That's a darn good machine. So it must be other factors, maybe the barrista...

What kind of machine? A good machine will produce a good espresso. Maybe it's a supermarket automatic coffee machine?

So, final update. I tried it once (the Vietnamese style) and that's it. Now it's sitting on my counter, starring back every time I brew my morning coffee (with proper beans, of course) ...

Yes. although I brew it directly to a cup which already contained condensed milk.

Update: I tried to make a Vietnamese coffee with it, and it taste okay. I even got a hint of gasoline in the cup 🤣.

This seems to be roasted traditionally, i.e. using firewood and steel wok. So, they really over-roasted it...

Thanks for all the suggestion, I suppose trying coldbrew will be interesting. I also will try turkish style with additional sugar. And mybe Vietnamese after buying some condensed milk.

LoL... Actually she doesn't really into the coffee world. She knows I'm a coffee addict, and always bring me beans if she able to get some.

LoL. Itu beli dari Dasawarsa rostery di Jogja. Papua dan Flores terlalu earthy, agak kurang suka.

Yes they are. And many more beans coming.

Yeah, that's a misconception. Indonesian coffee have various notes. Even I haven't try them all.

Currently using Clever Dripper, a similar brewing concept with Hario Switch.

I started with Bengkulu Honey, and it's very sweet. I couldn't taste any acidity or bitterness in the cup. However, i think I can go a little bit finer grinding size to extract more and increase the body.

That's the best combination; easy to use, portable, and more importantly: affordable.
