Spot on. I remember reading that Bali's first barista-brewered cappuccino was only served sometime in 2010s (in Balian, no less). Expats complaining about the price of their oat milk flat whites only a decade or so later don't know how lucky they are that they have options other than Bali Kopi (which is still a must-try experience btw).
Thanks for sharing. How much has a meal at a local warung been?
The minimum monthly wage in the Bali regencies and land prices are possibly almost double that in Timor or Flores though - so actually proportionally I wonder if anything, your coffees have been even more expensive there!
Love the picture that you added to this article. How ironic. 😉
Enjoy your coffee.

I’m actually heading back to London shortly so will soon see how London coffee prices have changed in the past 6 months!

I’ve not paid more than 30k IDR for an iced latte in Timor or Flores so they does sound expensive to me

A standard nasi goreng ayam is 25k
Urgh, this 'extraxt what you can' mentality seems like colonialism in a new guise.
yes totally agree! ranges from subtle to blatantly obvious
'Extract' even, as I can't seem to edit!
