FILTER COFFEE

FILTER COFFEE

Ingredients:

2 heaped tbs of coffee powder
2 cups of boiling fresh milk
¾ cup of boiling hot water
2 tsps of sugar.

Method:
Remove the lid and umbrella.
Put the 2 tbs of coffee in the upper compartment.
Press with the umbrella.
Gently pour the boiling water over the umbrella in the top container.

The decoction will collect into the lower container.
In a tumbler pour up to ¾ level hot milk.
Add decocotion with constant stirring to make coffee to suit your liking,
mild or strong. Add in 1 tsp of the sugar. (more if you like)
Swish the coffee between the tumbler and the davaraa.
You will get delicious foam on the top.
Sip and enjoy the steaming coffee.

Coffee expert Sudhaka says:
I put the required coffee powder and will not press. Just put the powder and pour boiling water to it. There will be bubbles when the water goes a bit down and I pour more water and close the filter.

Good coffee depends on the powder also.

100% pure coffee will not be strong and you need more dicoction to get the right strength and colour.

My uncle was working as factory manager in one of the coffee plant. he used to say that a blend of 85% pure coffee and 15% chicory will give you a super coffee, and thats true.

I get the coffee powder from Coffee day with the above blend.

Another idea is, get 1/4 kg of the available coffee powder from shop (Green label which has more chicory) and also get pure coffee powder like Narasus, etc. and mix both.
