What do I do with this?
A friend of mine bought me coffee beans from Bali…premium quality coffee beans…any idea what I can do with them...?
I digressed in the search for a solution to my problem, into an adventure of the history of coffee in Indonesia… finding out that Coffee is not a native plant to the Indonesian archipelago. In the 17th Century, the Dutch brought Arabica coffee plants to Indonesia – to grow the plants to break the worldwide Arab monopoly on the coffee trade.
According to one website, coffee plantations were responsible for the development of a lot of Central Java infrastructure. The coffee beans here are from Bali’s Kupu Kupu Bola Dunia (Butterfly Globe) factory in Denpasar, a family business of the Tjahjadi family started in 1935.

First, poke a tiny hole in the bag with a pin. Coffee off-gasses.
Are you really serious about asking this question, or am I just the only person who will "take the bait"? Coffee is so common here that it is hard to believe anyone would ask such a question. But since you are from Singapore and offered to send me some gula melaka, I can't let your question go unanswered.
We coffee drinkers grind it up and pour boiling (actually just short of boiling) water over it. Use about 1 tablespoon (15ml) of ground coffee to 1 cup (250ml) of water.
For someone without a coffee maker, you are going to have to let it sit about 4 minutes then somehow sieve it to get rid of the grounds.
Drink it straight up or with sugar, with milk, with cream, with liquer...
Eat them straight. You'll be wired for weeks.
thanks Ms Canthus, Im gonna do just that.
Also, about your blog, I think its lovely :) Im learning so much from it.
btw, I dunno about making coffee from beans cos (1) i usually buy coffee for 1 dollar here or (2) drink 3 in 1s...and (3) punjabis drnk more tea than coffee...
