Every stop in The Coffee Run hands you a menu of coffees and exactly one of them won’t get you a sarcastic remark in return. I put this list together because I got tired of burning relationship standing on guesses, and because a few of these orders are genuinely counterintuitive — who pairs ketchup cream with butterscotch? If you’re chasing a clean run through Bou’s delivery quest, this is the whole answer key in one place.
One thing worth saying up front: a wrong coffee isn’t a fail state. You lose a sliver of standing with that customer and the drink gets crossed off your list, so you can brute-force your way through if you’d rather see the reactions. I still prefer handing over the right cup the first time, mostly to protect the relationship meters I’m trying to build elsewhere.
Quest Basics
Bou is waiting Friday at Cafe Poccocup, looking for someone to run coffee out across Nivalis. Accept the job and you’ll start making stops, each one presenting a list of drinks to offer. Match the customer to their order and you move on clean.
The quest is structured in batches of four deliveries. Clear a batch, head back to the cafe, and talk to Bou to pick up the next set. I try not to wander off mid-batch, since the return trip is the only way the quest advances.
The Full Delivery List
Here’s every customer and the coffee they actually want. Scan the table before you commit to anything — a couple of these look like traps and basically are.
| Customer | Correct Coffee |
|---|---|
| Elaine Malloy | Algae Infusion |
| Fauxter Glambeat | Octo Shot Espresso |
| Dr Fred Matombo | Strawberry Gateaux Choc Bomb |
| Floyd | Lithium Latte |
| Cale Wyer | Pancake nitro drip with bacon syrup |
| Agent Teleshko | Butterscotch Mocha with Ketchup Cream |
| Cassius Pierrepont IV | Extra Extra Tall Grande Latte |
| Gunger Hahn | Dark Roast coffee and Tuna Croissant |
| Marcelle DeNuite | Blue Cheese Pour Over |
| Ma Gomba | Mushroom Mocha |
| Lily Nightingale | Tequila Corretto |
| Max Mustermann | Black Ultra Grande Latte |
What Trips People Up
The mistake I see most is treating the early coffees as a template. Only Elaine Malloy wants the common drinks — the Algae Infusion, Octo Shot Espresso, Scotch Bonnet Strawberry, and Lithium Latte. Every customer after her wants something custom, so if you’ve already served Elaine, there’s no point trekking back to the cafe hunting for a Lithium Latte on her behalf.
Elaine herself is the sneaky one. She’s picky enough that even the Lithium Latte is wrong for her — the Algae Infusion is what she actually wants. I second-guessed that one the first time and paid for it.
Three customers don’t have a wrong answer at all: Floyd, Gunger Hahn, and Max Mustermann. Just hand over whatever you’ve got and collect your result. No penalty risk there, so don’t overthink those stops.
If you’re also cleaning up side content around the cafe district, my noodle bar guide covers the neighboring spots worth hitting between batches — the walk back to Bou makes it easy to fold in a detour or two.
Should You Experiment?
Handing over the wrong drink just costs a small amount of standing with that customer, and the rejected option disappears from their list so you can try again. So if curiosity gets the better of you and you want to hear the snarky responses, there’s no hard punishment — you’re only trading a little goodwill for the reaction. I’d still steer clear of doing this on customers whose relationship you care about, since standing is slow to rebuild and quick to shave.
Conclusion
Work the batches of four, keep this table open, and the run stays almost effortless. The only two you really need to remember are Elaine and her Algae Infusion, and the fact that everyone after her is a custom order — nail those and the rest falls into place.
