Jaya Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Bali

I adore this place without a shred of doubt. The beans they offer here in Bali are of the utmost quality, unrivalled by any other. However, my recent experience took a slightly different turn. Upon entering the shop, I noticed a man sitting with a cigarette in from of the coffee roasting machine. It was evident that he had indulged in numerous smokes in that very spot. Despite this, I proceeded to place my usual order and settled down next to him while I awaited its arrival.

To my dismay, as soon as my order was placed, a commotion erupted between that gentleman and the staff, filled with boisterous laughter and raised voices. The uncomfortable atmosphere they created made me feel unwelcome. It wasn't long before another individual walked in with a bag of beans. One of the staff members showcased various roasted beans from a bucket, which was later used to grind my coffee.

What shocked and disgusted me was that the person with the beans casually touched each one with his bare hands, and the staff simply returned them to the bucket. This was far from my expectations, considering this establishment is a well-respected brand that distributes its beans throughout Bali.

I was happy to find somewhere with a small selection of beans to choose from for v60, but unfortunately no light roast coffee. The beans available didn't have any information about taste profile etc which is helpful when decision making. So I had a smell of the options and chose one. It was ok coffee, but lacked depth, not much going on. My partner ordered a flat white and it was more like a latte, but the texture was good. They serve the coffee with some biscuits which is nice. My v60 was served with a sachet of brown sugar, which was strange for me, as filter coffee should never be paired with sugar. We got a pastry each and they were ok but nothing special. No chat from the barista about the coffee or anything. They have the roastery next door which is cool, it's a nice space to sit for a while but for me the coffee...
