behind cademo

how it started...

it all began with a suitcase full of dreams—and kintamani coffee. every time I flew from home to the netherlands, I'd pack bags of what the locals call kopi bali, unable to resist the rich aroma and deep flavors that reminded me of home. as a (new wave) coffee enthusiast and weekend café hopper, my curiosity eventually led me into the world of specialty coffee. that’s when everything clicked. I started seeing more roasters spotlighting the stories behind the beans—the farmers, the origins, the craft. it was more than just coffee; it was culture, connection, and untapped potential. that’s when the spark hit: what if I could turn my love for coffee into something special? :)

let's brew together •

cademo coffee was born from a deeply personal connection to Indonesia — a country rich not only in culture and biodiversity, but in coffee heritage that spans generations.

"I grew up in bali and coffee has always been part of my story. the aroma of freshly brewed coffee brings back memories of home — slow mornings, family conversations, and the quiet comfort of tradition."

over time, that appreciation grew into something bigger: a calling to share Indonesia’s exceptional, often-overlooked coffees culture with the world. while our country is one of the largest coffee producers globally, many of its most unique and character-rich beans never make it beyond the local market. 

our mission is clear: to curate Indonesia’s hidden coffee gems, sourced directly from the origin, with full traceability and a commitment to quality. we work hand-in-hand with smallholder farmers, cooperatives, and processors to identify lots that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship. 

from sourcing and exporting to roasting and brewing, we are actively involved in every stage of the value chain. every step we take supports farmer livelihoods, promotes sustainable and responsible practices, and helps preserve the rich coffee traditions of Indonesia.

whether you're a roaster, barista, or coffee enthusiast, we invite you to discover the depth, diversity, and stories within every cup of our beloved home coffee.
