Kopi Tubruk (Indonesian Collision Coffee)
A bold and robust Indonesian coffee brewed directly in the cup
Welcome to the world of Kopi Tubruk, a traditional Indonesian coffee that packs a punch! This unique brewing method, which translates to 'collision coffee,' originated in Java and has been a staple of Indonesian coffee culture for generations.
Kopi Tubruk is made by adding coarsely ground coffee directly to a cup of boiling water, allowing it to steep, and then drinking it grounds and all. This method produces a strong, full-bodied coffee with a rich flavor profile. The key to a perfect Kopi Tubruk lies in the quality of the beans - typically dark-roasted Robusta or Arabica from Indonesian regions like Sumatra or Java. The coarse grind is essential, as it allows for proper extraction without over-steeping.
