Brewing Coffee in Wanderstop: A Guide

by Max Apr 03,2025

In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive’s enchanting game *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery in the serene setting of a magical forest tea shop. As you manage this cozy retreat, you'll encounter various customers with unique requests, including some who specifically ask for coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. Here’s a detailed guide on how to unlock and master the art of brewing coffee in *Wanderstop*.

Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

In the fourth cycle of *Wanderstop*, a striking, humanoid bird graces your shop, desiring a refined cup of tea. Shortly after serving her, a trio of businessmen named Jerry, Larry, and Terry arrive, all dressed in suits and clutching briefcases, en route to a crucial boardroom presentation. Despite Alta's initial confusion about their destination, these men firmly decline tea, insisting on coffee. Although the shop doesn't initially offer coffee, the businessmen decide to wait it out, hoping their beverage of choice will become available.

Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee beans have never grown in this forest, leading to initial frustration for Alta. The situation shifts dramatically with the arrival of Zenith, an interdimensional figure fascinated by the businessmen. Unlike them, Zenith is open to trying tea, marking a new experience since their only prior reference for "ingredients brewed with hot water" was coffee.

To unlock coffee beans, you'll need to brew Zenith a special cup of tea. This can include anything valuable, from books and trinkets to pots, mugs, small plants (just toss the whole pot into the tea maker), or photographs. After savoring the unique tea, Zenith becomes curious about the distinction between coffee and tea, prompting Alta to mention "coffee beans." This revelation inspires Zenith to use the Infinite Path to introduce coffee beans to the forest, allowing them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Zenith also adds instructions for harvesting and brewing these beans to Alta’s Field Guide.

How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop

Once Zenith summons them, coffee beans will grow wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. Harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds or other objects. You can store them in your ingredients pocket, carry one at a time, or place them 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 delivered by the dish trains to the tea room. To brew, pour water into the tea maker and heat it (or not, depending on the order), then activate the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is sufficient to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, kick the gear to pour the coffee into the kettle below, 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 an additional option for other customers. Even Boro is willing to give it a try, though he admits it's not his favorite.

That’s how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.

*Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.*
