Rivets Coffee & Roastery Cafe (Cikutra)

your first sip of rivets' sumatran mandheling hits different than the usual bandung coffee scene. they're pulling flavor notes most local roasters miss entirely, that earthy, almost metallic finish that makes wet-hulled processing so polarizing. the beans crackle louder during their medium roasts, filling the cikutra space with smoke that clings to your jacket. their gayo selection tastes like dark chocolate mixed with fresh soil. not everyone gets it, but when you do, you're hooked on indonesia's most honest coffee flavors.
