There are different ways of obtaining flavour from filter

coffee depending on the taste. In India the most commonly

used filter coffee is what is known as South Indian filter

coffee. In this process, coffee powder is placed in the

perforated upper chamber of a stainless steel filter and filled

with hot water in a 1:10 ratio. After 10 minutes the brew is

obtained in the bottom container which is then consumed

by mixing with milk and sugar. The same process can be

used with a slightly higher proportion of water to obtain a

somewhat lighter brew, which can be consumed directly as

black coffee. The more convenient variant for making filter

coffee is by using an electrical coffee maker. It is a faster

way of obtaining brew.

This is a liquid coffee extracted very fast under both high

pressure and temperature. One shot of espresso coffee

measuring about 30 ml is obtained from about 7 to 10 gm

of coffee powder within 30 seconds. Like the speed of

extraction, the coffee is also consumed immediately to

derive the best experience. Coffee connoisseurs consume

espresso directly without mixing it with either milk or sugar.

Coffee extracted in this manner contains much less caffeine

when compared to a cup of filter coffee. Espresso coffee

lends itself excellently to creating a large number of

espresso-based coffee preparations such as Café Latte,

Café Mocha, and Cappuccino, to name a few.
