The Brass Coffee Filter: The brass coffee filter consists of two cylindrical compartments. The upper compartment has tiny perforations at the base and a pressing disc with a stem, which is used to compress the coffee grounds. Freshly ground coffee is placed in the upper compartment, and boiling water is poured over it. The water seeps through the coffee grounds, slowly dripping into the lower compartment, producing a strong, aromatic decoction that forms the base for South Indian filter coffee.
Dabara Set And Spoon : Accompanying the coffee filter is the dabara set, which includes a tumbler and a saucer-like container called the “dabara” or “davara.” Traditionally made of brass, the tumbler and dabara are designed to enhance the coffee-drinking experience. The coffee is poured from a height to mix the decoction and milk, creating a frothy top layer. The act of cooling the coffee by pouring it back and forth between the tumbler and dabara is not just a practical step to achieve the right temperature, but also a delightful ritual that enhances the coffee’s flavor and aroma. And The brass spoon, often ornately designed, completes the set. It is used to stir the coffee, ensuring the perfect blend of decoction, milk, and sugar. The spoon’s design, often reflecting traditional South Indian artistry, adds a touch of elegance to the coffee-making and drinking process.
Cultural Significance: In South India, the preparation and serving of coffee are deeply ingrained in the cultural fabric. The use of brass, known for its health benefits, not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also imparts a unique taste to the coffee. The entire process, from filtering the decoction to serving in the dabara set, is an intimate ritual that signifies hospitality, warmth, and a shared moment of joy.
Maintenance: To maintain the quality of the coffee and the filter itself, it’s important to clean the brass filter regularly. This usually involves rinsing it thoroughly and occasionally using a mild cleaning solution. Over time, the filter may develop a patina, which is a thin layer that forms on the surface of the brass, giving it a characteristic appearance.
