Hands down to THE BEST
Christmas tree I’ve seen.
I am
writing this post, and I am honestly having a hard time to describe Ruang
Seduh. To me, it’s a not a coffee shop, not that typical coffee shop where you
go when you desperately need a cup of iced caramel macchiato, order at the counter and have your name called for pick up and chill around at
the spot for hours, no, not this one. They indeed sell coffee here, but I don’t know,
calling Ruang Seduh a coffee shop is not exactly right to describe it. This is
my own personal opinion.
The
naming was brilliant and that is what Ruang Seduh is really about. Known as “brewing
room” in English, Ruang Seduh is more like a small brewing lab located at the
back of Aksara bookstore Kemang where people (as in customers) can go and try
to brew their own coffee, and nope, you don’t need to wear one of those lab jackets
to make you appear smarter, coffee-rookies or experts can go here, brew their
favorite manual brew filter coffee and voila, sip!
The
ordering here is easy, simply tell the barista the manual brew that you want
and they will guide you the whole process, including the temperature, the time
and the basic pouring procedure. I might not be an expert, but I learned that
you don’t need to do the circular pouring on this particular manual brew like
ones would do on a V60. The coffee beans here came from roasteries such as
Coffee Smith, Sensa Koffie and Smoking Barrels.

A little
overview of the lab!
If you’re
into chilled coffees, unfortunately they don’t do iced latte here, but you can
opt for the bottled cold brew made by A Bunch of Caffeine Dealers (ABCD), it
was a tad hefty for IDR 70k, but that’s a cold brew afterall and it tasted
pretty nice, well-balanced and smooth aftertaste. Perfect for those who don’t
really like strong and acidic coffees! BTW they also provide juice and infused water by Judas.
Cold Drop Cold Brew (IDR
70k), Latte (IDR 35k), Manual Brew (IDR 66k)
Being
a small coffee lab, I assume they basically don't highlight the seatings, only two small
round tables with seatings for four, but since it’s located exactly beside
Kinosaurus (a mini-cinema screening Independent films), when it’s not operating
or screening movies, you can always go inside and sort of like “borrowing” the
cinema as your seating areas. I will definitely go back to actually watch the
movies at Kinosaurus, that place looks so cool and I want to experience
watching films there.
