cup by cup, we leave a stain
A coffee stain is a mark that is left behind after an experience with a cup, whether it is the stain on a cup or a saucer or a table.Yet, a mark could also be metaphoric. A memory of a good cup, reminiscence of an adventure to a far-off coffee farm or a recollection of the sweetest aroma.

Story
Get to Know Us
Coffee Stain began in 2012 in Publika, started by siblings Sylvia, Sam, and Edmond with a simple idea — to create a place where good coffee and good conversations could happen naturally.
At that time, specialty coffee in Kuala Lumpur was still very new. We didn’t start with a big plan or a perfect business strategy. What we had was curiosity, long hours of learning, and a genuine love for coffee. We experimented constantly, made plenty of mistakes, and slowly figured out what kind of café we wanted to build — one that felt honest, welcoming, and focused on quality.
