Indian Filter coffee

South Indian Coffee is known as filter coffee. We use fresh ground coffee powder.Buy the coffee seeds and roast and powder at home .We use filter to make coffee. Put the coffee powder on the upper cup and press with the stemmed disc into uniform layer across the cups pierced bottom.Pour boiled water on the top cup. Slowly it started dripping and brewed coffee collects into the the bottom cup.. Boil the milk and sugar, add this decoction according to our tastes.

Filter to prepare coffee
I use Starbucks coffee powder and regular coffee powder in equal parts and prepare my coffee. It tastes very good.
