Hi Stemian all ..
Tonight I want to share information about unique coffee dish Meulabouh City. Last night I was invited by an old friend in Meulabouh City to one of the areas in Aceh Barat who sell Kupi Khop located Suak Ribe Beach area, Meulaboh. The coffee shop is in the form of a simple construction of wood and bamboo, but it is always filled with visitors. For the local traveler, Say really came out of curiosity with his glass coffee dish overturned.
It is called Kupi Khop aka Coffee with an upside-down glass. That said, the coffee cups are reversed inspired from the hat model Teuku Umar. Kupi Khop often found in the coast of West Aceh, identical as a drink among sailors.
Because I was really curious, I asked my friend, why is it presented upside-down? The answer, to keep warm and free of dust when left to go to sea, because the first coffee lovers with this glass dish upside down is the fishermen here. In addition, the coffee served upside down is affecting the taste offered because the aroma of coffee is maintained in the glass and they can enjoy again after the sea.
I see how to brew Kupi Khop just like any other coffee. Coffee powder brewed directly with hot water. When served, the coffee cup is turned over on a small plate.
How to enjoy it there are two ways, first, by lifting the plate and then the coffee that seeped out slurred slowly. This should be done carefully so that coffee does not spill. Second, using a straw clamped between the lips of the glass and the plate. The coffee liquor is blown first through the straw to stagnate out the glass. No need to worry about the dregs of coffee because it will float in the glass so it will not follow dringked.
The price is cheap, between IDR.5000 Rupiah-IDR.11.000 Rupiah when mixed with milk. Kupi Khop is made of robusta robusta coffee whose coffee powder stays afloat when stirred. Warung or tavern that sell Kupi Khop has several variations, including Kupi Khop original, Kupi Khop milk if you do not want the coffee taste too strong, and Kupi Khop fresh cold.Wanna try?
