Coffeemaker

A coffeemaker is an object in The Sims and The Sims 2 that raises Energy while lowering Bladder. In The Sims, it's known as Mr. Regular-Joe Coffee, and has an Energy rating of 1 and a Bladder rating of -1. It is always full, and Sims are not charged for using it on residential lots.

In The Sims 2, the coffeemaker is given an Energy rating of 3, and renamed the Extra Pep Coffeemaker. It still has a Bladder rating of -1. In The Sims 2, a Sim will have to "Make Coffee" before anyone will be able to drink it, but there is no charge for doing this. A full pot of coffee holds six cups, and the coffee will be good indefinitely.

In the Sims 3 the coffee machine is available again. It is available in the base game. It's called the Excellent Anson Hot Beverage Maker and is worth $1100 when new and $440 when fully depreciated (after 6 Sim days). The Excellent Anson Hot Berverage Maker has an Energy need rating of 3 but unlike other games does not affect the Bladder need. The Das BrauenMeister and Ultra Lounge Hot Beverage Machine are available at the Sim 3 Store for 75 SimPoints each, both have Energy need of 3. The Sims 3 World Adventures expansion pack contains a new coffee maker. It's called the Juspresso XTi-Frecnch Beverage Maker. It has an Energy need rating of 4. It is worth $1400 when brand new and $560 when fully depreciated. Its description is:

''This beverage maker uses proprietary French technology to ensure the highest quality beverage makes it to your mouth. It's backed by our 30 day no questions asked warranty (unfortunately, the warranty does not apply to this model, as this is the XTi version).''
