Filter Coffee Recipe
I have so many coffee addicts in my house including my sister, my mom and me..I am not that much addicted to coffee but if i like to have some coffee, it should be a perfect cup of filter coffee. There are many be so many electronic coffee filter available in market now, but nothing compared to the traditional filter which is used for centuries. In our house we have a coffee filter which my mother got for her marriage from my grandma. She is now planning to give it to me, thats what i call tradition.
Story of Filter Coffee Recipe
Now coming to the story part. My grandpa is a coffee lover, I mean he is mad about coffee. believe it or not, he used to make his own coffee every single morning, he is that much addicted to it. What he does is, he buys the best quality coffee beans from a special place, actually i forgot that place name. That place has it fresh beans in market. Then he roast it in a thick bottom karahi , which he has only for roasting coffee beans. Then he grind that coffee in a traditional coffee grinder..All these coffee beans, karahi and coffee grinder is kept under lock and key in his supervision. My mother used to say that, whenever my grandpa starts to roast the coffee beans, she used to run to grandpa and sneak few coffee beans into her mouth, so my grandpa used to make this when kids are not around him. He is a complete coffee holic, doesn’t he.
Love for Filter Coffee Recipe
My grandpa stays in front of the saucepan in the early morning stirring his milk in a very very low flame for hours to make it thick. He makes the coffee from the thick first decoction. Some of the decoction will be left from that batch and their kids( my Amma, aunties and uncles) used to fight for that. There is one little bandit in that gang, who is my uncle. During those days the whole family sleeps in a big room laying some bedsheets in the floor. My uncle and my elder aunty always fight for the coffee which is made from the leftover decoction which my grandpa used to have. What my uncle does is he keep the pillow below the bed sheets and wakes up without making any noise. My aunty wakes up and sleep again seeing that my uncle is still asleep. But my uncle will take that cup of coffee and wakes my aunty and make funny faces at her..Isn’t that funny. My mother is the last child, so she wakes up so late. What she gets is a cup of hot water kind of coffee.
