In Meulaboh City, West Aceh, it has a unique and different way to enjoy a glass of coffee.
Although the brewed coffee is the same as normal coffee, but the way of serving is very typical and identical to Teuku Umar's earth. Its name is kupi khop.

Isran was rather difficult and confused about how to enjoy his coffee. Tomi, a local citizen teacher. "The tip of the straw put a little into the glass, then blow slowly until the coffee comes out around the glass," Tomi said while practicing.
After the coffee comes out and fills the small plate, then just breathe it in using a straw.
"Do not let the coffee powder come out of the glass, the coffee will not taste anymore while sucking it will be sucked in a powder," said Tomi.
If you don't understand how to blow it, the coarse coffee powder will come out. "Especially if the glass is raised."
Isran, who first enjoyed khop coffee, seemed very difficult to remove coffee from the glass.
