In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's Wanderstop, players take on the role of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery in a magical forest. Here, she manages a charming tea shop that attracts a diverse clientele, some of whom crave coffee—a beverage not typically offered. Below is a detailed guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?
(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive)
In the fourth cycle of Wanderstop, a humanoid bird arrives at the shop seeking a refined cup of tea. Following her visit, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry enter the shop. Dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, they are en route to a boardroom for a presentation. Despite being off-course, they refuse Alta's offer of tea, insisting on coffee. They decide to wait until coffee becomes available, despite Boro, the shop owner, stating that coffee has never grown in the forest.
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
(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive)
To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith with 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 how to brew the latter for the businessmen. Alta's mention of "coffee beans" sparks an idea in Zenith, who then uses the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest. Instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans are added to Alta's Field Guide.
How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop
Coffee beans begin to grow wild in the clearing after Zenith's intervention and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, and store them in your ingredients pocket or carry them by hand. They can also be placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.
Before brewing, coffee beans must be cleaned. 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. Add one coffee bean to the infuser (though additional beans or ingredients may be requested by customers). Activate the brewing process by kicking the gear, allowing the brew to pour into the kettle below. Finally, decant the coffee into mugs to serve 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 how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
