Powder vs whole beans
Whole beans, ground fresh, always taste better and stay fresh for weeks. Pre-ground powder is convenient but stales within days of opening. If you buy powder: buy small, buy often, keep it sealed and cool.
Grind size
South Indian filter wants a fine grind — finer than drip, coarser than espresso. Too coarse and the decoction is weak and sour; too fine and it clogs the filter and turns bitter.
Ratio and chicory
- 80/20, 90/10 Arabica/Robusta — smoother, aromatic.
- 70/30 — the strong classic.
- With chicory — traditional body and woody sweetness; without — pure coffee.
Roast
Medium to medium-dark. Fresh roast date on the pack.
