Coffee at a high temperature.
Contexto cultural
Coffee is traditionally served in a brass 'Tumbler and Davarah'. The coffee is poured from a height to create foam. In traditional homes, 'Degree Coffee' is famous, referring to the purity of the milk used. This town is world-famous for its 'Filter Coffee' shops that line the highways. While Starbucks exists, the local 'Coffee Manyam' or 'Mylapore Filter Coffee' stalls are where the real 'sudāna kāpi' culture lives.
