Lily and Michelle Soehadi of Kopani Coffee are Pouring Gotong Royong in Every Cup

Aaron, Chris, and Wade sit down with Lily and Michelle Soehadi, who founded Kopani Coffee in November, 2024. Alongside roasting delicious coffee, they've served drinks from their signature menu on their coffee cart, and held educational events to enrich their community's experience of coffee. Their story and approach to coffee are driven by gotong royong, a commitment to mutual enrichment in community settings, a value they carry from their Indonesian heritage, but especially from their late mother. Coupled with a drive to truly learn and teach about coffee, Kopani continues to grow in every direction, telling an inspiring story along the way.Mentioned in this episodeKopani Coffee (@kopanicoffee) - Cat & Cloud (@catcloudcoffee) - Wonderstate Coffee (@wonderstatecoffee) - Friedhats (@friedhats) - Mill City Roasters (@millcityroasters)ShoutoutsUgly Duck (@uglyduckcoffee) - The Potted Bean (@the_pottedbean) - Whole Latte Love (@wholelattelove)Mentioned in this episode:Food About TownFood About Town hosted by Chris Lindstrom, focusing on restaurants, food and drink of all kinds, and whatever topics I want to cover! https://foodabouttown.captivate.fm/Joe Bean RoastersJoe Bean Coffee - Coffee that lifts everyone. https://shop.joebeanroasters.comConnections with Evan Dawson Connections with Evan Dawson - Subscribe wherever you get your podcastsConnections
