Tooling— is an important part of our coffee culture and one of the major focus of this initiative. Researching two traditional trades– tinsmith & pottery with a little into textile as well. All of which make up the tools and equipment of the early brewing station. This involves acquiring, repairing & learning tin-smithing, rebuilding machinery and understanding the local pottery heritage behind the unique kopi cup & saucer. 

There are three main stages which coffee goes through before reaching us in a cup; grown and processed at the plantation, 'cooked' at the coffee factory*, and lastly, brewed at the coffee shop. The 'tooling' in this project focuses towards the last stage, traditional equipment and tools used in brewing and crockery used in serving coffee. Although the research will attempt to document the other stages as well.
