Lingtang Claypot Coffee, Cheras: Address, Hours and What It Is

What claypot coffee actually is

The beans are roasted or the coffee is brewed over charcoal in a clay pot rather than on a machine, which is an old Malaysian kopitiam method that mostly died out when gas and electric roasters took over. The pot holds heat unevenly and slowly, so you get a rounder, smokier cup with an earthy tail that a standard espresso machine will not give you. It is not better in a technical sense. It is different in a way you notice on the first mouthful.

Going, and when

Cheras Business Centre at Batu 5, which is about 20 minutes from KL city centre outside peak, longer in the evening crawl down Jalan Cheras. The split hours matter: they shut from 3.30pm to 4.30pm, and the second shift runs to 12.30am, which makes this one of the few places in that stretch doing proper coffee close to midnight. Closed Thursdays, so check the day before you drive. If you are collecting KL food stops, our Chunk & Dunk write-up covers the dessert end of the same trip.
