Brew Perfect Coffee at Wanderstop: A Guide

In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players take on the role of Alta, a weary fighter who transitions to managing a serene tea shop nestled in a magical forest. As Alta seeks rest and recovery, the shop attracts a diverse clientele, some of whom request coffee, an item not typically on the menu. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.

Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

In the fourth cycle of *Wanderstop*, a stunning humanoid bird arrives at the shop, requesting a refined cup of tea. Soon after, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, all dressed in suits and ties and clutching nondescript briefcases, enter the shop. They're en route to a boardroom presentation but find themselves far off course. When Alta offers them tea, they decline, insisting they only drink coffee. Despite the shop's lack of coffee, they decide to wait it out, hoping coffee will become available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta frustrated about meeting the businessmen's needs. The situation shifts with the arrival of Zenith, an interdimensional figure fascinated by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith agrees to try Alta's tea, intrigued by the concept of "ingredients brewed with hot water," having only known coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop

To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith with an unusual ingredient. This could be anything from a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or even a photograph. After savoring the unique tea, Zenith, curious about the distinction between coffee and tea, asks Alta what's needed to brew coffee for the businessmen. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks a revelation for Zenith.

Utilizing the Infinite Path, Zenith brings coffee beans to the forest, where they begin to grow in the clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans are added to Alta’s Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Once Zenith summons them, coffee beans start growing wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. To harvest them, simply pick them up like you would fruits or seeds. You can store them in your ingredients pocket or carry one in your hand, and they can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.

Before brewing, the beans must be cleaned. Place them in the dishwasher and wait for them to be delivered back to the tea room via the dish trains.

To brew coffee, fill the tea maker with water and heat it as needed. Then, 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, 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.

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*.
