Expat. Roasters

17/07/2026

This week’s Barista Spotlight is Rama, our Barista at Expat. Roasters Hokky Citraland, Surabaya. We asked him a few quick questions to get to know the person behind the coffee.

Q: What’s your favourite part about working at Expat. Roasters?
A: Definitely the people. This industry has introduced me to so many genuine and passionate individuals.

Q: What’s the most memorable drink order you’ve made?
A: Probably when a group of our loyal customers asked for a hot latte with some “forbidden latte art” on top 🥹

Q: What’s your favourite bean on rotation right now?
A: Bali Kintamani Natural Espresso. It’s bright and fruity with a playful character, while the sweetness behind the acidity gives the cup beautiful layers. It’s kind of like someone who’s loud on the outside but has a soft heart.

Q: What’s currently on your playlist?
A: Hold On Till May by Pierce The Veil. The song isn’t really about the month, it’s about holding on until life feels a little lighter again. So, if you’re going through a difficult time right now, I hope you choose to stay and keep moving forward, one day at a time.

Q: What’s one underrated coffee drink everyone should try?
A: A Magic with Bali Kintamani and full cream milk. It’s richer, creamier, and definitely worth trying.

Q: How do you like to spend your days off?
A: Netflix and chill, discovering great coffee spots with friends, or a game of billiards with the boys.

Q: What keeps you inspired in coffee?
A: The opportunity to grow every day. Coffee has taught me that consistency, teamwork, and attention to detail are what matter most.

If you’re in Surabaya, drop by Hokky Citraland and say hello to Rama. Who knows, you might even leave with your own custom latte art creation!

Good coffee has a funny way of making busy days feel a little lighter.

Surabaya has always known that a good cup can do more than wake you up. It starts conversations, sparks ideas, creates connections, and gives people a reason to pause.

While every Expat. Roasters in Surabaya shares that same passion, Graha Famili has become one of the places where Surabaya’s coffee community continues to meet, learn, and linger, over thoughtfully roasted coffee, seasonal dishes, and workshops that bring people together.

Good times & good coffee all around.
We’ll save you a seat ☕️

From thought to taste. Every drink begins as an idea.

A flavour remembered. A texture imagined. A conversation across the table. Then comes the tasting, refining, questioning and starting again. The Drinks Edit 2026 is the result of that process.

Eight drinks, carefully curated by our team and shaped through countless iterations to find the balance between familiarity and discovery. From the layered indulgence of the Mont Blanc Tiramisu, to the bold character of the Dirty Latte and the timeless simplicity of the Americano, each drink earned its place in the edit.

Pick up your Drinks Edit Passport at any Expat. Roasters location, experience all 8 drinks, and complete the collection for the chance to win exclusive prizes including 10,000,000 IDR in travel vouchers.
