Kopi joss
Indonesia
This tourist tick-off was invented in Yogyakarta in the 60s by a
coffee stall vendor called Mr Man, who remedied his stomach ache by
dropping hot coal in his cuppa – it’s believed that the charcoal
neutralises coffee’s acidity while giving the drink a smack of
burnt sugar. The name “kopi joss” comes from the sizzling sound
made when the coal is dropped in.
