While “Ngopi” is identical to hanging out or just to have an easy talk with friends, it also relates to certain rituals and knowledge dissemination as well. Coffeehouses and other informal venues thus emerge as open spaces for disseminating tacit knowledge to the explicit ones through different kinds of storytelling. Kopi Koe and Ngopijakarta are two communities which has unique active activities regarding their passions in sharing knowledge. Kopi Koe members discuss about coffee culture and its history, while Ngopijakarta invites everybody to visit historical sites continued with informal meeting. Both communities have coffee meetings on regular basis to share their tacit knowledge. This study was aimed at exploring how these communities manage the culture of drinking coffee to share knowledge among their members? What issues they discussed which were related to their core business? This study was carried out using a qualitative study with experience approach used by Scott. The founders and some members of the communities were interviewed to get data stated in research questions. The result of this study revealed the significance of coffee culture among the members of communities to create creativity and innovation for the benefit of the individual and communities.
