If you have the opportunity to set foot on the west coast of Aceh, Indonesia, don't forget to enjoy a cup of Kupi Khop coffee.
The way this coffee is served is so unique that anyone who sees it for the first time will want to try it. If you are not a coffee lover, share it on social media so more people will know about it.
Kupi Khop consists of coarsely ground robusta coffee brewed in a cup and then inverted on a glass saucer. The coffee is then slowly poured out and enjoyed through a plastic straw.
Coffee brands are constantly launching attractive advertisements, but Kupi Khop is completely out of this "game". It has even been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Its history dates back many centuries.
Acehnese fishermen were the first to come up with this unusual way of making coffee.
At that time, thermoses had not been invented, which meant that once the coffee was made, it could cool down very quickly in case you needed to go somewhere.
Covering your coffee cup will help keep it warm longer, not to mention keep dust, insects, and other impurities out.
The locals cleverly turn the cup upside down onto the saucer without making a mess. Then, a straw is inserted under the cup, and you blow gently into the straw, increasing the pressure inside the cup and causing the coffee to flow out.
As the coffee flows around the rim of the cup, you simply use the straw to suck up the liquid. Repeat this action several times and you will drink all the coffee inside. This way the coffee stays warmer for longer. This method has been used for hundreds of years.
