I love it! You guys are like the desi James Hoffman! 💯

[chemistrykrang]

Stop it immediately, I came here from your video on James Hoffman's channel and he's already made me spend all my money on coffee and brewers... and now you've got me wanting to try a South Indian filter too! My kitchen cupboards are already full!

Seriously though, thanks for talking about something a bit different, and I'm loving your channel.

Some New Orleans or Louisiana style coffee contains chicory as well! It is very common to include chicory in cafe au lait.
Also - I just tried your slow espresso recipe with a Vietnamese phin and it was delicious. I could not believe how good it tasted!

Great channel! Looking forward to more interesting content !

I have been making filter kaapi or degree kaapi using a blend of 80% Ethiopian coffee and 20% chicory. I really like the way kaapi tastes, reminds me of the many dabra's of kaapi I learned to love in Assam while I was growing up there. Also, you have to say "Ay-yo" a few times as you savor the kaapi!!!! :):)

Hi, I tried your previous slow espresso recipe, but maybe because I'm using a different brass filter, but the drip down didn't happen, would you know what parameters I should look at when the drip is blocked? or if the drip down goes too fast? is it how do I tweak the grind?

[drganeshlakshmanl]

I guess the compressor is important, because you have to use it to remove the air pockets, and also it allows slow percolation of water through the tiny gaps in the coffee granules and to get nice
and thick And using It will make the coffee granules chamber more porous and the water will pass through those large holes very very fast resulting in a very diluted It can be seen by the colour of the resultant

Fun fact most coffee in South India is grown in chickmagalur.

[hds]

What would happen if I make this with a light-roasted very acidic coffee?

[amuslim]

Do I buy roasted chickory and grind it with the coffee beans or do I buy chickory already grinder and blend them with coffee that I grind? Please help, I want to make it authentic. Other than being medium roast beans, is there anything else you would recommend about the beans? I have medium roast Ethiopian right now.

Which is the right utensil to drink from? The glass itself or the other one shaped like katori

[pronitaganguly]

I was thinking of buying pourover equipment but after seeing this and staying in Bangalore for a month, i will buy a filter coffee machine.
Is brass better than steel? What's the advantage 😊🙏

[drswekcharanjan]

What else can I use to brew filter coffee ?

[idiotsofbangalore]

How much decoction is needed for that small steel tumbler ? How many ML?

[ayshabinthnoor]

Hey...i like piping hot coffee...the problem i face when having filter coffee is the decoction which cools a little cools down the whole coffee. How to avoid that?

[Nish]

Best place I can source the equipment of the South Indian filter coffee in India

[parallel_me]

Can you make a video about the Grinder you use and how to grind perfectly for this filter?
