Sidapur - South Indian Filter Coffee Packet|Roasted & Ground|80% Coffee, 20% Chicory (200g)

Fantastic coffee. Robust flavor.

I wanted to try filter coffee at home for everyday purpose. This is perfect for people who are first timer with coffee decoction. This is 80 percent coffee and 20 percent chicory. Though people who want stronger taste and prefer the strong taste may want want to have 50 percent coffee and 50 chicory. All in all great product!

Thanks to the clear instructions on the product page, I was able to make a good cup of filter kaapi. I use a small Rs250 kitchen weighing scale and this made my coffee consistent. I tweaked the ratio that is mentioned on the product page, to suit my taste. Coffee powder:water ratio is 1:2.5 by weight. I add max of 50gm of hot water (not boiling water. once boiled, take water off the flame and let it cool for 1.5min) to 20gm of coffee powder. Once the decoction is collected, I gently press the plunger to get the last few drops. But don't overdo this. Else, the coffee turns bitter. For milk, use full fat milk only and thicken it by boiling it 2-3 times. Decoction:milk ratio is 1:5. This works perfectly for me. You can tweak ratios as per your taste. I use very little sugar, hardly 1gm for 70-80gm of total coffee. My only issue is 1.5month old powder was sent. I have no other problem.Some tips:- Dont heat the decoction. Once decoction is collected, consume it quickly within an hour or two at max.- Try to make fresh decoction.- Dont use microwave to heat water or milk.

J did not like its test as expected

The traditional South Indian filter coffee is known for its aroma, strength, froth and chocolaety bitterness. This coffee has got this right by choosing high quality Arabicas for the great flavor, subtle notes of tropical fruit and caramelly sweetness, blended with select Robustas for the added caffeine punch, strength and slightly teasing bitterness. The roast levels are perfect, somewhere close to full city. The quality and right proportion of chicory adds to the body and the frothy cuppa. With milk and sugar, it is awesome. With some classical South Indian music it is blissful. This is the perfect South India Filter coffee, at its best. (However I do not recommend it for espresso or black coffee variants.)

Tried this to prepare hot coffee and the result was a fresh aromatic filter coffee that has the signature Sidapur Arabica coffee flavour with bold notes from the chicory mixture. Go for it. Pro tip: Experiment with your own brewing style to tone the coffee flavour that's more satisfying to your palate.

Coffee grounds are perfectly roasted and perfectly strong for an amazing cup of strong coffee.

The flavour is good, but I didn't like it that much Even 2 spoons are not that strong, the filter coffee from South Indian restaurants tastes better, I bought this but I am using 2Rs sachets of Nescafe.
