Filter Kaapi

            ...or  Filter Coffee as we know it is the most popular beverage in the Southern States of India.  Its still served in traditional steel utensils only - the steel glass "tumbler" holds the coffee and the steel bowl is used to cool the coffee down in case you are in a hurry! The expanded space causes evaporation and hence faster cooling. We drank some of the best filter coffee in Madras (now Chennai) and Tirupathi in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Filter Coffee is a sweet milky coffee made from dark roasted coffee beans (70%–80%) and chicory (20%–30%), especially popular in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. The most commonly used coffee beans are Peaberry (preferred), Arabica, Malabar and Robusta grown in the hills of Kerala (Malabar region), Karnataka (Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru) and Tamil Nadu (Nilgiris District,Yercaud and Kodaikanal). The signature froth is created by pouring the coffee to and from the glass to the bowl in a  vigorous motion.
