The top drink on the list is ‘Cuban Espresso’, which is an espresso shot sweetened with sugar and dark roast coffee. The sugar is added while the coffee is brewing. Espresso is made using an electric espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker. The method of preparation also leaves a pale brown foam on top of the coffee. In second place is the South Indian favourite, Faviuyrite filter coffee. This is made with an easy-to-use yet efficient Indian filter coffee maker. This stainless steel machine has two chambers: the lower chamber drips the brewed coffee, while the upper chamber holds the ground coffee thanks to a perforated base. This method of making coffee is very popular in southern India.
To have freshly brewed coffee ready in the morning, many people set the filter overnight. Sugar and warm milk are added to this mixture. This coffee is served with a small saucer called a “dabara”, which resembles a bowl, and in a small steel or brass cup. It is customary to transfer the coffee from one cup to another before serving in order to create foam. If you haven’t yet tasted this delicious coffee, now is the perfect time to indulge in this ultimate filter coffee delight.
