The word ‘java’ is synonimous with coffee. Java produces coffee and so does Bali. Drop into any supermarket or convenience store and you will see packets of kopi Bali.
The other day I stopped by Bintang in Seminyak to pick up a bag. You can get powder or ground, and a 250g bag of kupu-kupu bola dunia (butterfly globe brand) ground coffee cost me around 15,000rp.
If you ask for a Bali coffee in a restaurant, they will serve it black, with the grounds in the bottom of the cup. At home I use a tea strainer (us POMs can’t travel anywhere without one!) and it works quite well. Supermarkets do sell coffee filters.
Kopi Bali is cheap, tastes good and makes a handy oleh oleh (gift) for people.

I usually drop by Kopi Bali’s first and original outlet at No 80 Jln Gajah Mada in Denpasar. They’ve got the real deal, freshly roasted and ground coffee in glass jars. It’s a small intoxicating little shop which also sells Saeco coffee machines. Now, If only they’ll build some cottages in their cofffee plantations near Plaga.
