做法
- 把咖啡粉装入棉布袜(或滤杯)。研磨度选中粗——太细会堵塞袜子。
- 先倒入 100 毫升沸水做润粉,等 30 秒。咖啡粉会膨胀,释出深沉的咖啡香。
- 再倒入剩下的 300 毫升沸水。让它自然滴漏,不要按压。整个过程约 4 分钟。
- 趁热在冲好的咖啡里加糖,搅至完全溶化。
- 倒入小杯(新加坡杯比西式咖啡杯小)。颜色应当是深沉的墨黑色,表面因咖啡—黄油焙炒而带一层油亮光泽。
- 立刻饮用。配咖椰吐司和温泉蛋,就是完整的咖啡店式早餐结构。在新加坡咖啡店点单的暗号:『kopi-o』(黑咖加糖)、『kopi』(加炼乳)、『kopi-c』(加淡奶)、『kopi-o kosong』(纯黑不加糖)。

文化背景
新加坡南洋式咖啡用人造黄油和糖同焙——这是海南厨师的技法,既能柔化罗布斯塔豆的苦味,又能赋予咖啡那种独特的深沉微甜烘焙感。棉布袜过滤(俗称『sok kopi』)是传统冲煮方式;一只袜子用上多年,自有独特风味。咖啡店点单语言自成一脉:『siu dai』少糖,『gah dai』加甜,『di lo』装塑料袋外带、用绳子捆着。Heap Seng Leong、Killiney、亚坤是耳熟能详的招牌。
