I was introduced to the term “coffee-not-coffee” in Southeast Asia last year by a guide who kept referring to the beverage we had to try. It took some sleuthing to uncover the actual brew, which turned out to be soybeans and scorched corn - as dark as coffee, similarly flavored, but definitely not-coffee!
