Our Heritage
The warung was first opened on Jln Hayam Wuruk – West of Jakarta by our Great
Grandfather in early 1870’s. He started his business as warung nasi (small restaurant
that served rice, etc). He bought his commodity items from ladies that carried them in “bakoel” (Javanese Traditional basket). One day, the bakoel lady offered him coffee beans, at a time was only common among the Dutch community.
He used firewood to roast the beans, brewed and then served fresh to his customers. Before long, the drink was gaining popularity.
As the coffee business flourished, he decided to close his food business and concentrate on his coffee business. He opened the first coffee specialty shop that roasted its own
coffee blend. The shop was called toko penggorengan kopi Tek Sun Ho. He served Jakarta and the surrounding community. Later, the coffee blend was also introduced outside Jakarta as many people bought the coffee to give to their friends and relatives who lived outside the city or abroad. In 1930, it started to export its first house blend coffee powder to Netherlands. Later, in 1970’s, it started to export to Japan and Middle East.
His son took over the company in 1929. In 1938, he improved the coffee roasting process by designing the roaster using drum method. He used jeep machine as the engine that rotated the drum to get an even roasted beans. He used a lady carried bakoel as the logo. Later, he introduced aluminium foil packaging to keep the product freshness.
In 1969, his grandsons continued the business.
In 2001, his great grand children continue the family heritage in coffee making. To pay tribute to the “Bakoel Lady”, the shop is now called “Bakoel koffie”. http://www.BakoelKoffie.com
