The South Indian filter coffee, a beloved beverage cherished by millions, has recently been titled the second-best coffee globally by TasteAtlas. Known for its peculiar brewing method, and rich aromatic flavors, this coffee has captured the hearts of many food enthusiasts globally.
What makes it so special? Unlike conventional coffee served in mugs or tall glasses, filter coffee offers a soulful and homely experience. It’s severed in home-like steel cups, and people who often sip it, say it must be sipped after numerous pour alterations.
The traditional brewing process involves a stainless steel filter machine with two chambers. Firstly, ground coffee is placed in the upper chamber, and hot water is poured over it. And then, as the coffee slowly drips into the lower chamber, the subtle nuances of the flavors are extracted, creating a brew that is the best.
Having its deep roots in South India, it’s supposedly a morning staple that has been followed by many through generations. Interestingly, they call it “Kaapi,” served with dosas, vada, and other things on the plate. But again, people sip it with everything.
This freshly brewed flavor is a good kick and it instantly elevates people’s mood. Even in the UAE, multiple joints specialize in making these in the most effective way.
