Please bear in mind tapi Kopi"o" kosong actually is not kosong. You can check back the making of Kopi-O.
Sifu actually dumb in Butter/Marjerin and sugar (different level according to resipi). The bean will roast until dark and dried.
This is Nanyang Style Coffee.

Western coffee process quite simple, only Roast the bean until dry without add any ingredient.

Yes, by our mean Kopi o kosong means does not add any additional sugar in it.
Instead how they gonna roast the bean, we cant control.

Buy black coffee. Expresso. Don't buy local roast as they use sugar and margarine

Sugar got a little, that's why you can see black color caramel (which is meaning of -O)_. But don't worry about, we all need some Carbohydrate. This Kopi-O just enough for your metabolism activity.
Dont add in Sweetened Milk, or Sugar.

I try google and result is this.
How is Kopi O made?
Kopi O': Coffee beans are roasted at a very high temperature, often until the beans are dark and glistening, which gives it its bitter, sour- charcoal flavour. Margarine, sugar and sesame is often added while roasting, giving it its rich aroma while diminishing the intensity of taste.

No no, i wont worry on that. Nowadays people no idea what they consume for.
Is good that we know at least what we had.

I usually just drink black coffee without any added sugar.

So yeah...Kopi O Kosong is actually very healthy.

i am content with my nescafe o-kosong.

Every morning will hit Nescafe Gold (without sugar or milk). It's very addictive once you get used to it. Once in a while, drop by Zus for Americano (Boss coffee beans). If in the mood, will add extra espresso shot to complement my Americano. Pure black coffee is so good that when tried with sugar felt like vomiting LOL. So into black coffee now, totally addicted.

i drink 2-3 glasses of kopi o kosong per day unless is weekend/holiday. taste almost similar to any americano of any cafes. here in kuching the coffee are not roasted in sugar and margarine, hence its easy to taste the coffee beans quality, but no where near the sweet and fragrance taste of semenanjung kopi where most shops uses hainan coffee beans that are roasted in sugar and margarine.

Hainanese coffee roasting traditionally involves roasting coffee beans with sugar, butter, and sometimes sesame seeds, resulting in a rich, aromatic, and slightly caramelized flavor.

Here's a more detailed look at the process:

Ingredients:
The core ingredients include coffee beans (often Robusta), sugar, butter (or margarine), and sometimes sesame seeds.

Roasting Method:
The beans are roasted, and then sugar is added to the roasting process, creating a caramelized finish.

Traditional Techniques:
Some roasters use wood-fired roasting, which adds a smoky flavor.

Cooling:
After roasting, the beans are rapidly cooled to prevent them from hardening into caramel chunks.

Roasting Arabica coffee beans involves heating them to specific temperatures to develop their flavor and aroma, with common roast levels including light, medium, and dark, each offering a unique taste profile.

Here's a more detailed look at roasting Arabica coffee beans:

Understanding the Roasting Process:

Green Beans:
You start with unroasted, green coffee beans.

Heating:
The beans are heated gradually, typically between 370°F to 540°F (188°C to 282°C).

First Crack:
As the beans heat, they start to crack, releasing steam and gases. This is a key indicator of the roast level.

Second Crack:
If roasting continues, a second crack will occur, signaling a darker roast.

Cooling:
Once the desired roast level is achieved, the beans are immediately cooled to stop the roasting process.

Yah its ok as usually dont take 2-3 cups a day. Hust be kinded its not really 0-oh so dont hantam the carbs/sugar elsewhere thiking got alot quota left ahahaha

True..any coffee with sugar i immediately ask for exchange or i rather threw it away...

If follow the nutri label.. 1 pack of kopi o kosong + 200ml water around 5-6g carbohydrate...which consider low.. But to be honest... 1 pack of kopi o kosong...i can pour almost 600ml....
Try check 1 roti sell in family mart..almost 40g of carb in little 90g bread...damn...

Drink the original and taste the original taste, instead of adding milk or sugar.

Just like tea, no need to add sugar.
