Description

Coffee Powder is an Industrial Craft 2 (IC2) food ingredient added by the IC2 Experimental mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.7.10 and 1.12.2. Players obtain Coffee Powder by grinding Coffee Beans in an IC2 Macerator, with each bean yielding 1 unit of powder. The pipeline is short but mod-specific: Coffee Beans come from IC2 crop cross-breeding (reeds → Stick Reed → Ferru, with two bred Ferru crops yielding coffee), and the harvested beans go straight into the Macerator — no furnace roasting is involved at any step. The powder itself is not edible and exists purely as a crafting component. Its single canonical use is brewing Coffee: combine 1 Coffee Powder, 1 Stone Mug and water (a Water Cell or Water Bucket) in the crafting grid to mix Cold Coffee, then warm the Cold Coffee in a furnace. The finished Coffee grants Haste and Speed — 15 extra seconds per cup, with the effects stacking as you drink more. Because Coffee Powder belongs to the IC2 "small content" branch alongside mugs, food and comfort items, it pairs with early-game farming rather than with EU machinery. Bedrock Edition has no equivalent, since IC2 is a Java-only mod. Keeping 6–12 Coffee Powder in a chest near your Macerator is enough to brew a steady supply of coffee for an entire IC2 base.

Java Edition Guide

How to make Coffee Powder in Minecraft (IC2)

  1. 1

    Get Coffee Beans

    Harvest Coffee Beans from IC2 crop sticks: cross-breed Reeds into Stick Reed, then into Ferru — breeding two Ferru crops yields Coffee Beans.

  2. 2

    Power an IC2 Macerator

    Wire an IC2 Macerator to an EU source such as a Generator or Solar Panel; the Macerator uses 2 EU/t (600 EU per operation).

  3. 3

    Grind beans into powder

    Insert Coffee Beans into the Macerator; each bean is ground into 1 Coffee Powder — no furnace roasting is needed.

  4. 4

    Mix Cold Coffee

    Combine 1 Coffee Powder, 1 Stone Mug and a Water Cell or Water Bucket in the crafting grid to mix Cold Coffee.

  5. 5

    Warm up the Coffee

    Warm the Cold Coffee in a furnace; the finished Coffee grants 15 seconds of Haste and Speed per cup, stacking with each drink.

Tip

Stack 6–12 Coffee Powder in a chest next to the Macerator so a full IC2 base always has Coffee ready before long mining trips.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get Coffee Powder in Minecraft?

Harvest Coffee Beans from IC2 cross-bred crops (reeds → Stick Reed → Ferru) and grind them in an IC2 Macerator — no roasting needed, each bean yields 1 Coffee Powder.

Which mod adds Coffee Powder?

Coffee Powder is added by Industrial Craft 2 (IC2 Experimental) for Minecraft Java Edition 1.7.10 and 1.12.2.

What is Coffee Powder used for?

Its main use is brewing Coffee: 1 Coffee Powder, 1 Stone Mug and a Water Cell or Water Bucket mix into Cold Coffee; warming it in a furnace yields a drink granting Haste and Speed, 15 seconds per cup, stacking with each drink.

Can I eat Coffee Powder directly?

No. Coffee Powder is a crafting ingredient only and cannot be consumed by itself — you must brew it into Coffee first.

Do the coffee beans need to be roasted first?

No. Harvested Coffee Beans go straight into the Macerator; the furnace is only used later, to warm the mixed Cold Coffee.

Is Coffee Powder available in Bedrock Edition?

No. IC2 is a Java Edition mod, so Coffee Powder does not exist in Minecraft Bedrock Edition.
