THE YEAR 2025 marks the third year Nine Lives Coffee Roasters (NLCR) has hosted the Malaysia Aeropress Championship in the northern region. This time, it was held at Moonshine Bakehouse on Andaman Island, Penang—a fresh venue with big views and even bigger vibes.
What sets the Aeropress Championship apart from other coffee throwdowns, as Loo Yi from NLCR puts it, is its lighthearted, casual nature.
“That’s why we took up the hosting in the first place,” he says. “The charm of coffee events lies in how they bring the community together.”
