A coffee lab in Kota Tua's Olveh building

Coffee Lab - Kopling at Olveh works inside one of the old town's restored offices, at Jalan Jembatan Batu No. 50. The building went up in 1921–1922 for Olveh, a Dutch life insurer, to a design by the brothers Richard and Wolff Schoemaker. The government took it over in 1961 and gave it to the state insurer Jiwasraya, and it was abandoned during the 1998 riots.⁴

The Jakarta Old Town Revitalization Corporation restored it for almost Rp3 billion, The Jakarta Post reported in 2016.⁴ Kopi Kopling now uses it as a lab that trains people who work in coffee, and the building also hosts pop-up exhibitions and workshops.⁵ Elsewhere in the center, Roast Coffee Ketapang is on Jalan Kyai Haji Zainul Arifin and Empo Coffee Roastery is in Bendungan Hilir.

World of Coffee in Jakarta, May 2025

From 15 to 17 May 2025 the Jakarta International Convention Center hosted World of Coffee, organized by Exporum Korea with the Specialty Coffee Association of Indonesia. It was the first edition held in Indonesia; the show usually goes to coffee-consuming countries rather than producers.⁹

More than 300 exhibitors from five countries took part. New for Jakarta were a Farmers Village for coffee from Indonesian growers and a Nusantara Pavilion where regional governments presented their own beans. Daryanto Witarsa, the association's chairman, said the industry had waited ten years for it.⁹
