South Indian Filter Coffee



Filter coffee is a most loved Indian beverage. The name derived from the special utensil use to filter the coffee powder. A strong decoction brew a perfect filter coffee. Everytime, we visit India, filter coffee is our everyday perk me up and we even carry a thermos of filter coffee everywhere. The filter i'm using is a gift from a friend and the coffee powder are all the way from India as well. Choosing a right brand of coffee powder is very important for a perfect cuppa. Ditch your skimmed or low fat milk as fresh or whole milk brings out the real flavor of traditional South Indian filter coffee.
