In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's Wanderstop, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery in managing a charming tea shop nestled within a magical forest. As Alta, you'll encounter a diverse array of customers with unique requests, including some who specifically 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, seeking a refined cup of tea. Following her visit, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, clad in suits and carrying briefcases, enter the shop. Their destination is a boardroom where they're set to deliver a presentation. Despite being off-course, they linger in the shop, insisting on coffee over the offered tea.
Boro, the tea shop's owner, reveals that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially stumped on how to satisfy these new patrons. The situation shifts with the arrival of Zenith, an interdimensional being fascinated by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith accepts Alta's offer of tea, intrigued by this new "ingredient brewed with hot water" compared to their familiar coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
To unlock coffee beans, prepare a special cup of tea for Zenith, incorporating something valuable—be it a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. After sampling the tea, Zenith, curious about the distinction between tea and coffee, asks Alta about brewing coffee for the businessmen. Upon learning about coffee beans, Zenith utilizes the Infinite Path to introduce these beans to the forest, enabling them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing are then added to Alta's Field Guide.
How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop
Post-Zenith's intervention, coffee beans start growing wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and you can store them in your ingredients pocket or carry one at a time. They can also be placed on various surfaces around the shop.
Before brewing, coffee beans must be cleaned. Place them in the dishwasher, and await their return via the dish trains in the tea room.
To brew coffee, fill the tea maker with water, heat it if required, and activate the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is enough to brew coffee, though additional beans or ingredients might be requested by customers. Once brewed, kick the gear again to transfer the coffee into the kettle, and then pour it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta herself.
Introducing coffee not only pleases the businessmen but also delights Zenith and provides another beverage option for other customers. Boro, while not a fan, is willing to give it a try.
That's the complete guide on how to unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
