In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's Wanderstop, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery by managing a charming tea shop nestled in a magical forest. This serene setting draws a diverse clientele, some of whom surprisingly crave coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. Here's a comprehensive 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 visits the shop, requesting a refined cup of tea. Shortly after serving her, Alta encounters a trio of businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, en route to a boardroom presentation. Despite Alta's attempts to redirect them, they insist on staying, refusing her tea offerings as they only drink coffee.
Boro, the tea shop's owner, reveals that coffee has never grown in this forest, initially leaving Alta frustrated and seemingly unable to cater to the businessmen's needs. The arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith changes the game. Fascinated by the businessmen, Zenith agrees to try Alta's tea, experiencing it as a novel alternative to their usual coffee.
How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
To unlock coffee beans, prepare a cup of tea for Zenith infused with something valuable, be it a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. Upon tasting the tea, Zenith becomes curious about the distinction between tea and coffee, prompting Alta to mention "coffee beans." Inspired, Zenith uses the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest, allowing 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
After Zenith's intervention, coffee beans begin to grow wild in the clearing, respawning 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. Place them in the dishwasher and wait for them to be transported to the tea room via dish trains. To brew, pour water into the tea maker, heat it as needed, then activate the gear to pour the water into the infuser. Only one bean is necessary to brew coffee, though additional beans or other ingredients can be used according to customer preferences. Use the gear again to pour the brew into the kettle and then decant it into mugs for serving.
Serving coffee not only satisfies the businessmen but also delights Zenith and provides an additional 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.
