For Muklis Sina Syamsudin, a barista at Nika Corner Bintaro, coffee is more than just a drink to stay awake. To him, coffee is an art — a blend of taste, patience, and process. Over the past year, he has spent his days behind the coffee bar, brewing and crafting drinks that brighten people’s mornings.
His journey began from something simple. “At first, I was just hanging out with friends and trying different coffees. Then I got curious about the flavors and how each bean has its own character,” Muklis recalled. That curiosity led him to learn from scratch — watching YouTube tutorials, experimenting with manual brew methods like V60 and Aeropress, and practicing with friends. From there, his passion for coffee grew stronger.
A typical morning at Nika Corner starts early for Muklis. He checks the coffee beans, prepares the tools, and makes sure everything is ready before the first customers arrive. When the café gets busy, especially on weekends, focus and speed become essential. “The toughest part is during rush hour. We need to be fast but still maintain the quality and presentation,” he explained.
Despite the challenges, Muklis finds deep satisfaction in what he does. “It feels great when customers finish their drinks and say they enjoyed it. That’s the best reward for me,” he said with a smile. He also appreciates the teamwork and support from his head bar and colleagues who help him grow.
For Muklis, coffee is not about trends or fancy names. He believes there’s no coffee more special than one that tastes good, feels comfortable to drink, and brings joy to people.
Because behind every cup of coffee, there’s always a process, a struggle, and a story — just like Muklis’s own journey behind the bar at Nika Corner Bintaro.
