Filter coffee recipe is prepared by adding freshly brewed strong coffee decoction with boiled frothy milk. The powdered coffee bean is used to make this tasty South Indian beverage. I have used coffee powder without chicory. Yes, 100% coffee. Strong perfect thick-brown coffee without chicory.
Coffee is a word but kaapi is a feel. A countless number of coffee varieties are available, but for me, nothing can replace a strong decoction coffee. I use the traditional coffee filter. Filter kaapi is popular in the south side, especially kumbakonam degree coffee, Madras filter kaapi, madras kaapi, mylapore filter coffee, mysore coffee are commonly used kaapi identities which I could remember instantly. Did I miss something?
☕️ Use a clean coffee filter. Make sure the filter pores don’t have any coffee powder traces from previous brewing
☕️Make sure the coffee filter dried properly before brewing
☕️ Always add a max of 1/3 quantity of coffee powder in proportionate to your coffee filter
☕️ If you want to make a large quantity of decoction but have a small coffee filter never add excess coffee powder to the filter. Make decoction in batches
☕️ Always use hot boiling water. I use kettle auto shut/cut off water and it works a like a charm
☕️ Always add water along the sides without pouring water at one shot
☕️Never press forcefully after adding the coffee powder to the filter
☕️ Avoid disturbing or shaking the coffee filter for quick brewing
☕️ stainless filter is going to be extremely hot after adding water. Keep it untouched for at least 15 minutes (brewing time)
☕️ Avoid stirring water and coffee powder in the perforated hole portion
☕️ Pressing the disk is optional I never use it still my coffee comes good. If you are a beginner I would recommend you use that
☕️ Press the pressing disk gently and pour the water gently over it
