In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking rest and recovery while managing a charming tea shop nestled in a magical forest. This serene setting attracts a diverse clientele, some of whom request coffee, an item 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?
(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive) During the fourth cycle of the game, a beautiful humanoid bird visits the shop, seeking a refined cup of tea. Shortly thereafter, three businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry, dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, arrive at the shop. They are en route to a boardroom for a presentation and mistakenly end up at Alta's tea shop. Despite being informed that they are off-course, they decline the offered tea, insisting on coffee. Instead of leaving, they decide to wait until coffee becomes available at the shop.
Boro, the tea shop owner, mentions that coffee has never grown in this forest, leading to initial frustration for Alta. The arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen, changes the situation. While Zenith agrees to try Alta's tea, their only reference for hot water-infused beverages is coffee, making tea a novel experience for them.
How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive) To unlock coffee beans, players must serve Zenith a cup of tea infused with something valuable, which can range from a book to a trinket, a pot, a mug, a small plant, or even a photograph. After tasting the unique tea, Zenith asks about the differences between coffee and tea, leading to a discussion about coffee beans. This prompts Zenith to use the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest, enabling them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Zenith also provides 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 coffee beans start growing in the clearing, players can harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds. These beans can be stored in the ingredients pocket, carried individually, or placed on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground. Before brewing, the beans must be cleaned in the dishwasher and then delivered by the dish trains to the tea room.
To brew coffee, pour water into the tea maker, heat it if required by the order, and then kick the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though additional beans or other ingredients can be added based on customer preferences. After brewing, kick the gear again to pour the coffee into the kettle below, 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 provides a new beverage option for other customers. Even Boro, though not a fan, is willing to give it a try.
That's the complete process to unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in Wanderstop.
Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
