Brew Perfect Coffee with Wanderstop: A Guide

In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's enchanting game, *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery. As Alta, you manage a cozy tea shop nestled in a magical forest, catering to a diverse clientele with unique preferences, including some who crave coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. 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 stunning humanoid bird graces the shop, requesting a refined cup of tea. Soon after, a trio of businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—arrive, each dressed in suits and ties, clutching briefcases. They're en route to a boardroom presentation but find themselves at your tea shop instead. Alta quickly points out their mistake, but when she offers them tea, they politely decline, insisting they only drink coffee. Despite the shop's lack of coffee, they decide to linger, hoping it will become available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, informs Alta that coffee has never grown in this forest, initially leaving her frustrated. However, the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is tracking the businessmen, brings a change. Zenith is enamored with the businessmen and finds them utterly fascinating. Unlike them, Zenith accepts Alta's offer of tea, experiencing the beverage for the first time since their only reference for "ingredients brewed with hot water" is coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop

To unlock coffee beans, you must serve Zenith a cup of tea infused with something valuable. This could be a book, a trinket, a pot, a mug, a small potted plant, or even a photograph. After sampling the tea, Zenith becomes curious about the distinction between coffee and tea and what's needed to brew coffee for the businessmen. When Alta mentions "coffee beans," it sparks an epiphany for Zenith.

Utilizing the Infinite Path, Zenith summons coffee beans to the forest, enabling them to grow in the clearing for the first time. They also provide Alta with instructions on harvesting and brewing the beans, which are added to her Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Once summoned by Zenith, coffee beans begin to grow wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to how you collect fruits, seeds, or other objects. You can store them in your ingredients pocket, carry one at a time in your hand, or place them on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.

Before brewing, the beans must be cleaned due to the dirt covering them. Use the dishwasher and wait for the cleaned beans to be delivered by the dish trains in the tea room.

To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker and heat it as required by the order. Kick the gear to pour the water into the infuser. Coffee only needs one bean to brew, though customers may request additional beans or other ingredients. Kick the gear again to pour the brew into the kettle below, and then decant it into mugs to serve 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*. Enjoy the new addition to your tea shop's offerings and the joy it brings to your patrons!
