Solright’s Indonesian Coffee Tasting｜Post-WOC Reflections with Paper Knot and Mojocoffee

On the morning of June 1st, we hosted a small but meaningful coffee tasting session at Project Ember by mojocoffee in Taichung. Fresh from the 2025 World of Coffee (WOC) expo in Indonesia, we wanted to share the flavors we discovered and the stories we brought back.
The idea was simple: brew Indonesian coffee and talk about what we saw—both at origin and at the WOC.

The goal was simple: brew Indonesian coffee and talk about what we saw and tasted at origin and at the WOC.

What Did We Taste?

We brought back over ten different Indonesian coffees, all from various regions and processing styles. Featured roasters included:

– Ultra Coffee
– Jack Runners Roastery
– Fumidai Specialty Coffee
– The Roasters Club
– K•V•H Roaster
– Baked Indonesia

Each coffee had its own character—some were bright and fruity, others had strong sweetness, and a few were experimental and complex. Many guests said, “This isn’t the Indonesian coffee I thought I knew!”

Brewed with the Solright DB-1 Manual Coffee Grinder

All grinding during the event—from pour-over brews to cupping—was done using our own Solright DB-1 hand grinder. Whether grinding light-roasted fruity beans or medium-dark intense profiles, the DB-1 delivered consistent performance across the board.

What really stood out was how easy and fast it is to clean, allowing us to switch between coffees without leftover grounds affecting flavor clarity. That’s especially important during cupping sessions where precision matters.

We designed the DB-1 so that anyone, even without a professional background, could enjoy clean, expressive coffee through intuitive use and easy maintenance. This event gave everyone a chance to experience just that: a grinder that helps you focus on flavor, not fuss.

How This Event Came Together

This tasting was co-organized by Solright, Paper Knot (Indonesia), and mojocoffee (Taiwan). During WOC, we met a lot of people passionate about quality coffee and also visited several cafes and roasters in Indonesia. We wanted to share what we learned and tasted—about the evolving coffee landscape and the new generation of Indonesian producers—directly with our local community.

The event was hosted by Scott (mojocoffee) and Gilbert (Paper Knot), who walked us through each coffee’s background, tasting notes, and how things have changed at origin in recent years.

Final Thoughts

At Solright, we’re not only focused on creating good tools—we also want to help people understand coffee better in a friendly, approachable way.
This event wasn’t huge, but it was grounded, meaningful, and full of great conversations. We’re grateful for everyone who came.

We’ll continue organizing similar sessions in the future. If you’re interested in origins, gear, or just want to explore something different in a cup, we’d love to have you join us next time.
