India’s ‘filter coffee’ ranks second among top 38 coffees in the world. Full list here

The famous Indian ‘filter coffee’ has secured second position on the esteemed 'Top 38 Coffees In The World' list. The global rating was released recently by TasteAtlas— a popular food and travel guide platform— celebrating the country’s brewed aromatic beverage.

The list is topped by ‘Cuban Espresso’, followed by 'South Indian Coffee' in the second position.

'Cuban Espresso', also known as Café Cubano or Cafecito, is a type of espresso that originated in Cuba. It consists of a sweetened espresso (traditionally with natural brown sugar) prepared using dark roast coffee and sugar. The sugar is added while the coffee is being brewed and vigorously mixed with a spoon into a creamy foam. It is brewed in either a stovetop espresso maker or in an electric espresso machine.

Indian filter coffee is brewed using a simple and effective coffee filter machine. The process involves boiling water in a vessel, called a "decanter", and adding the finely ground coffee powder to the filter. The coffee is then brewed slowly, resulting in a rich and flavorful beverage. This coffee preparation is widely popular in South India, where filter coffee is not just a beverage but a part of the culture and tradition.

In South India, many people set up the filter overnight so that they have freshly brewed coffee ready in the morning. This concoction is mixed with warm milk and sugar and is served in a small glass-like tumbler made of steel or brass.
