In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's Wanderstop, players take on the role of Alta, a weary fighter who seeks solace in managing a cozy tea shop nestled within a magical forest. As Alta learns to embrace rest and recovery, she encounters various customers, some of whom request coffee, an item not typically offered at the shop. Here's a detailed guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in Wanderstop.

Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

During the fourth cycle of Wanderstop, a humanoid bird arrives at the shop seeking a refined cup of tea. Following her visit, three businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry enter the shop. These men, dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, are en route to a boardroom for a presentation. Despite being off-course, they decide to stay when Alta informs them the shop doesn't serve coffee, hoping it will become available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially frustrated. The situation changes with the arrival of Zenith, an interdimensional figure fascinated by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith is willing to try Alta's tea, marking a new experience since their only reference for "ingredients brewed with hot water" is coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop

To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith with a valuable item, such as a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. After tasting the tea, Zenith, intrigued by the difference between coffee and tea, asks Alta about brewing coffee. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks a revelation for Zenith, who then uses the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest. These beans begin to grow in the clearing, and Zenith adds instructions for harvesting and brewing them to Alta's Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Coffee beans appear randomly in the clearing after Zenith summons them. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry them in your hand. You can also place them on shelves, tables, floors, or outside on the ground.

Before brewing, clean the beans in the dishwasher, which will deliver them to the tea room via dish trains. To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker and heat it if required, then kick the gear to pour water into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. Once brewed, kick the gear to pour the coffee into the kettle and decant it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta.

Introducing coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also delights Zenith and offers a new option for other customers. Even Boro is willing to give it a try, though he admits it's not to his taste.

That's how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
