Kopi terbalik

Kopi terbalik or kopi khop is an Indonesian type of coffee known for its unique serving style. The coffee is brewed and poured in a glass, which is then turned upside down and placed on a large plate. Each coffee is served with a straw, and the guest should use it to slowly blow air inside the glass, allowing the liquid to pour on the plate.

According to a widespread legend, the coffee originated in coastal areas in Aceh when men would take a sip of coffee and then go work at sea. Turning the cup upside down, allowed the coffee to stay clean so the men would be able to drink it after they would come back from work.
