In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace in managing a charming tea shop nestled within a magical forest. As Alta, players must cater to a diverse clientele, including those who surprisingly request coffee, which isn't typically on the menu. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?
During the fourth cycle in *Wanderstop*, a stunning humanoid bird visits the shop, seeking a sophisticated cup of tea. Following this, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, clad in suits and clutching briefcases, arrive. Their destination is a boardroom for a crucial presentation. Despite Alta pointing out they're off course, they decline her offer of tea, insisting on coffee instead. Initially, they seem stranded as the shop doesn't serve coffee, but they choose to wait it out.
Boro, the shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially frustrated. However, the arrival of Zenith, an interdimensional being trailing the businessmen, shifts the dynamics. Zenith is enamored with the businessmen and, unlike them, agrees to try Alta's tea. This experience sparks Zenith's curiosity about the differences between tea and coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
To unlock coffee beans, serve Zenith a cup of tea infused with something valuable, such as a book, trinket, pot, mug, a small plant, or a photograph. After tasting this unique brew, Zenith, intrigued by the distinction between coffee and tea, asks Alta about the requirements for brewing coffee. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks a revelation for Zenith.
Utilizing the Infinite Path, Zenith introduces coffee beans to the forest, enabling them to grow in the clearing. Detailed instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans are then added to Alta's Field Guide.
How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop
Once introduced, coffee beans will grow wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry one in your hand. They can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.
Before brewing, clean the beans using the dishwasher, which delivers them to the tea room via dish trains. To brew, fill the tea maker with water, heat it as required, and activate the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, transfer the coffee to the kettle and then into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta herself.
Introducing coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also delights Zenith and offers a new choice for other customers. Even Boro, though not a fan, is willing to give it a try.
That's the complete process to unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
