Who doesn’t love the beloved South Indian Filter Coffee or as we correctly pronounce: Filter Kaapi! However, I have seen many people in Kolkata drink it the wrong way, including my contemporaries! . ✅ How to Drink your Filter Kaapi Correctly: •Filter coffee is served piping hot in a tumbler and placed inside the dabarah. • The process of pouring between the tumbler and dabarah is a ritual, allowing the drinker to cool the coffee slightly and produce a signature frothy layer. • To drink, one sips directly from the tumbler (without a handle), often after swirling or mixing the coffee to ensure the perfect blend of milk, decoction, and sugar. • It’s customary to savor the drink slowly, enjoying both its flavor and the sensory experience of its aroma and froth. • Pouring technique is key – the aeration and froth are hallmarks of a well-made filter kaapi. . Here’s a quick #infostorywithapinchofsalt The drink began its journey in the 17th century, tracing back to when Indian Sufi Baba Budan is said to have smuggled seven raw coffee beans from Arabia during a pilgrimage to Mecca and planted them in the hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka. These plants flourished and became the foundation for India’s coffee industry. . Coffee initially remained a drink of the upper-class Brahmins in South India, being part of their morning rituals. Over time, especially following the establishment of Indian Coffee Houses in the mid-20th century, coffee drinking spread across all communities in southern India, breaking class barriers. . So the next time you sip on that cuppa, you’re actually sipping an important component of history! .
