Anomalous Coffee Machine 2 challenges you to experiment and discover an extraordinary number of words, transformations, and drink combinations to unlock its many achievements. Not only is this a test of patience and curiosity, but mastering these mechanics offers one of the most satisfying experiences the game provides. Understanding how to navigate this intricate system makes unlocking achievements both manageable and engaging.
To make things easier, I have created this guide in which you can find all the ACM2 achievement requirements and the combinations needed for the harder ones.
Tip: Some transformations only work when you are in the Base Human form. If a combination does not trigger, drink a Cup of Reset, Cup of Cure, or Cup of Human to return to your normal form.
