HEKTAPY PREMIUM FILTER COFFEES

Hektapy is proud to introduce its premium coffees to discerning connoisseurs of rich coffee. Sourced exclusively in Chikmagalur – The Land of Coffee, from a 100 year old coffee estate, nestled in the famed bio-diverse hills of the Western Ghats, at the foothills of Mullayangiri (6,500 ft), the highest peak in Karnataka.   

Hektapy coffees are of single origin and sustainable cultivated, eco-washed and sun dried clean, hulled and mild roasted in small batches, powdered and packed fresh; all by the planter himself using high-tech imported machinery. Hektapy selects the best coffee beans of Bold AA size for its premium filter coffees, for that exclusivity. 

ARABICA (100% Pure)

A pure Arabica coffee powder that gives the finest aroma and mellowest taste.

All Hektapy Premium Filter Coffees come along with a sachet of Hektapy Premium Chicory Powder to blend the pure coffees with; whenever the need for a strong, dense, bitter coffee is felt.

THE HEKTAPY GUIDE TO FILTER COFFEE PREPARATION

Filter Coffees are made using a ‘Coffee Filter’, which is available for sale at all kitchen accessories stores. It is a standard equipment that comes with 2 jars. The upper holds the coffee powder and has holes that let the brew drip into the lower jar. There is a pressing disc in the upper jar, which also has a cap for closing it. Strong decoction collects in the lower jar.

 

Other equipment that are needed are a milk boiling vessel, a vessel for heating water, a pan for frothing the prepared coffee, and for serving – a porcelain coffee cup set, or a set of dabarah and tumbler made of stainless steel or brass or just glass tumblers. The coffee drinking ceremony varies with the local culture in the country and individual preferences.
