Back to the coffee shop where I used to spend time with coffee. It's kind of a traditional coffee that serves the daily coffee to the customers and I am one of the customers who has been regularly visiting this doorless coffee shop. The customers are always allowed to see how their coffee is made by a traditional barista. I am actually often seeing the way this guy made my coffee but I never got a chance to take pictures while making coffee.
So, one afternoon while waiting for my coffee, I managed to take the pictures as a way to make you all know that we still preferred to drink conventional coffee because most of the coffee shops also adopt the traditional coffee despite being one or two that serves the machine coffee, like espresso and latte, traditional coffee always be the first choice.
Indeed, those coffees are good but I prefer traditional coffee that is originally made by traditional stuff. It also works on takeaway coffee, traditional coffee is packed with a plastic bag instead of a coffee cup.
Yeah, it is good to see the way the barista attempts to measure the milk with coffee while making sure it will be a good composition for the customers. Especially, in the morning, I like "Sanger" coffee with little milk. "Kopi Sanger" is made by a three-to-one ratio of coffee and condensed milk, filtered through a sieve repeatedly to achieve smoothness that becomes most favorite drink here.
This drip goes from the coffee filter to the glass and is ready to be served. This typical coffee is well known as Ulee Kareng coffee, which refers to the coffee production area in Banda Aceh.
Interestingly, the coffee is not brewed with hot water but is cooked to give out a strong aroma and flavor that has been gone through several steps of the filtering process, using a cone-shaped filter.
Dr. Kupi is the name of this coffee shop, located in the suburb city of Lhokseumawe, Aceh-Indonesia. I just realized that I am its permanent consumer for nearly four years now.
