Like typical tambrams, I and my husband cannot live without our daily dose of steaming hot filter coffee. Whenever we are out of station, good filter coffee is one item we crave for. Immediately after settling down in Mumbai , the first thing I wanted to know was where I could get good coffee powder for my filter coffee. I realized that practically all south Indians living on this side of Mumbai, ordered their coffee powder from typical south Indian areas like Matunga or Mulund. We coffee lovers can go to any length of the city to get our favourite coffee powder. It is universally applicable for all tambrams. Seeing international outlets like Starbucks or Barista or Bru cafes makes me wonder whether they would survive in a filter coffee loving towns like Thanjavur or Kumbakonam in South India. In fact, I and my husband have tried drinking different varieties of coffee at Barista, Starbucks or Columbian coffee outlets and have always comeback feeling that our own filter coffee is the best anywhere we go. The aroma of coffee filtering through our traditional coffee filters is one addicitve aroma without which we cannot imagine our mornings. I am still not able to accept cold coffee as a genuine cup of coffee. It is more like any other milkshake we have. So, as far as I am concerned, south indian filter coffee is way ahead of all those coffees served at flashy international outlets. Come and taste our coffee and you will only return for more.
