Why South Indian Filter Coffee Deserves a Spot in Your Morning Routine

Before espresso machines and pour-overs, there was the humble South Indian filter. This traditional brewing method has been the heartbeat of Indian households for generations, producing coffee that’s rich, silky, and layered with warmth.

What makes it special is the combination of freshly ground Arabica beans and roasted chicory root. The chicory lends natural sweetness and body, while the coffee delivers aroma and depth. At Le Mil’s Coffee, we’ve reimagined this age-old ritual through our Estate Secret Chicory Blend, featuring 80% Arabica and 20% chicory, a ratio passed down for decades.

When brewed in a brass filter, this blend releases an aroma that fills your kitchen and comforts the soul. It’s less about caffeine and more about connection, slow mornings, laughter, and the soothing rhythm of coffee dripping into a tumbler.
