A unique kind of coffee is Indian filter coffee.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Known as Kaapi (phonetic coffee in Hindu), Indian filter coffee is a popular drink in the Southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Indian filter coffee is three fourths coffee and one forth chicory.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Local coffees are used in this drink.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
In order of local preference one makes Indian filter coffee with Peaberry, Arabica, Malabar or Robusta from Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu regions.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Although locally made Indian filter coffee is made with local coffee beans, feel free to use healthy organic coffee, one of the Colombian organic coffee brands.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
But, if you want to do this traditionally where do you find Peaberry or Malabar coffee beans?
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Peaberry Coffee
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Peaberry coffee is also known as caracole.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Peaberry coffee is made from rounded coffee beans.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Normally the coffee berry has two seeds and the sides facing each other are flattened.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
About one in twenty coffee beans are single seeds and rounded.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
These are peaberries. Tanzanian coffees are commonly associated with peaberries as are some Kona coffees.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Rounded peaberries roast differently from other coffee beans, more evenly.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Ideally these rounded beans are roasted separately from regular flat sided coffee beans.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
This requires manual separation of the beans.

Malabar Coffee
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Malabar coffee is from the Malabar region of India.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
It is in the South between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Coffee leaf rust arrived in India more than a century before it reach the Western Hemisphere.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Growers replaced their Arabica coffee with Robusta and bred for leaf rust resistance.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Thus Malabar is always a non-Arabica variety.

Chicory
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Chicory is a perennial plant often used as a coffee substitute or additive.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
The roots of chicory are baked and ground and added to coffee.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Chicory is not only used in Indian filter coffee.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1293/indian-filter-coffee/
Adding chicory to coffee is common in New Orleans.
