Wanderstop Coffee Brewing Guide

In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's enchanting game, *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, an exhausted fighter who has turned to managing a cozy tea shop nestled within a magical forest. This serene setting not only provides a backdrop for rest and recovery but also attracts a diverse array of customers, each with unique requests, including the ever-popular coffee, which isn't typically on the menu. Here's how you can unlock and brew coffee to meet these demands in *Wanderstop*.

Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive) During the game's fourth cycle, a stunning humanoid bird graces the tea shop, seeking a refined cup of tea. After serving her, Alta encounters three businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—who are clad in suits and ties and carry nondescript briefcases. These men are on their way to a boardroom for a presentation, but find themselves far off course. When offered tea, they decline, insisting they only drink coffee. Despite the shop's lack of coffee, they choose to wait, hoping it will eventually be available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this magical forest, leaving Alta frustrated. However, the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen, changes everything. Unlike the men, Zenith accepts Alta's offer of tea, experiencing it as a novel alternative to coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop

(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive) To unlock coffee beans, you need to serve Zenith a cup of tea infused with something valuable. This can be a book, a trinket, a pot, a mug, a small plant (yes, the whole pot), or even a photograph. After tasting this unique brew, Zenith, curious about the difference between coffee and tea, prompts Alta to explain that coffee requires beans. This revelation leads Zenith to channel the Infinite Path, summoning coffee beans to grow in the forest's clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans are then added to Alta's Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

After Zenith's intervention, coffee beans begin to grow wild in the clearing, respawning randomly. You can harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, storing them in your ingredients pocket or carrying one at a time. They can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.

Before brewing, the beans must be cleaned. Use the dishwasher to remove the dirt, and wait for them to be delivered to the tea room by the dish trains. To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker, heat it if required, and kick the gear to pour the water into the infuser. Coffee only needs one bean, though additional beans or other ingredients may be requested by customers. Once brewed, kick the gear again to pour the coffee into the kettle below, then decant it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta herself.

Serving 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 his favorite.

That's how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop, enhancing the experience of managing the tea shop in this magical forest.
