<p>The Chuan Hoe Coffee Factory, situated in Kampung Jawa, Bandar Klang, relies solely on traditional brewing machinery and coffee-making methods.</p>
<p>The 63-year-old owner, Tan Loon Chuan, says that these methods have been passed down from generation to generation since the factory’s inception in 1959.</p>
<p>As of now, the factory has been under the care of three consecutive generations after Tan’s grandfather.</p>
