Graha Kopi

Image : For Hadi, who is a law graduate, coffee is the other love of his life, which he realized through Graha Kopi. So if you ever go there, don’t ask “Which coffee is good?” because it will be a rethorical question, especially in this place. Don’t ask “Which coffee is good?” to Hadi Lesmono, […]

It’s the “F” word …

Four years hardly calls for a special celebration, but my assumption about coffee as an endless topic to discuss is correct. From here to there, stories of unheard coffee plantations and unique brewing process and equipments, as well as many inspirational stories have been written on this blog. Some are deep, and the rest are […]

Black Pony at Coffeebeerian

Coffee and beer are finally united in a glass of Black Pony, served at Coffeeberian – a café that has just recently opened at Panglima Polim, South Jakarta. There have been many previous experiments in combining the two beverages, but for some reason they don’t seem to be bonding harmoniously – intensely competing against each […]

Just think of […]

Kopi Item Jogja

I first met Don Dendron (29) at the Indonesian Barista Competition in Jogyakarta, late 2010, and we’ve known each other virtually since. At that time Don had just opened Kopi Item (Red.
