It's not easy to decide which of the coffee shops in Malang is the most essential coffee shop. It may be a newcomer or an old coffee shop. But, after spending a Sunday morning at All About Koffie by Kawisari in Kajoetangan, I thought it might be the one. The key is their 100% organic coffee, which comes from their own coffee plantation—the first in Java, established in 1870.

However, after visiting many coffee shops in Malang. I've decided that the best coffee shop is the Java Dancer Coffee.

There's something called Your Coffee Roasted on Demand at Java Dancer Coffee that seems to go so perfectly with the list of beans from across the archipelago:

Toraja Rantekarua (semi-washed)
Sumatra Gayo (soft wine)
Java Argopuro (natural hermetic-sealed)
Sumbawa (aged peaberry luwak)
Flores Manggarai (natural)
Toraja Rantekarua (natural)
Sumatra Sipirok (natural anaerobic)
Flores Manggarai (full-washed)

It works like this:

Now, that the best coffee comes from Java Dancer is no surprise. They have a passion for Indonesian coffee that you simply don't find anywhere else. And when you've finished your coffee, I hope you'll agree that Java Dancer Coffee is the best.

First, you choose the bean. Next, it's roasted fresh for you. Finally, you select how you want it brewed, and then sit back and enjoy the perfect cup.
