In Hello Kitty Island Adventure, players can craft all kinds of objects and dishes to gift to characters and increase friendship, but one of the necessary appliances to do this, the Espresso Machine, must be unlocked. The Espresso Machine is one of several appliances available to players throughout their journey on the island.
Unfortunately, while some upgrades in Hello Kitty Island Adventure are easily unlocked, the Espresso Machine is not one of them. It will require quite a few steps to be able to use. Unlocking the Espresso Machine from start to finish will likely take a couple of hours of gameplay for those who have not made much progress with friends around the island.
How To Unlock The Diving Ability
First and foremost, the Espresso Machine is underwater. Therefore, players will not be able to reach it unless they can Dive underwater. To unlock this ability, Kuromi needs to reach level 6 friendship, which means that the Spooky Swamp, where she resides, must also be unlocked. The Spooky Swamp can only be opened by completing the Power Up The Gates quest and finding the necessary crystals with Chococat. Once that is open, Kuromi will need to be brought up to level 6 friendship, which likely won't be done in one day due to the three-gifts-a-day limit for each character.
The best way to level up Kuromi's friendship is to bring her some of her favorite gifts in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. This includes all things Fall and Spooky related. One of the easiest options is Pumpkins, as they can be found all over Spooky Island, but it's better to at least turn them into Jack-o-lanterns since they reward more friendship that way. There will be a few quests to complete along the way, but once she is at level 6, the Deep Diving quest will unlock. Complete it to receive the Snorkel plans and then gather the required materials to craft a Snorkel. Once that is done, players can now Dive.
With the diving ability unlocked, don't forget to grab Hello Kitty and Kuromi's Lost Luggage in Hello Kitty Island Adventure. They can both be found underwater and are only retrievable with the Snorkel.
How To Unlock The Espresso Machine
With the ability to Dive in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, it is time to track down Hangyodon. He can be found underwater, hanging out in his comedy club, which contains the Espresso Machine. Go ahead and give him his welcome gift from My Melody to get a little boost to the start of his friendship. Then head over to the left, where there will be a small bar.
The Espresso Machine is just behind it and completely open to use now. However, it does require Candlenut, which is Hangyodon's friendship reward, so be sure to speak with him to build up a small stock of those.
Now head over and begin crafting different drinks with the Espresso Machine. There are 16 different recipe combinations to craft with the Espresso Machine, but all of them will require Candlenut at the base for the coffee. The Espresso Machine can also be upgraded to allow players to craft recipes with more ingredients.
To unlock the upgrade, Hangyodon will need to reach level 4 friendship. He loves anything and everything aquatic, so it shouldn't be hard to level him up. If all else fails, he accepts fish, so players can fish in Hello Kitty Island Adventure for a few minutes and then return. Once he reaches level 4, head over to the Espresso Machine to discover that the appliance has been upgraded.
