In Ivy Road and Annapurna Interactive's *Wanderstop*, players step into the shoes of Alta, an exhausted fighter seeking solace and recovery in a magical forest. Here, she manages a cozy tea shop that attracts a diverse clientele, including some who crave coffee—a beverage not typically on the menu. Here’s a guide on how to unlock and brew coffee in *Wanderstop*.
Which Customers Want Coffee in Wanderstop?

In the fourth cycle of *Wanderstop*, a humanoid bird graces the shop and requests a refined cup of tea. Shortly after, a trio of businessmen—Jerry, Larry, and Terry—arrive. Dressed in suits and clutching briefcases, they're en route to a boardroom presentation. Despite Alta's attempts to redirect them, they insist on staying, as they only drink coffee. Initially, the tea shop owner, Boro, explains that coffee has never grown in the forest, leaving Alta frustrated. However, the arrival of an interdimensional figure named Zenith changes the game. Zenith, fascinated by the businessmen, agrees to try Alta’s tea, marking their first experience with anything other than coffee.

How to Unlock Coffee Beans in Wanderstop
(Ivy Road/Annapurna Interactive)
To unlock coffee beans, brew Zenith a cup of tea infused with something valuable, like a book, trinket, pot, mug, small plant, or photograph. After tasting this unique tea, Zenith becomes curious about the difference between tea and coffee and what it takes to brew the latter for their beloved businessmen. Upon learning about coffee beans from Alta, Zenith channels the Infinite Path, introducing coffee beans to the forest 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
Once Zenith summons them, coffee beans start growing wild in the clearing and respawn randomly. You can harvest them similarly to fruits and seeds, store them in your ingredients pocket, or carry them individually. They can also be placed on various surfaces around the shop. Before brewing, the beans must be cleaned using the dishwasher, after which they are delivered to the tea room by dish trains.
To brew coffee, fill the tea maker with water, heat it if required, and activate the gear to pour the water into the infuser. A single bean is enough to make a cup of coffee, though customers may request additional beans or other ingredients. After brewing, use 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 offers a new 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*.
