When Coffee Meets Creativity: A Story That Starts with a Question
What if your morning cup could be more than a caffeine fix—what if it were a canvas? In the heart of the third-wave coffee movement, one curious barista asked: “What if the brew method itself was an ingredient?” That spark led to the Pomelo Filtration Method, a technique that fuses flavor, sustainability, and art in every drop.
Like exploring the rich and diverse flavors of Indonesian coffee, this method invites you to taste innovation—and to drink in a story as vibrant as your brew.
What Is the Pomelo Filtration Method?
Imagine brewing coffee without paper filters—using a pomelo rind instead. Here’s why it works:
- Flavor Harmony: Pomelo’s aromatic oils meld with coffee’s bitterness, adding a gentle citrus zing.
- Natural Vessel: Thick rind withstands heat and holds shape.
- Zero Waste: Fully compostable—no filter trash.
- Conversation Starter: Perfect for creating memorable moments, much like a Flat White with an Indonesian twist.
The Art Behind the Brew: Expressionist Culinary Creativity
Inspired by Lee et al. (2020), the expressionist view sees creativity as:
- Impulsion – an inner spark.
- Interaction – hands-on experimentation.
- Harmony – a final balance of flavor, technique, and emotion.
Just as learning to brew Kopi Luwak right, understanding why you brew is as crucial as knowing how.

Flavor Notes & Field Insights
A panel of baristas and chefs described the cup as:
