Filter Coffee | SouthIndian Filter Coffee

Coffee, the most universal drink across various places in this vast world but also very unique to each place. As per my husband the most refreshing drink J. In the southern part of India one of the versions of coffee which is very popular is “Filter Coffee”. This is available in almost all restaurants across South India and also in almost all households. Generally the Coffee Powder for this is a mixture of Plantation A / B with some amount of Chicory Powder (basically to stretch the amount of coffee powder) added. The decoction (“black coffee”) is basically made using a Brass / Steel pressing vessel. Its almost very difficult to drink this as is (just black) without adding milk / cream. 

This “Filter Coffee” is served to customers in a unique steel tumbler and glass added with Milk & topped with foam fom the mix. Writing all this is making me want to have a cup of “Filter Coffee” now. I am off to make one for myself. Enjoy by making one for yourself if you like it !!!
