Filter Coffee is an imperative piece of the culinary heritage of South India. However, its origin comes from beyond the region.
In the southern states of India, filter coffee is not a daily beverage, but a homely ritual that has unbeatable taste.
According to popular belief, Sufi Baba Budan smuggled exactly seven pieces of coffee beans to India by hiding them in his beard on his way back from Mecca.
He settled in the Chandragiri Hills in Chikmaglur and planted these beans. Hundreds of years later, filter coffee has become a phenomenon in South Indian households.
Filter coffee is made by using the Indian filter with two compartments, one that holds the ground roasted coffee placed with hot water, and the second that collects the decoction.
It is a tradition to consume the filter coffee from a steel tumbler accompanied by a dabarah, which cools down the coffee.
