250 Gm Behold Aaa Grade Arabica 80/20 Filter Coffee Powder

Filter coffee with an 80:20 ratio of coffee to chicory is a popular preparation method in certain regions, especially in South India. It is known for its unique flavor profile and aromatic qualities. Let’s break it down:

• Coffee: The main component of this blend is coffee. In this context, it typically refers to a medium to dark roast of coffee beans. The type of coffee used can vary, but commonly Arabica or Robusta beans are used. Each type contributes different characteristics to the final taste.
• Chicory: Chicory is a plant root that is roasted and ground to be used as a coffee additive or substitute. It does not contain caffeine and has a somewhat bitter, woody, and nutty flavor. The addition of chicory to coffee creates a unique taste that is different from pure coffee. Chicory is also believed to have some health benefits, like aiding digestion.
• 80:20 Ratio: The ratio mentioned (80:20) refers to the proportion of coffee to chicory in the blend. So, for every 100 parts of the coffee-chicory mixture, 80 parts will be coffee, and 20 parts will be chicory. This ratio can be adjusted based on personal preference, and some people may prefer different ratios like 70:30 or 90:10.
• Preparation: To make filter coffee with an 80:20 chicory blend, the coffee-chicory mixture is usually brewed using a traditional Indian coffee filter or a drip coffee maker. The coffee filter is a two-chambered metal device where the top chamber holds the coffee-chicory mixture, and hot water is poured over it. The brewed coffee then drips down into the bottom chamber, resulting in a strong and flavorful decoction.
• Serving: Once the coffee decoction is ready, it is typically mixed with hot milk (or frothed milk) and sweetened with sugar to taste. The resulting beverage is known for its deep color, strong flavor, and enticing aroma.

Filter coffee with chicory is an acquired taste, and its popularity can vary depending on regional preferences. Some people love its distinct flavor, while others may prefer a more straightforward coffee taste without chicory. It’s worth trying if you want to explore different coffee varieties and enjoy a taste that is unique to this preparation method.
