Hainanese coffee, or kopi, is a bold and aromatic brew made from dark-roasted local coffee beans often blended with margarine during roasting for added richness. Prepared using a sock filter (kopi tarik style), the coffee is typically served with condensed or evaporated milk, resulting in a creamy and slightly sweet beverage. This traditional drink is a staple in Malaysian kopitiams, offering a strong caffeine kick and nostalgic charm. Vegetarian-friendly by default, it’s best enjoyed alongside toast or breakfast staples for an authentic local experience.
