South Indian Filter Coffee
South Indian Filter Coffee
A timeless brewing tradition, celebrated for its rich aroma and full-bodied flavour.
Brewed using a traditional South Indian filter, hot water slowly passes through finely ground coffee to create a strong decoction. Blended with hot milk to your preference, this method delivers a smooth, robust cup that has been cherished across generations.

Your Guide To Espresso
1
Place the upper chamber on the lower chamber of the filter. Add 15–20 g of freshly ground coffee powder to the upper chamber and gently level the coffee bed.
2
Position the pressing disc (if your filter has one) lightly over the coffee grounds. Do not press too hard, as this can slow down extraction.
3
Pour 150–180 ml of hot water evenly over the coffee bed. Close the lid immediately to retain heat.
4
Allow the coffee to drip slowly into the lower chamber. The extraction process typically takes 10–15 minutes. Avoid opening the filter during brewing.
5
Once dripping is complete, you will have a strong coffee decoction collected in the lower chamber. This concentrated brew forms the base of South Indian filter coffee.
6
Pour 30–50 ml of decoction into a tumbler or mug. Add 120–150 ml of hot milk according to your preferred strength. Sweeten with sugar if desired.
7
Your South Indian Filter Coffee is ready! For the traditional experience, pour the coffee back and forth between a tumbler and davara to create a rich froth and evenly mix the decoction, milk, and sugar. Take a moment before the first sip and enjoy the aroma and smooth, comforting flavour.
