, and refunds are handled by whichever store you bought from rather than by us.

How far does one coffee cart go?

Build beyond your first café. Open in Warsaw, Tokyo and New York, then collect earnings from your other cafés on the world map.

Free to download. Built for short bursts — a spare two minutes is a real session.
