The Hindu paper and Filter Coffee




What a beautiful combination!!! Filter coffee and Hindu paper. Still my dad, follows that with a little bit of change. Instead of The Hindu paper, he goes for The Hindu , Website :-)Nothing comes like paper, he comments.

Both the things are hot and to be consumed simultaneously. There is always something special about the south indian filter coffee. Usually, it is served in the dabara tumbler which followed...well, couple of years before. Mugs, cups came when I was in teen age. Its always a tradition to drink in this dabara tumbler and the froth which comes up doesn't match today's espresso or lattes or even cappuccino.

Especially,when mom gives you the coffee in the early morning (Ofcourse after brushing teeth)...The aroma itself calls you in to the diving world. Adding the coffee powder in to the filter and getting the essence of it is a very big task and its a art too!After being trained by my mother to make the decoction, i finally hit the right formula to make it strong.Now, am ready to demonstrate you how to make a realy fresh filter coffee...in the next post.
