A SINGLE BREW.

Hello, my name is Pepi Risnawati, a 22 years old girl living in Bandung, a first child of two siblings. Working while studying is currently my daily dose of activity. Between the busy schedule, I always take the time to just go hang out with friends to a coffee shop and taste the coffee brewing in that place. I am a lover and connoisseur of coffee. Alone or with friends, I will still go and enjoy a cup of coffee in my favorite place. Just accompanied by my favorite book is enough for me to go spent my whole day at a coffee shop.
​
Coffee is basically divided into two categories, milk-based and manual brewing, both of them have their own characteristics. For local and international coffee beans lovers, they often choose manual brew as their choise, because manual coffee brewing is the best way to open the doors to the sensory world of specialty coffee.
a little about me
As has become a routine, I always need caffeine every day. In the city of Bandung itself, currently in every corner of the city there are many coffee shop, from ordinary coffee shops to a famous one. They competing with each other by presenting unique flavors and the aesthetics of the place itself which of course become a reference for teenagers who want to take pictures and share them on social media. But not for me, there are several names of coffee shop that not only have good places but also the quality of the coffee they serve deserves praise. Yes, of course a good coffee shop will always provide a distinctive coffee flavor.
Some of my favorites
Twocents

Twocents's Longblack is my favorites, why? Because black coffee here has a distinctive taste, unlike other black coffee. Longblack and Chocolate Brownies is a perfect combination, the flavor of sweet cakes and the bitter of chocolate blends perfectly with the coffee, enjoying both of them together can restore and enhance my mood. Don't worry, they also provide heavy meals to fulfill your stomach's satisfaction.
