What does kopi mean?

The word "Kopi" is a word in Kenya, a local language in Malaysia and Singapore, which means "coffee". Coffee is a very popular drink in these two countries. People often enjoy a cup of hot kopi in coffee shops or drink a bowl of rich kopi-o in street stalls to replenish energy. Because of the popularity of kopi, many coffee brands have broad markets in these two countries.

If we compare kopi with American coffee or latte, you will find that the taste and brewing method of kopi are quite different from other coffee styles. Usually, kopi's practice is to mix espresso with condensed milk to create a more mellow and energetic taste. This drink has a unique taste. Even if you have tasted all kinds of coffee all over the world, it's hard to find anyone like kopi.

Besides being a drink, kopi also plays an important role in Malay culture. Many restaurants and cafes list kopi as an essential drink on their menu. Many people will also give kopi as a gift to friends or family, and regard it as a part of Malay cultural tradition. Whether as a drink or a cultural symbol, kopi plays a vital role in Malaysia and Singapore.
