GAMEPLAY
To serve your customers, start by turning the machine on. 
You have to put the coffee somewhere, so add a cup. 
If you don't want what you've made, you can always get rid of it with the reset button. 
Each customer who enters the RoastMaster™ Cafe™ will order one of 6 shades of coffee. The scale starts at Milk. At the bottom, we have Dark Roast and Light Roast. The other shades can be made by mixing these three ingredients together; experiment! 
Be sure to watch the fill line to the left of the cup; too little coffee and your customers will leave unhappy, and too much can cause a mess.
If you want to add a little extra liquid without changing shades, the ice dispenser is here for you! Just drop off few of them in, free of charge, and watch the customer's eyes light up with delight. Or don't, I don't care. 
You'll also notice that you're on a strict timer. That's how we do it here at RoastMaster™. Take too long to serve the customer, and they leave. You'll lose a life, of which you only have 3. Be careful. We do not provide health insurance.
Be sure to slap that ENJOY button at the end to send that drink to the customer in time.
SCORING
Fulfilling a correct order will result in +1 point, multiplied by any active multiplier.
Multipliers are gained by continuing successive combos of orders. Go for the high score! Or honestly chill out and play slow and listen to the soundtrack.

Great theme and I liked the puzzle of figuring out the recipes. I only wish that it was a bit easier to tell where my "cursor" was though. Maybe if the bar were a little larger and didn't flash (or was visible for a bit longer)?
963! Let's GO!
really enjoying the music and the colour palette !
Nice game. The concept is really original, especially for the theme "Dark and Light".
As I can't progress far in the game, I would have liked a slightly longer timer.
