Indonesia coffee

258 Indonesia coffees from 122 independent UK roasters, from £0.99.

Indonesia — chiefly Sumatra, but also Java and Sulawesi — makes some of the most polarising coffee around, and plenty of UK drinkers love it. The traditional wet-hulled (giling basah) process gives a heavy, syrupy, low-acid cup with earthy, herbal, cedar and dark-chocolate notes that taste like nowhere else. It is a natural fit for dark roasts, espresso and anyone who finds bright African coffees too sharp. Sulawesi and washed Javanese lots are cleaner if you want the body without the funk. Sumatran coffee in particular is the classic “rainy-day” bag: rich, savoury and grounding. Try it as filter first to understand the style, then judge it in espresso.
