Who Cafe Roasting is located in Yilan, in the northeastern part of Taiwan.
As you wander through the alleys, there’s no need to search hard for the shop—you’ll quickly spot the iconic mustache sign of the owner, Tiger. Right after that, your eyes will be drawn to the Christmas tree on the wall, the array of drippers, and the vintage lever machine inside the shop, all reflecting Tiger‘s dedication to craftsmanship.

Before founding Who cafe, the owner, Kiwe Lin, had dabbled in various industries, including car sales, real estate, and running a tutoring center. However, during his time living in different places, he always long for the unique warmth and hospitality of Yilan, his hometwon. This ultimately brought him back to his hometown to open a café.

Over the years, Who cafe has grown into more than just a café. Kiwe Lin himself has become a columnist and coffee instructor, sharing his knowledge and helping to shape Taiwan’s specialty coffee culture. These days, Who cafe is more than a place to grab a cup of coffee, it’s where Yilan’s coffee lovers come together.
 

As users of the latest upgraded Aries grinder, Kiwe Lin and the store manager, Iannis , have given high praise for its many improvements. The upgraded Aries effortlessly handles espresso grinding for beans of various origins and roast levels. Its quick-cleaning feature makes switching beans more convenient while preserving the purity of the flavors.

During the cold winter months, the RDT spray bottle effectively eliminates static issues, enhancing the overall brewing experience. The redesigned grounds cup is also more compatible with espresso portafilters, and the improved motor to prevent bean jams make the grinding process simpler and more reliable.

Kiwe Lin shared that all the single origin espressos at the shop are now prepared using Aries, delivering consistently stable and delicious flavor profiles.

虎咖啡位於宜蘭,台灣的東北邊。
走進巷子裡,不用特別尋找店面,就可以看見虎老闆的招牌鬍子映入眼簾,緊接著就是牆上的聖誕樹,琳琅滿目的濾杯還有店內的拉霸機,都透露著虎老闆對於手作的重視。

虎老闆在創立虎咖啡之前,曾經從事過多種行業,汽車銷售業務、房仲、補習班經營等,在各個地方生活時,總是感受不到宜蘭特有的那份溫暖與人情味,因此回來宜蘭家鄉開咖啡館。
除了經營咖啡館,虎老闆還擔任專欄作家、咖啡講師,為台灣的精品咖啡文化盡一份心力,而虎咖啡就成為宜蘭咖啡迷的聚集地。
 

身為 Aries 最新改機的用戶,虎老闆與店長葉子對這款磨豆機的多項升級給予高度肯定。改機後的 Aries 不僅能輕鬆應對各種產地、焙度的義式研磨需求,快速清潔功能也讓換豆更加方便,保留風味的純淨。在寒冷的冬天,RDT 噴水罐有效解決了靜電問題,讓出杯體驗更上一層樓。此外,粉杯的設計對於義式把手更友善,針對卡豆的扭力改善,也讓出杯過程變得更簡單、快速且穩定。虎老闆說現在店內的單品義式都靠 Aries 完成,帶來穩定又美味的風味表現。
