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) ...

The suggestions are getting creative...

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.

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.
