For those asking… I’m doing a very illegal version that would give Chennai grandmothers heart attacks.

I’m using espresso, though I do own the filter. The coffee is not always chicory laced. My family prefers pure. Espresso comes close taste-wise. The coffee in the filter is tamped as in espresso, but then hot water gravity percolates over 10-15 minutes rather than under pressure.

Both coffee and tea predate the British in India, and iirc tea was an import used in somewhat medicinal ways but coffee was grown natively (there’s a legend of a guy named Baba Budan smuggling coffee seeds out of Arabia in the 17th century to start the cultivation in karnataka)
