1. Put 2 teaspoons of coffee ground into the upper chamber of the coffee filter (one with perforations). A light coffee can be made with less coffee.

2. Use a spoon or your hands to spread the coffee, and then use a disc to press it.

3. Fill the container close to the top with boiling water. For 20 to 30 minutes, cover the lid and allow the coffee to percolate into the lower container. If your filter is larger, this time may be longer.

4. After about 20 minutes, open the cover; by this point, all the water should have percolated into the lower chamber. And you have a potent coffee concoction.

5. Depending on how strong you like your coffee, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of hot coffee decoction to your cup to produce one serving. I add half a cup. Here, I'm utilising traditional dabra.

6. Add sugar to taste or leave it out if you don't like sweeteners in your coffee.

7. Depending on how much milk you want, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of heated milk. As I prefer strong coffee with less milk, I add a third of a cup.

8. Now, add the coffee from the tumbler into the dabra to froth it up and dissolve the sugar. And again from the tumbler into the dabra.

9. Use a high pour to create a good foam. Until it is foamy, repeat this a couple more times, and then serve it hot.
