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 finds solace in managing a quaint tea shop nestled within a magical forest. As Alta navigates her journey of rest and recovery, she encounters various customers with unique requests, including the unexpected demand for coffee. Here's a detailed guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in Wanderstop.

Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

In the fourth cycle of Wanderstop, a striking humanoid bird visits the shop, seeking a refined cup of tea. Following her departure, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, arrive at the shop. They are en route to a boardroom for a presentation but find themselves off-course. When offered tea, they decline, insisting on coffee. Despite the shop's lack of coffee, they decide to wait until it becomes 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 hot beverages is 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 tea, Zenith becomes curious about the difference between tea and coffee and asks Alta what is needed to brew the latter. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks a revelation for Zenith.

Utilizing the Infinite Path, Zenith brings coffee beans to the forest, allowing them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing the beans are then added to Alta's Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Coffee beans now grow wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry them in your hand. They can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.

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

To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker and heat it as required. Use the gear to pour the water into the infuser. Only one bean is needed to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. Use the gear again to pour the brew 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 provides another beverage 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.
