23.01.2022 ~ Making a traditional cup of KAAPI ~ from the blend, brewing style and preparation (how the milk is treated, swished and frothed), there are distinctive elements that makes Indian Filter Coffee taste the way it is. Here's a quick video by @gaeaborn who enjoyed her morning cuppa and captured the highlights of making Indian Filter Coffee the traditional way : , blend of MED-DARK Indian specialty coffees for a strong caffeine jolt when you need it.... Perfect for coffee purists who enjoy their coffee with milk and for black coffee lovers who enjoy an earthy full-bodied cup. . . #ozkaapi #melbournemade #filtercoffeemelbourne #indiancoffeemelbourne #kaapi #melbournecoffeeculture

17.01.2022 Most ancient coffee drinking nations invented their own contraptions to brew coffee to enjoy it the way they love. In India, this is how we roll @amomscookbook... . . The Indian filter coffee brew is closer to an espresso in strength, but that delicate smoothness is from the slow drip batch brewing that happens in a filter pot. If you'd like to get into immersive manual coffee brewing, now's the time, the humble filter is back in stock . . #ozkaapi #melbournemade #indianfilterpot #filtercoffeemelbourne #indianfiltercoffee

17.01.2022 ~ UPCYCLING spent KAAPI, take 1 ~ A week ago, we wondered how best to use up our spent filter coffee grounds. As some of you might already know, there is not 1 but many ways to use it up, one of which is a coffee scrub/exfoliator. And while it's easy enough to put together a DIY exfoliator, it's good to get an expert's opinion to do it right and be most effective. ... Check out this amazing DIY skin remedy that Bhuvi of PetalDew - Simplify and Sanctify Your Skincare Ritual recommends using staples readily available in your kitchen pantry - (coffee, brown sugar, coconut cream, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil & turmeric). She also dives deep into the topic of skin health and explains the role each of these ingredients play. So slay it like a pro \m/ and your skin will thank you! Have a good w.e all. . . #ozkaapi #petaldewskincare #naturalskincare #sustainableliving #melbournemade #filtercoffeemelbourne

17.01.2022 ~ Know your KAAPI ~ ? ? Pre-COVID and lockdowns, our one and only core offering was our original house blend that pays homage to the South Indian chicory blended coffee. This is a standout offering as it’s very unique in its taste profile and a hit with locals and traditional Indian filter coffee drinkers alike. The French introduced this style of coffee to India when they occupied parts of South India... in the 17th Century. . . A little excerpt from our interview for @beatmagazine . . (1) our Chakram blend traditionally brewed and enjoyed by Bhuvi @bhuviyer While coffee brews are named after the brewing technique used, the truth is, generally chicory blended Indian coffee is what most people associate the taste of "Indian filter coffee" with. While the brewing method also largely determines the taste of your brew, the uniqueness in taste profile which chicory imparts, shines through even when you brew with a stovetop (2) enjoyed by our dear friend @foxyarchitect . .

15.01.2022 ...Not that traditional filter KAAPI was ever drunk in weather under 36C Instead here we are sippin' on a cool KAAPI Spritzer made with our KAAPI Decoction on couple of ice cubes + Sprite + Lime peels and a squeeze of lime. [insert horror face of the filter KAAPI purist] ... BUT try this new dairy free concoction for a refreshing caffeineted pick-me in this hot weather. It's pretty darn good P.S. for the head, shake together a dash of decoction + Sprite and pour at the end. P.P.S. perfect to add a splash of black rum as the sun goes down! . . #ozkaapi #kaapidownunder #filtercoffeemelbourne #melbournecoffeeculture #coffeespritzer

12.01.2022 In a coffee crazed nation, what good is one day in a year to celebrate coffee here in Melbourne, it's International Coffee Day, everyday! Jokes apart, this day marks the importance of this beverage in helping power everything from lives to economies of the world, not to discount the joy it brings the people who grow, roast, brew and drink it! On that note, we are bringing KAAPI to you here Down Under as a way to discover and/reminisce the craze Indian filter coffee is, i...n India, with the works - everything that makes it a unique and mesmerising experience. We have relied on our KAAPI to speak for itself, and on you to share the good word! And we are still here thanks to you we'll make sure to get this coffee well showcased! @getawaytales so stoked Rho! It's what we set out to do and so thrilled to hear your kind words! Happy International Coffee Day y'all . . #ozkaapi #melbournemade #indiancoffeemelbourne #filtercoffeemelbourne #melbournecoffee #downsouthdownunder

12.01.2022 ~ KAAPI Talk ~ Indian Coffee!? Say what! When people give us quizzical looks, we like to tell them how the Indian coffee history is perhaps older than its tea culture. While it may come as a surprise to many, Indian tea wasn't popularised as a household beverage until the Tatas (pushed forth by the British) put out national tele ads in an attempt to thwart the rapidly rising Chinese tea trade into India. ... At one of our last pop-ups, a senior customer fondly recounted memories of how as a boy he used to buy green coffee beans, for his mum to freshly skillet roast the coffee at home!! Pretty keen we are about our coffee you see! A trip Down South India here Down Under begins with a cup of our KAAPI @thewelldressedtales . . #ozkaapi #kaapidownunder #melbournecoffeeculture #filtercoffeemelbourne

07.01.2022 What will you call a coffee brewed using an Indian Filter Pot and served such? This is what we asked on our story. And many of your answered Indian Filter Coffee, and a few said Latte. Technically it's neither, but we think it's CLOSER to a Latte than an Indian Filter Coffee. Why? Read on... . . The Indian Filter Coffee is a serving style, like a caffe latte or a long black. ... VISUALLY, only a milk coffee with a frothy head will pass for an Indian Filter Coffee. The texturing of milk (thus) also gives it a distinctive taste as opposed to other milk coffees. Sure, a latte or long black or most other coffee serving styles are based on an espresso as a base. The term espresso is also derived when coffee is brewed specifically on an espresso machine. But what if you brewed an espresso like strong concentrate using a stovetop or an aeropress (both methods of brewing), and served it with micro-foam textured milk with a latte art on it. Mind you it will pass visually and in taste for a latte, BUT what would you call it? Thoughts?

06.01.2022 ~ KAAPI Blues ~ except that these unlike your Monday one gives you that extra kick to keep going we've had an interesting last week. One that had an international delivery, another that went missing, yet another cancelling, a shipping rate negotiation (that one was interesting!) and some lovely reviews that came through. So in the end it's fairly ok really! Perfect shot by @dsimages the man behind the cup and also the lens, capturing a bold Kattan KAAPI (long black), the... way he most enjoys it!
