Filter Coffee

A super delicious and warm cup of Filter Coffee is what you need to ward off your Monday blues or to sip it with some delicious and hot dosa or vada in the evening. Indian Filter Coffee is a coffee beverage particularly famous in South India and is made by blending frothed boiled milk with the mixture obtained by filtration brewing of fine ground coffee powder in a traditional Indian filter. Across other regions and internationally, the beverage is known as Filter Kaapi in Tamil, Madras Filter Coffee or South Indian Filter Coffee to differentiate it from the usual drip brew coffee.

This famous coffee is also served in several South Indian hotels, restaurants, and street-side food stalls along with the typical south Indian snacks. The coffee is made using a specific filter coffee tumbler that resembles two cylindrical cups where one of them has small holes in its base, which when put on top of the other tumbler, leaves ample space to get the brewed coffee. There is also a pressing disc with a handle and a lid and has holes on four sides. The coffee powder used is made by roasting the coffee beans and then coarsely grounding them to a powder. The taste of the filter coffee mainly depends on the type of ground coffee used which is different from the instant coffee powder.

In south India, Filter Coffee is generally served with breakfast, but it can also be enjoyed at any given time of the day. It is easy to make and has a distinct taste from that of the regular coffee. Be it breakfast time with a hot and delectable masala dosa, a rainy evening day, or midnight cravings, filter coffee fits every reason and every craving ideally without loosing its impact.
