It's rare that mud prompts can't be turned off or at the very least
changed. Often times, typing help prompt will give you all sorts of
information about what you can place in your prompt, and what
information it can give you.
I hate long prompts, and generally just change my prompt to a single >
(that's a greater than symbol), because that way I know when the mud is
ready for input, and I generally also tie aliases to other information I
wish to know, like typing hp to tell my current hitpoints, and so on.
I've rarely run into a mud where the prompt wasn't changeable at all. I
don't know what you guys are referring to when you say coffee mud, I'm
assuming it's a particular mud, but that is confusing, because there was
a mud written in java called coffee mud several years ago, so when
someone says coffee mud, it makes me think of the coffee mud written in
java, which is a mud program itself, not a specific mud..
I'm sure the address for coffee mud was mentioned here in the past, but
I had no interest, so didn't bother to note it down.
Perhaps this coffee mud everyone is talking about is the home of the
coffee mud distribution, as in the folks that wrote the java based mud,
but it doesn't sound like that's the case, from all the things that have
been written here.
To my knowledge, the coffee mud java project wasn't ever finished,
though it did work, I took a look at it, and decided it wasn't for me
(as an admin at least)
Anyway, not that I intended to go off on that tangent, check help prompt
to see if it's possible to modify it to make it easier to deal with with
a screen reader.

I also tried coffee mud, but I find it very confusing. As you can’t
turn the prompts off and it is very confusing and there are no screen
reader settings that I can find.

The two I play the most are 3k.org 3000, and their sister mud
3scapes.3k.org 3000, and of course alter aeon, which you probably
already have (alteraeon.com 3000)
Both of those muds have screen reader settings to make the mud easier
to use.
Drop me a line if you loginto 3k or 3scapes, and I'll be happy to
assist where I can.

Bad experience in that mud.
For anyone intent on playing coffeemud I leave you with two tips.
First when going through mudschool, do not accept the quest you will be
offered. Reason for that is dealer in land is impossible to find so the
quest cannot be completed.
Second, when you create a character for coffeemud create several
since the
kill rate in that game is high at low levels and level 6 and below is a
low level.
This way as you retire failed characters, you can play another you
created
earlier. Yes this will mean lots of time in mudschool and a highly
boring
experience for a long time but eventually you'll have all of the
characters you created graduate.
Another advantage of not taking the mudschool quest is you don't have to
start out in asGaard and can have your choice of any of the cities
as each
character leaves mudschool
There's a dungeon in the center of the mudschool arena so if you can
kill
everything in that dungeon and loot the bodies you'll have a little more
money when you graduate. Money is hard to come by though you can
bank it.
Avoid a short man with a clipboard since that's the tax collector. The
tax collector floats around to different locations in the game too.
All my characters got killed and retired in coffeemud so I'll not be
playing that one for quite a while since it wasn't the best experience
with a mud I've had. At least with nethack it doesn't take so long to
build a character before it gets killed not the case with coffeemud.
