The Brew

Ipoh white coffee, done the way it's meant to be — nothing rushed, nothing skipped.

Where It Starts

Older than most of the shophouses on this street.

White coffee isn't a trend here — it's a Perak tradition. We source Liberica beans butter-roasted the traditional way, then run espresso and filter brews alongside it for everyone who wants both worlds.

01

Butter-Roasted, Not Burnt

Low, slow roasting in margarine and sugar — the Ipoh method, no bitterness forced in.

02

Cloth-Filtered, By Hand

Every cup pulled through a cloth sock filter — the same way it's been done for decades.

03

Espresso, Too

A proper machine sits next to the siphon, for the days you want something brighter.

Bean To Cup

From Perak Farm To Your Table

Scroll to follow one bag of beans through our kitchen.

01

Sourced Close By

Green beans arrive from small Liberica growers around Perak — no long-haul imports, no middle-men we can't name.

02

Butter-Roasted, Slowly

Roasted low and slow with margarine and sugar, the traditional Ipoh way, until the beans turn dark and glossy.

03

Ground Fresh, Each Morning

We grind only what we need for the day — nothing sits pre-ground, losing flavour on a shelf.

04

Cloth-Filtered By Hand

Hot water poured through a cloth sock filter, the same motion our barista learned from her grandmother's kopitiam.

05

Served In Your Nook

Condensed milk on the side, always — so you can make it exactly as sweet as your morning needs.
