TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Hendri Kurniawan is the first Indonesian to be a judge at the World Barista Championship. Since 2000, his days filled with coffee, coffee, and coffee. Start your own barista - peracik and presenters coffee - in Sydney, consultants cafes in Indonesia, to teachers in schools barista A Bunch of Coffee Dealers in Market Santa, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.
To Tempo, a man 39 years sharing his knowledge, as published Koran Tempo, Thursday, October 9, 2014. Here's the interview:
How do I choose a good coffee?Good or not is relative. But we can choose a good coffee, which is the freshly roasted. The coffee should be consumed a maximum of two months after baking. The best period is two weeks after roasting. Do not buy in the form of powder, but the seed.
Why? Is not everywhere coffee is sold in powder form?Enemy of coffee there are three: water, air, and light. In powder form, the surface area exposed three things that a lot, almost all of them. As a result, coffee so stale, lose flavor and aroma. If it still shaped beans, just skin contact, the contents are protected. Buying coffee beans also make sure we get a pure coffee.
So, we must have a coffee grinder machine at home?Yes I Do. That the manual is not expensive, really. (Price in various online shanties begin approximately USD 200 thousand)
In the houses in Indonesia, there is rarely a coffee maker. How do I serve coffee right?Brewed coffee is also okay. Freshly ground coffee hot water poured. Do not use boiling water, but a temperature of 90-92 degrees Celsius. So, after boiling, let stand about a minute. Do not be discussed, because so over-extract-like burnt on food. I recommend wearing french press (penyeduh pot and filter coffee).
What is the proportion?There is no standard dose, because people's tastes and different cup sizes. Comparison generally, 1 to 15, ie 1 gram of coffee for every 15 milliliters of water.
Is it true that drinking coffee negative impact on the stomach?There my students are studying coffee on the grounds he was twice admitted to hospital as a result of drinking coffee. It turns out, that he drank coffee sachets. It was a mixed corn and other ingredients. I explained all about coffee, including caffeine content, nerve stimulating substances. Arabica coffee contains caffeine approximately 1 percent of the weight of the beans, lower than robusta. Now, he was a drug addict arabica.
Are you fond of coffee sachets?I drink it in order to know it. For me, the drinks were good, but not coffee. Logically this. Cheap-cheap coffee beans, the price is Rp 30 thousand per kilogram. Its value is doubled if it is roasted. While the packaged coffee sold much cheaper. So, it is not possible contents of pure coffee.
What about the international cafe?When there, I drink tea.
Why not coffee?Not my type of coffee. They were roasting in the United States. Imagine the length of time they need to reach the shops in Indonesia. Back to the principle of coffee aged no more than two months after roasting.
So, where we can buy coffee that is "good"?For at home, buy coffee beans in the roaster. For beverages, in Jakarta, many cafes as well roaster. That is, they serve the coffee immediately after roasting. Among other things, Common Grounds (at City Walk, Jalan KH Mas Mansur), One Fifteenth (Jalan Gandaria), and Caswell (Jalan Kemang). *
