    To roast Kopi-O, you need to mix the roasted coffee bean with sugar in a 'wok' and roast for further 10-20 mins. Differrent coffee factories have their own ratio for coffee and sugar.
    The purposes of mixing sugar with coffee are to reduce cost, make the coffee drink look "O" (black) and the taste of caramel.

    It's depend, for example if we need the beans to roast till level 9, then we will add sugar when the beans in level 7-8.
    We grade our roasting by number, 12 is darkest roast.
    We put margerine on tools so that the sugar would not stick with the tools but not for the taste of coffee.
