Everything starts with a dream, and coffee.

In life we often find ourselves embarking on journeys pathways that lead us from one corner of the world to another allowing us to uncover our passions. When I initially moved to Kuala Lumpur it was with the intention of pursuing a career opportunity that appeared promising at the time. However, as destiny would have it my true calling awaited me at Ra.Ft Café/Bistro —a coffee haven nestled in the heart of the city. Little did I anticipate that this unassuming café would serve as the backdrop for shaping my endeavors.

At Ra.Ft Café/Bistro, I was introduced to the enchanting world of coffee by none other than renowned Italian Master Roasters Andrea Rossi & Filippo Tomelleri. Their passion for coffee was infectious, and they generously shared their knowledge and skills with me. From the art of roasting coffee beans to the delicate choreography of milk frothing, I was initiated into a world that combined science and art in the form of a coffee cup.

Every day felt like an adventure, a new opportunity to learn and perfect my craft. I marveled at the complexities of coffee beans, the subtle differences in roast profiles, and the alchemical reactions that occurred within the espresso machine. My palate evolved as I learned to distinguish between the earthy notes of Sumatran beans and the bright acidity of Ethiopian varieties.

When I returned to Bangladesh, I carried with me not just memories of my time in Kuala Lumpur but also a newfound identity as a coffee roaster & barista. It also brought an unexpected opportunity – a chance to start the East Bengal Coffee Roasters partnership as Director of Operations and Master Roaster. It was a role that allowed me to share my love for coffee and provide sustainably sourced, specialty grade, fresh-roasted quality coffee to my fellow Bangladeshis.

Being a coffee roaster, or even a barista is more than a job; it’s a vocation, an art, and a way of life. It’s about connecting with people over a cup of coffee, creating moments of joy, and sharing the love and craftsmanship that goes into every brew. It’s about turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, one espresso shot at a time.
