"Brewing Coffee at Wanderstop: A Guide"

In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's Wanderstop, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary warrior seeking solace in managing a charming tea shop nestled within a magical forest. As Alta learns to embrace rest and recovery, the diverse clientele of the forest brings unique requests to her doorstep, including the challenge of brewing coffee, which isn't a standard offering. 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 beautiful, humanoid bird graces the tea shop with a request for a refined cup of tea. Following her departure, three businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—arrive, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, headed to a boardroom for a presentation. Despite Alta informing them they're off course and offering them tea, they refuse, insisting they only drink coffee. Rather than leaving, they decide to wait until coffee becomes available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially frustrated at her inability to meet the businessmen's needs. The situation shifts with the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith agrees to try Alta's tea, marking a new experience since their only reference for hot water brews is coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop

To unlock coffee beans, make Zenith a special cup of tea using a valuable item as an ingredient. This can range from a book or trinket to a pot, mug, a small potted plant, or even a photograph. After sampling this unique tea, Zenith inquires about the difference between coffee and tea, leading Alta to mention "coffee beans," sparking a revelation for Zenith.

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

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Once summoned by Zenith, coffee beans 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, clean the coffee beans using the dishwasher, and wait for them to be delivered by the dish trains in the tea room.

To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker, heat it as required, and kick the gear to pour it into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though customers may request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, kick the gear to pour the coffee into the kettle, and 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 the complete guide on how to unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
