The Caffeine Dispensary Introduces Its
first Café and Wholesale Services in North Jakarta
The
Caffeine Dispensary opened its doors this past October. The café and showroom,
located in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, is created not only as a place to
enjoy a great cup of coffee, but also to share knowledge and connect with
like-minded people.
“We
are obsessed with coffee. It is simply a life pursuit,’ said Ajie Permana,
Edward Sanrio, and Andri Saputra, coffee enthusiasts and the force behind The
Caffeine Dispensary.
Fuelled
by passion, or rather obsession in finding and creating that perfect cup of
coffee, the three partners saw a growing demand and appreciation of specialty
unadultered coffee and took their continuous love affair with caffeine to
another level.
The
Caffeine Dispensary was inspired by the old-day dispensary, an official
Government-appointed facility and the only place available at that time to have
doctors’ prescriptions filled and obtain medication. While waiting for their
names to be called by the pharmacists, people would chat to one another and
share their life troubles. In the same spirit today, The Caffeine Dispensary
aspires to do similarly by dispensing caffeine, a legal substance that has
become a part of so many people’s lives.
“Our
unique coffee concept goes beyond the café and roastery,” said Rio. “We will host coffee appreciation classes and
monthly public cupping sessions. In addition to our café, we also provide assistance
through our wholesale services, including coffee consultation and café set up,
coffee roasting customization services, café and equipment supplying, and even
staff training,” continued Ajie.
Rio
and Ajie have gone through different paths in expressing their profound love of
coffee. While Ajie went through the retail sector through his café, Revolution
Coffee in Singapore, Rio has opted for the wholesale route by setting up his
roasting company, Kujer Coffee Roasters in Jakarta.
The
partners met during a barista class in 2013 and soon realized the possibilities
of combining their complimentary skills, technical know-how and background in
two different markets. “Ajie is the better barista, but I am definitely the
more qualified roaster,” said Rio.
The
Caffeine Dispensary is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9 AM to 5 PM.
