The Perfect Madras Filter Coffee at Home

How to make strong, frothy Madras filter coffee at home.

Use a steel filter, fresh coffee powder with a little chicory and water just off the boil. Let the decoction drip slowly for 15 minutes.

Mix one part decoction with three parts hot milk and a little sugar, then pour between the tumbler and dabara to get the froth.

Store coffee powder in an airtight container and buy in small packs for freshness.
