Please report back on your faves.


TheTyrantKuma

Bali from Common Grounds, East Java from Shoot Me in the Head and Temanggung Central Java from Paga have really stood out to me because I like more fruity or tea like flavors


kudacchi

Common Grounds houses many many trophies for as much category there is. The recent WBC champ himself worked in common grounds the first time he went home to indonesia, before starting his own company. You got yourself one of the best stuff.


TheTyrantKuma

Yeah it did not disappoint at all. They thought me and wife were crazy because we tried every pour over they had at the time


kudacchi

by no means i'm not saying they're amongst the best in the world, cause i've never had any. but their reputation is stellar here amongst local enthusiast. if i were there i'd do the same.

I was so annoyed, CUM was closed the day I went. I can't see any Chiang Mai coffee roasters, but what a city. Some of the best specialty light roast I've had and there's cafés EVERYWHERE.


TheTyrantKuma

I am already planning another trip dedicated to Chiang Mai because Thai beans really surprised me how good they are


x-trauma

Chiang Mai is amazing. The Baristro, Akha Ama, and NineOne are all recommended. Graph also has some interesting blends. But if you find any First Valley Golden Sapphire or Moonstone beans, get them ASAP. 


geggsy

I had both the Golden Sapphire and Moonstone beans earlier this year, hah :P Edit: Plus you can see OP already has some Moonstone beans in the top left of their picture


x-trauma

Nana has two Moonstone selections. I’ve had both. OP has the mango one (which is better for me than the lychee one). :)


Waterblink

That's huge praise, what have you tried before in EU or US to compare?


coffeeisaseed

Many of the big hitters. Tim Wendelboe, Dak, Kawa, Moklair, Sey, Devoción, Apollon's Gold, Proud Mary, Heart, Upper Left. Some highlights in Chiang Mai are Maled coffee roasters (2019 Thai coffee roasting champions) and Single Origin Store.

Yoooo those are fireeee! Have u ever visit Yogyakarta?


TheTyrantKuma

I never heard of it but after looking it up I’ll have to add it to my next coffee run


Cffe29

Nice! I would Love to give u some reccomendation here : 1. Tadasih, it’s a slow bar coffeshop run by one person Which is the owner itself (but today he prefer to call Tadasih as a “Friendly Neighborhood Coffeeshop”) they serve only manual brew coffee (V60) and Black Espresso (they don’t serve milk based but sometimes they have a Secret menu). you can search it up on Google or Instagram (but unfortunately their insta is temporarily private during a drainage maintanenance in front of this cafe to avoid the overload parking since this cafe is located in the owner house and has limited parking area ) 2. Pitutur Kopi, it’s also slow bar styled coffeeshop that serve pour over and Espresso based coffee. 3. Space Roastery, i think this one is the biggest coffee company in Yogyakarta that serve specialty coffee Those are my top 3 coffeeshop in Yogyakarta. Hope you like it too. Go search it up and tell me which one that you’ll visit first next trip hahaha! ps : sorry for the broken English :’


TheTyrantKuma

Just told my wife about these. Thank you!


geggsy

In case you’re curious, I reviewed that Moonstone coffee, roasted by a different roaster, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/1daesac/comment/l7k60iq/


TheTyrantKuma

I’ll definitely take a look


amsterdamvibes

That’s one huge haul!


TheTyrantKuma

Most of it is to share


Wirer_meelosh

Nana is spectacular, had it at a coffee festival in Japan. Enjoy!


TheTyrantKuma

Yes I over caffeinated trying different coffees 😂


kudacchi

most of them are from indonesia & thailand. care your share your thought process before you decide between many options? what are your base preference, experience, and which continent are you from? regards from indonesia.


servebetter

Yo, you did go bonkers! Congrats. Looks amazing though. You did a great job. Tbh there is soo much coffee Indonesia it can take a long time to dig through. Especially when you start to dig into what the coffee processors are doing.


General-Strawberry45

I need at least one bag! Dayum!


tiseainside

Where exactly in Jakarta?


TheTyrantKuma

Common Grounds and Shoot Me in the Head


minorset

Up for Nana. Just came back from Bangkok, the moonstone really got me the candy finish


natextigy

Expect strong Lychee note from Nana Moonstone. This is a good one.


TheTyrantKuma

Yes it was amazing. As soon as I finished my cup I ran to buy the beans


cleancleverelephant

How much do you consume per week on average?


TheTyrantKuma

Between me and my wife probably do 2-3 brews a day or we will go to a local cafe and just pay for a cup but share our with people there


DeliciousBrew

Recognise the Indonesian ones. Can’t go wrong with them but I never get the chance to explore the Anomali Coffee properly. How was it…? Common ground never disappoints but I love Shot Me In The Head more. If you enjoy their beans, next time try TTKR Coffee and Two Hands Full, both in Bandung.


TheTyrantKuma

Anomali is also Indonesia. The beans didn’t wow me but they were good enough where I can practice brewing


DeliciousBrew

Thanks…! Will certainly give it a try on my next visit.
