15 October update

This guide was prepared from earlier notes. The new build adds world controls, serving staff and further fixes. Check the current patch before following an older procedure.

Start here

Your first check

Day 1 notes penalise beer plus foam at 70% capacity or less. A no-foam comment alone is not a point deduction.

Read the fill feedback → Read the foam comment → Compare one changed pour; suggested observation sequence

Separate the two messages

When a drink receives criticism, record the actual comment before preparing another. An amount complaint and a foam complaint describe different observations. A pour can have several properties at once, so fixing the appearance of its head does not tell you whether you changed the total fill enough. The threshold above describes one documented penalty; it is not a formula for perfect service or proof of a best liquid-to-foam ratio. We do not publish a 7:3 recipe as a measured game rule.

Build a useful pouring comparison

Use one order and the same mug type for a small comparison. Note what the current interaction prompt offers, then record the result after service. On the next comparable order, change only the part you are investigating. If you alter the mug, equipment, timing and fill at once, an improved result cannot tell you which change mattered. A picture of the delivered mug is useful alongside the comment, but a perspective image alone is a poor way to claim a precise volume measurement.

Keep tutorial completion separate from drink quality

A tutorial notification tells you about progress through an instruction; customer feedback tells you about what was served. Read the active objective when learning the dispenser, rather than using an old video as a substitute for the current prompt. If the machine refuses an interaction, stop the scoring experiment and inspect the machine's message. For a co-op problem, record whether the host and joining player see the same door state. That is a diagnostic observation, not a claim that only the host may operate the machine.

Keep a useful comparison

Use this sheet while you check the problem. Tick a row when you have recorded an observation, even if its outcome is still unresolved. Downloading creates a local text snapshot; it does not save your game or send a report.

Questions before you retry

Is exactly 70% outside the penalty?

No. The published condition includes 70% or less.

Does this prove a perfect foam ratio?

No. The official notes checked here do not establish one.

How do I compare two attempts?

Keep the order and mug comparable, change one variable, and preserve the customer comments for both.
