Quick Answer
Go to Caffe Da Rosa in Plaza Rosa, southern Buried City, directly south of Town Hall. The espresso machine is on the counter.
- Interact with the machine to salvage it.
- Pick up the Espresso Machine Parts that appear separately on the counter.
- Safe-pocket the parts if your augment allows it.
- Extract at nearby Southern Station and hand the parts in at Speranza.
Espresso Requirements
Complete Bees! before taking Espresso. Bring an augment with a safe pocket if possible because you must extract with the parts; a free loadout does not provide the same protection.
Clear enough inventory space for the quest item before entering the cafe. A practical weapon and healing are also worthwhile because southern Buried City can have both ARC patrols and raider traffic.
Where to Find the Espresso Machine at Caffe Da Rosa
Caffe Da Rosa is at Plaza Rosa in southern Buried City, directly south of Town Hall. Look for a red street-level cafe with a Caffe Da Rosa sign above the doorway; the machine is on the counter inside.
Do not confuse Plaza Rosa with Piazza Roma. For nearby quest routing, Communication Hideout uses the Red Tower by Plaza Rosa.
How to Get the Espresso Machine Parts
Interact with the espresso machine to salvage it, then pick up the Espresso Machine Parts from the counter. The parts are not secured automatically when you use the machine.
- Salvage the machine with the interaction prompt.
- Look at the counter for the spawned quest item.
- Pick up the Espresso Machine Parts.
- Move them to a safe pocket immediately if you have one.
Espresso Machine Parts are not the Coffee Pot Trinket. The trinket can appear in ordinary containers, but it does not replace the quest item.
Every Other Espresso Machine Location
| Map | POI | Position within the POI |
|---|---|---|
| Buried City | Il Maiale Dorato trattoria | Cafe/trattoria just south of the highway. |
| Buried City | Corso da Vinci / Santa Maria Houses area | Corner cafe beside an alley on the connecting street. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Ruby Residence | Top-floor kitchens. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Pale Apartments | Top-floor kitchens. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Research and Administration | Lobby and cafeteria. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Testing Annex | Reception near the red lockers or upper floors. |
Caffe Da Rosa is the simplest quest route because it is close to Southern Station. If you use a backup machine, confirm that it produces the quest parts before committing to the rest of the run.
How to Extract with the Parts
Southern Station is directly outside the Caffe Da Rosa area and is the fastest extraction for the main route. Leave the cafe, move toward the broken ground, then drop or use the short zipline into the sinkhole and activate the extraction.
Dying with unprotected parts, or extracting after forgetting to pick them up from the counter, means you will need another run.
Espresso Rewards
| Reward | Type | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Adrenaline Shots | Consumable | Named reward associated with quest completion. |
The more important progression reward is access to the next quest in Apollo's chain.
What Comes After Espresso
Life of a Pharmacist unlocks after Espresso. Finish the extraction and hand-in first, then continue with that quest from the next stage of the chain.
Other Quests Around Plaza Rosa
Several live quest pages use the same part of Buried City, so Espresso is easy to stack. Communication Hideout is at the Red Tower by Plaza Rosa, Digging Up Dirt uses the Santa Maria Houses, and Eyes on the Prize is on the terrace southwest of Plaza Rosa.
