☕ How to Make the Perfect Indian Coffee at Home (Bru/Nescafé Style)
There ' nothing quite like a steaming cup of strong, frothy Indian coffee to start your day or wind down in the evening...
🧂 Step 1: Choose Your Coffee Brand – Bru or Nescafé?
Your journey to the perfect cup begins with choosing your coffee base:
Bru Instant Coffee: A South Indian favorite, combining coffee with chicory for a rich, earthy flavor — perfect if you like your coffee strong and bold...
Nescafé Classic: A smooth, full-bodied instant coffee that delivers a clean taste, great for those who enjoy a balanced and less bitter brew...
💡 Tip: For an authentic filter coffee vibe, Bru wins with its chicory blend. Prefer a smoother, café-style coffee? Go with Nescafé.
🥛 Step 2: Boil the Milk (or Vegan Alternative)
Use full-fat milk for creaminess. If vegan, choose soy, oat, or almond milk.
- Pour the required amount of milk into a saucepan.
- Heat and stir to prevent skin from forming.
Now, focus your coffee:
Add 1-2 teaspoons of brue or necaffe to a cup.
Pour it in hot water (from boil).
Stir until completely dissolved.
💡 For additional authenticity, add a pinch of chikori powder when not using Bru.
🥣 Step 4: Mix milk and decoction
This is where the magic happens:
Add warm milk to your coffee cup, leaving the place for the decoction.
Add decoction to taste - usually a 1: 3 ratio (decoction: milk).
Stir to mix.
📝 Strong taste? Add more decoction. Milder? Useless.
🍬 Step 5: Sweet your coffee
Add sugar while coffee is still hot so it dissolves easily ...
you can use:
Regular white sugar
Chinese (for a taste like a rustic, caramel)
Coconut Chinese or Stevia (Healthy Options)
💡 Start with 1-2 teaspoons and adjust to your choice.
🌬 Step 6: Fresh up (optional but recommended)
To eliminate that cafe-style:
Use a milk froth or
Put coffee back and forth between two cups for a thick foam
📝 No froor? Stir it in a sealed jar before whisk or adding milk.
☕ Step 7: Serve in traditional way
It seems for that true Indian coffee house:
Serve in a Dabara-Tamballer set (steel cup and sauce)
Put 2-3 times between the two vessels - it makes the foamy top and naturally cools the drink ...
💡 This method mixes taste well ...
