Filter Coffee Decoction: Pour, Mix, and Sip Guide
This guide is designed to help you master the art of the perfect cup using S10 Brews premium decoction. Whether you are a connoisseur of traditional "Degree Coffee" or a busy professional looking for a high-quality caffeine fix, this is the most efficient way to enjoy authentic South Indian filter coffee.
The "Pour, Mix, Sip" Method
In a world that never stops, S10 Brews has compressed a 20-minute traditional brewing ritual into a 30-second masterpiece. Here is how to achieve that perfect, frothy balance every single time.
1. The Pour (The Foundation)
Start with a clean cup or a traditional steel dabara set.
- The Ratio: Pour 20ml to 30ml of S10 Brews coffee decoction into the cup.
- The Secret: Our decoction is a thick, potent 80:20 blend of estate-grown coffee and premium chicory. You’ll notice the deep, syrupy consistency—this is the "soul" of the coffee that instant powders simply cannot replicate.
2. The Mix (The Alchemy)
This is where the magic happens.
- The Milk: Use hot, full-fat milk for the most authentic experience.
- The Technique: Pour the milk from a slight height to create a natural froth.
- Sweetness: Add sugar to taste. In South India, a touch of sugar helps highlight the woody notes of the chicory.
3. The Sip (The Reward)
Give it a quick stir (or do the traditional "long pour" between two vessels to maximize the foam).
- The Experience: Notice the aroma first. Because S10 Brews uses small-batch roasting, the volatile oils are preserved in the liquid.
- The Taste: It should be bold, slightly creamy, and leave a lingering chocolatey aftertaste.
Why Choose Decoction Over Powder?
While we also offer premium filter coffee powder for those who love the slow ritual, our ready-to-use decoction is the ultimate "life hack" for the modern world.

Pro-Tips for the Perfect Brew
- Don't Boil the Decoction: Never boil the decoction directly on a stove. It is already a finished extract; boiling it will make it overly bitter. Always add hot milk to the room-temperature decoction.
- Storage: Keep your S10 Brews decoction in the refrigerator after opening. This locks in the freshness and prevents the flavor from oxidizing.
- The "Black Coffee" Twist: If you prefer a black coffee (Kapi), simply mix the decoction with hot water. The 80:20 blend provides a unique, earthy profile that is much smoother than a standard Americano.
