In Jakarta, I fell back in love with coffee
World of Coffee Jakarta wasn’t just an industry event—it was a cultural reset. From heartfelt conversations with taxi drivers to meaningful trade deals and unforgettable visits to cafés like Suasana, Braud, Fuglen, and Common Grounds, the trip reminded me why I fell in love with specialty coffee in the first place. In a world where coffee culture often feels performative, Jakarta felt honest. This reflection isn’t a recap—it’s a personal reminder of what coffee can still mean.
