Everyone needs a pick-me-up sometimes–maybe even more so if they’re living underground after devastating losses to an army of machines. In the Espresso quest in Arc Raiders, you’ll need to go topside and seek out an espresso maker from a cafe in Buried City. If you’re wondering where exactly to go for this caffeine fix, we’ve got you covered.
You’ll need to extract from Buried City and return to Speranza with the espresso machine in your inventory to complete the mission, so it’s smart to bring along an augment with a safe pocket to store the quest item in. A good gun and shield for protection can’t hurt, either.
When you’re ready to get the espresso machine, follow the steps below.
Where to find the espresso machine in Arc Raiders
The espresso machine is located in a cafe in Plaza Rosa in the southern portion of the Buried City map. This area is often swarming with ARC, so it can be a challenge to get in and out unnoticed, especially if you’re also dealing with other raiders questing or looting in the vicinity. Don’t be afraid to take things slow when approaching to stay unnoticed.
The cafe is a red building with a “cafe” sign just above the door.

Head inside this building and check the counter for the espresso machine. Pick it up to add it to your inventory. Afterward, feel free to loot the cafe for any additional items before you extract.

With the espresso machine obtained, you’ll now need to successfully extract with it if you want to complete the quest. You’re in luck, though, because the Souther Station extraction point is literally right in front of the cafe. Just walk outside and drop (or zipline) down into the broken section of the ground, then press the button, wait for the train, and get out of the Buried City alive. You deserve a cup of coffee for all of that hard work.
