Fligen Coffee Roaster

jakarta has developed one of the more serious specialty coffee scenes in southeast asia over the past decade, with roasters pushing well past commodity blends into single-origin territory and careful sourcing. fligen coffee roaster, sitting in the jati area of pulo gadung in east jakarta, is part of that current. east jakarta doesn't pull the same foot traffic as the central business district, which means the people who show up to fligen are mostly there because they meant to be. that kind of regulars-by-conviction setup tends to sharpen a roaster's focus. you're not competing for walk-ins, so the coffee does the work. the address puts you just off the rt.15/rw.2 grid, and if you're making the trip out to pulo gadung, go early in the day.
