mandheling kuda mas is a typica varietal coffee from sumatra, indonesia, processed using the washed method. washed processing removes the fruit before drying, which tends to clarify the cup and let the bean's character come through cleanly. despite that, this coffee carries a winey quality, giving it a fermented fruit edge that sets it apart from cleaner, brighter washed coffees. roasted to rto (return to origin) level, it sits in a range suited to filter brewing, where that winey character can be appreciated without being masked by roast bitterness. a pour over or filter drip approach at moderate temperature will serve it well.

about the coffee roaster

you're on anthony street in west end, which is the kind of block that rewards slowing down. the coffee roaster sits at number seven, and if you've spent any time in this part of brisbane you'll know west end doesn't really do pretence. that suits this place. roasting in-house means what ends up in your cup hasn't traveled far from source to finish, and the regulars here have clearly noticed, coming back with the consistency of people who've stopped looking elsewhere. there's something grounding about a roaster operating at this scale in a neighbourhood that still has its edges intact. mid-morning on anthony street, flat white in hand, is a reasonable argument for the whole operation.
