Ngopi is an Indonesian specialty coffee platform built solo by Mifta Rohman for Indonesia's home barista community.

Why Ngopi Exists

I built Ngopi because:

  • Indonesian coffee resources are scattered — blogs fragmented, Facebook groups chaotic, English apps that don't know local pricing or Indonesian terminology
  • Nusantara coffee heritage (Kopi Pletok Betawi, Sanger Aceh, Kawa Daun Minang, Takar Mandailing, Ethiopian Bunna, Turkish Ibrik) is rarely documented systematically or respected
  • Modern AI tools should serve our language too — Indonesian baristas need to ask "why is my coffee sour?" in Bahasa Indonesia and get answers grounded in Indonesian context

What's Inside

  • 500+ coffee accessories with verified Indonesian pricing + local distributors (Otten Coffee, Toffin, Timemore.id, Cikopi, Tokopedia MHW, Philocoffee)
  • 60+ recipes — from V60 Tetsu Kasuya to Kopi Pletok Betawi, Cuban Cafecito Havana, Ethiopian Bunna Ceremony
  • 39 Indonesian-language guides (latte art tutorials, brewing technique deep-dives, practical guides, content-depth articles, master reference)
  • 71 specialty coffee glossary terms — SCA standard + Indonesian vocabulary (spice, roast level, processing methods)
  • AI Barista — chat AI that understands Indonesian coffee context, RAG retrieval across 500+ catalog items, multi-turn conversation
  • Community — brew log tracking, community posts, comments, 15-skill journey tree
