Coffee you enjoy, not coffee you study

Getting to know us

Coffee you enjoy, not coffee you study

Specialty coffee can sound like an exam sometimes. We get that. But we really want you to just enjoy it. So let us do the studying, and you do the drinking.

At our little coffee sanctuary, fear no judgement, whatever your taste buds may prefer.

How it started

We quit our corporate jobs and fell hard for specialty coffee, with no formal training and far too much curiosity. What hooked us was how wild the flavours could get: berries, jasmine, stone fruit, all out of the same little cherry. A crackpot is an eccentric who doesn’t quite fit in, so the name picked itself.

That has been the mission from the start: not to fit a score or a mould, but to chase those little sparks of sweet serendipity and get them into your cup. From a small roastery in Subang Jaya, that means coffees chosen for character, roasted to suit each one, and packed in small batches with the roast date on the bag. Good coffee, approachable, one honest cup at a time.

How it started

Rare. Quirky. Undefinable.

Meet St. Kobean

Our spirit animal is a platypus, and we relate to him on far too many levels. When the first pelt reached British scientists in 1798, one of them took a pair of scissors to it, hunting for the stitches where someone had surely sewn a duck’s bill onto a beaver. It was entirely real. It just refused to fit anybody’s categories.

We know the feeling, and we’re quite happy being the odd ones in our own corner of coffee.

A family-run haven

Behind the counter is a family. We run the roastery ourselves while raising three young kids, which is exactly as chaotic as it sounds, and it means you’re always talking to the people who roasted your beans.

Ask us anything, including the questions you think are too basic. Those are our favourites. Or skip the questions entirely, pick a bag, and trust your taste buds.
