In *Wanderstop* by Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter who finds solace in managing a charming tea shop nestled in a magical forest. As Alta, you'll encounter a diverse array of customers, some of whom crave coffee despite it not being a standard menu item. Here's your 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 arrives and requests a refined cup of tea. Following her visit, three businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, all in suits and ties, enter the shop. They're en route to a boardroom for a presentation but find themselves off-course. When offered tea, they decline, insisting on coffee instead. Despite the shop not serving coffee, they choose to wait, 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 arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen, changes the situation. Unlike the men, Zenith accepts Alta's offer of tea, intrigued by this new experience compared to their usual coffee.
How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith using a valuable item—such as a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. After tasting the unique tea, Zenith becomes curious about the difference between coffee and tea. When Alta mentions "coffee beans," Zenith uses the Infinite Path to summon coffee beans into the forest for the first time. These beans start growing in the clearing, with instructions for their harvest and brewing added to Alta's Field Guide.
How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop
Coffee beans appear randomly in the clearing after Zenith introduces them. Harvest them just like fruits and seeds, and you can store them in your ingredients pocket, carry them in your hand, or place them on various surfaces. Before brewing, clean the beans in the dishwasher, where they'll be delivered by dish trains to the tea room.
To brew coffee, fill the tea maker with water and heat it according to the order. Use the gear to pour the water into the infuser, then add a single coffee bean (or more, depending on the request). Kick the gear again to pour the brew into the kettle below, and finally, decant it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta herself.
Serving coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also delights Zenith and provides an alternative beverage option for other customers. Even Boro, though not a fan, is willing to give it a try.
That's the complete guide on unlocking, harvesting, and brewing coffee in *Wanderstop*.
