A rich Filter Coffee relies on various elements: selecting the right beans, roasting them well, blending them thoughtfully, grinding them properly, choosing the correct brewing technique, and serving it in the right way. Precision is required at every stage of the classic brewing process to achieve the perfect initial cup of coffee.

Let's delve into the soothing, fragrant tradition of preparing a flawless cup of Filter Coffee, a practice beloved by numerous coffee lovers. This coffee, which is brewed slowly, is prepared with a stainless steel or bronze filter, usually composed of two metal compartments stacked one on top of the other. Start by warming up the top section (the one containing holes) for a brief period, then position it on top of the lower part. Include 1-2 tablespoons of finely crushed coffee. Boil 1/4 cup of water until it is boiling vigorously, and then pour it over the coffee grounds in the filter. Place the lid on top, giving some time for the flavourful liquid to seep down into the bottom part.

While waiting, warm milk until it starts to bubble, then transfer it into a glass. Add sugar or jaggery to taste for sweetness. The last step involves pouring the milk back and forth between two glasses to achieve a creamy frothy texture, being careful not to let it cool.
