Coffee is Not Yet Become a Lifestyle for Balinese


Coffee has become a habit for the Balinese people for generations. But coffee has not become a lifestyle among the people of Bali. Among the Balinese coffee is still a complement.

"When we conducted trials with the people of Bali who is also producer of coffee, maybe some says coffee is bitter at all, all coffee will be the same taste," said Manager of PT. Bahana Genta Viktory Branch Bali, Pramudya Bevan.

According Pramudya, generally Balinese appreciation to the way of enjoying coffee is still low. Balinese custom proof that brewing coffee with very hot water so that the coffee taste is lost.

"This practice is not only in Bali but Java as well. Our way to taste the best coffee is brewing with enough temperature or attempted by way of espresso. There, we can see the original flavor of the coffee itself," said Bevan Pramudya.

Pramudya suggested at least brewing coffee by using hot water with temperature under 90 degrees Celsius. Communities can try to distinguish the taste of coffee that is brewed with temperatures above and below 90 degrees Celsius to distinguish flavors.

"So it does not mean that we drink coffee every day we practically know about the coffee, because the frequency we burn them with hot water, since we only need caffeine and a sense of bitterness," he said.

He said the habit of making coffee with water at high temperature occurs in almost all coffee producing countries such as Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia.

Producing countries have a tendency to not know how to process before becoming a beverage. While the developed countries know how to extract the better. He added that other errors in the Balinese coffee is too much sugar because they like sweet. Though the addition of sugar will only kill the taste of coffee.
