In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, a weary fighter seeking solace and recovery in a magical forest. Here, she manages a cozy tea shop that attracts a diverse clientele, some of whom crave coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. Let's explore how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?
During the fourth cycle in *Wanderstop*, a stunning humanoid bird visits the shop, requesting a refined cup of tea. Following her departure, a trio of businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—arrive, all dressed in suits and carrying briefcases, en route to a boardroom presentation. Despite Alta's warning that they're off course, they decline her offer of tea, insisting on coffee. Unwilling to leave without their preferred drink, they decide to wait it out.
Boro, the tea shop's owner, explains that coffee has never grown in this forest, leaving Alta initially frustrated. However, the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith, who is fascinated by the businessmen, changes the game. Unlike the men, Zenith is open to trying 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, 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 unique brew, Zenith becomes curious about the difference between coffee and tea and what's needed to brew coffee for the businessmen. When Alta mentions "coffee beans," Zenith uses the Infinite Path to introduce them to the forest, allowing them to grow in the clearing for the first time. Instructions for harvesting and brewing are then added to Alta's Field Guide.
How to Harvest and Brew Coffee in Wanderstop
Once Zenith summons them, 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. You can also place them on shelves, tables, floors, or the ground outside.
Before brewing, clean the beans in the dishwasher, which will deliver them to the tea room via dish trains. To brew, pour water into the tea maker, heat it if required, and kick the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is enough to brew coffee, though customers might request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, kick the gear again to pour the coffee into the kettle below, then decant it into mugs for serving to customers, Boro, or Alta herself.
Serving 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 his favorite.
That's how you unlock, harvest, and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
*Wanderstop is available for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.*
