Kopi tubruk

Thick and rich kopi tubruk is the most popular coffee in Indonesia, especially in Java. It involves simple preparation in which boiling or hot water is combined with fine or medium ground coffee. The combination is mixed until it is well incorporated, and it is then left to sit for a couple of minutes until the coffee grounds settle at the bottom of the cup.

Although sugar is optional, most people choose to sweeten the coffee by mixing sugar with coffee grounds, before the water is added. This method of preparation is believed to have been introduced by the traders from the Middle East since  both the method and the coffee are quite similar to Turkish (Greek) coffee.

In Indonesia, coffee is brewed at home, but it is also sold at numerous street stands or specialized coffee shops (warkop or warung kopi).
