after reading from a variety of sources and the results of my personal observations as the Aceh.

Stories about the enjoyment of coffee in Aceh did tempt anyone. Every guest who visited Aceh whether she connoisseur of coffee or not as mandatory to try the coffee flavor is said is often called one of the best in the world.

In the context of this paper, I take political definitions in sections: politics is pursued efforts of citizens to discuss and realize the goodness and prosperity.

Does coffee drinking habits part of the culture and the political behavior of the people of Aceh? Before answering these questions of course, we must first define the concept of culture and politics itself as well as how the image of the coffee drinking habits in the people of Aceh.

Anthropology were interested to human life with a wide variety of system actions, then the given limits of the concept of culture or culture, science is different from other sciences. Also when compared with the usual meaning given to the concept of the everyday, which is limited to things that are as beautiful as temples, dance, visual art, sound art, literature and philosophy.

Antrophology definition is much broader in scope. According to anthropology, culture is the whole idea, action, and a man's work in the context of a society that belong to self made man with learning.

The same analogy can be applied to the habit of drinking coffee on the Acehnese people. Of course, drinking coffee has the form as concepts, habits, but also has his form is the form of actions and interactions patterned (between coffee producers, coffee buyers, consumers of coffee) and coffee drinking habits also have elements in the form of equipment, commodities , etc.

Drinking coffee in a stall for the people of Aceh is not a born just like that, but this practice has been longstanding and passed down from generation to generation, summarized in the system idea / ideas, social systems, and culture in the form of objects as a form of cultural property of the people of Aceh.

However the way, the coffee drinking habits also have spacious dimensions as a social space, where people can use it as a place to communicate and interact in various ways such as politics.

Anthropology scholars commonly respond to a culture as an integrated whole, the overall analysis time will divide it into major elements of the so-called elements of universal culture or cultural universal.

Thus, it can be said that every culture of a nation or a society divided into a number of elements, both elements of both large and small elements that are part of a roundness that is unity. A number of earlier elements are referred to as the principal elements of culture, or can be called cultural universe. What is a universal culture is that cultural elements that can be found in every culture everywhere.

There are seven elements that can be found in all the world. The seventh element we could call the main contents of every culture in the world are: Language, knowledge systems, social organization, systems and technology equipment life, livelihood systems, System Religion and Art

In fact, the definition of which assume that the "culture" and "cultural action" it is a symptom that should be socialized by humans to learn (learned behavior), also proposed by some famous anthropologists such as C. Wissler, C. Kluckhon, A. Davis, or Hoebel.

Supposedly drinking coffee can be utilized in positive activities in order to build public opinion on various things, such as construction. What happened in Aceh is not much different from the habit of drinking coffee at a few other places, both in Indonesia and abroad, such as in the Philippines which is described in the article Antonio Lopez [6] (1995) "Cofee shop culture: Days in the life of Manila's Gossip Mill "by saying that the coffee shop has become an institution as a place for people to bring the news and bearer of the mind, so it is possible as a shaper of public opinion in order to discuss and realize the goodness and prosperity, such as political definitions described in section subconcepts political and culture above.
