Sudha maami, adhu epdi seiveenga?... coffee powderaa nalla pres panni vititu melai hot water oothidanuma?... aamam oru velai idhanaala thaan unga coffee cofftea-a irukko???!!!...

Naan ippo last 2 weekla thaan coffee pote palaginen... I just hate the smell of coffee...

[sudha india]

Dev, adhennamo coffee and tea silar potta nalla irukku silarukku varadhe illainu solranga. Enakku idhu puriyave illai. But my coffee will be super. But epdi tea pottalum nallaave varadhu.

I put the required coffee powder and will not press. Just put the powder and pour boiling water to it. There will be bubbles when the water goes a bit down and I pour more water and close the filter.

Good coffee depends on the powder also.

100% pure coffee will not be strong and you need more dicoction to get the right strength and colour.

My uncle was working as factory manager in one of the coffee plant. he used to say that a blend of 85% pure coffee and 15% chicory will give you a super coffee, and thats true.

I get the coffee powder from Coffee day with the above blend.

Another idea is, get 1/4 kg of the available coffee powder from shop (Green label which has more chicory) and also get pure coffee powder like Narasus, etc. and mix both.

// Dev, andha Cofftea kadhai was only for Ganesh. I ran out of coffee powder and tried to put tea. I put a tea bag in hot milk. The tea was horrible. Naanum unga kitta maatikitten//

Inumeh asathida ventiyathu thaan.

Aarthii's little prince is two years old handsome guy.

Thanks. Kugan98

Sudha thanks for all your nice comments.
I too at times just add in mixed masala powder
minus the tamarind.


Appo coffeekku umbrella vendanu sollerengga.?
try panni pakiren.
I use Narasus coffee from India.
Every relative who comes from India will bring me a packet.

When I am in the mood I will make filter coffee.
Other wise just mix in a coffee pot.
I am coffee crazy.
Thanks. Kugan98

Aarthii ma, thanks for all the nice posts and comments.
Take your time. I was wondering why you are not
in the thread.
Thank your chitti for her recipes, also try to get more of
her favourite recipes.
Take care, my love to your prince.

Ya, Kugan. I have never used the umbrella. Adhu thevai illai.

Is your coffee powder with chicory or is it a pure coffee ? try with little chicory mix. the coffee will get stronger.

Sudha, try panni paarkiren unga coffee making tips ellam...Thanks a lot... Inga enna coffee mixnu theriyalai... paarkanum...

Dev - namma Dr.Latha says, if you cannot give up coffee, at least don't use chicory. Pure coffee colour varaadhu, but taste will be good. Narasus also has pure coffee instant. If you add 1/4 tsp along with your decoction, you get super coffee, even if the decoction is not fresh.

hi friends,

here we had holidays for EID . so i had guests for all four days. athukula ethanai conversations and receipes. all are very interesting. kovakai receipe is different, i never used tamarind, i have to try with tamarind next time.

Also, for filter coffee, i will not use umbrella, i use thin dhoti cloth, u get nice decoction. also i use coffee day powder. i bring from india and store it in the freezer.
