A Coffee Shop in Switzerland Serves Indonesia's Best Brews

March 6, 2021, 12.27 AM

"Switzerland is renowned for world-class coffee machines, though many Swiss coffee drinkers drink the beverage from a fully automatic machine," said Martin. "Coffee machines are as common is Swiss households as rice cookers are in Indonesian homes.”

While Swiss coffee machines are as precise as the country's iconic watches, Martin noted that "the best coffees come down to a feel for the coffee and other ingredients. This includes getting the right temperature for the milk as well as the proper amount of coffee."

Martin's skill is reflected in his ability to make a sweet-tasting cappuccino without adding any sugar.

Ponti freely offered his expertise on Indonesian coffee to customers. "I give courses for everyone, whether they are coffee laymen to professional baristas," he asserted. "My instruments included a coffee roaster made in Bali." 

Yet the couple acknowledged that the market for Indonesian cuisine in Switzerland is tough, as Indonesian restaurants in the country eventually shut their doors because of bankruptcy.

The Covid-19 pandemic compounded the challenges. "The coffees we serve can only be to go, as are other restaurants and cafes," Alista sighed. "The banter that made Omnia Coffee lively is also limited by health protocols." 

But Alista remains optimistic that the Indonesian brews served by Omnia Coffee will continue to draw coffee drinkers keen for well roasted, premium Indonesian coffee. As long as people look to perk up their day with a good cup of coffee, she might be proven to be right.
