Order Freshly Roasted Coffee Beans from Cappucho

This is the one that started it all—our first commercial roast. A humble yet confident beginning. The beans come from Buana Mandiri, a young and passionate cooperative founded in 2014 in Bener Meriah, Sumatra. With over 1,300 smallholder farmers working between 1,200–1,400 meters above sea level, their focus on sustainability shows in every cup. Protective gear, organic fertilizers, shade trees, and shared milling—these are the quiet rituals that make their coffee thrive.

Grown on the slopes of Mount Leuser, one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems, this coffee captures the earthy soul of Sumatra. Processed in the traditional giling basah (wet-hulled) style, it carries the unmistakable creamy body, gentle acidity, and notes of dried fruit, spice, and dark earth that define the island’s coffee heritage.

Hand-sorted three times for perfection and produced by farmers using organic practices, this lot represents a new generation of Sumatran growers shaping the future—one harvest at a time.

At Cappucho, we roast it to honor its origin and our own beginnings. Expect a full-bodied cup with hints of Medjool date, muscovado sugar, and vanilla bean. Lighter roasts reveal its quiet fruit complexity; darker ones bring forward its grounding sweetness and timeless depth.

This Sumatra lot is roasted in a precision-controlled, ventless roasting system designed to bring out the depth and richness of the beans without compromising their natural character. Using advanced air circulation and automated profiling, each batch is roasted evenly and consistently — allowing the coffee’s signature earthy sweetness, gentle acidity, and full body to fully develop.

The system’s closed-loop design minimizes smoke and emissions while maintaining a clean roasting environment, preserving the integrity of the bean’s origin notes. Digital controls ensure every roast curve is repeatable, meaning the balance of spice, dried fruit, and creamy texture you taste today will be just as true in future batches. The result is a sustainable, small-batch roast that honors both the producer’s work and the coffee’s natural terroir.
