After we lost a piece to our percolator from India, my mom has been using a Bialetti Moka pot to make south indian filter coffee and it's been working wonderfully! Just thought I'd throw that out as an option for everyone!
I can't live without my thirsty for!!! Every time I see a new video in my feed it makes my day. I've seen every single episode! And I even re-watch my favorite videos every once in a while. My summers gonna feel empty without you guys!
Great video :) Iam a South Indian. Usually after boiling the milk, we add the concentrated coffee and sugar and juggle it twice to create the froth on top. Boiling will reduce the flavor n texture.
as a South Indian I do this every day and I love how everything in this video is so ADORABLY authentic... like you guys even got those huge tongs things to grab the hot steel vessel! LOVED IT!
I'm South Indian and I can honestly say that you guys actually got every single aspect of this video correct! Even the pot that you used to boil the milk and water, my mom has the exact same pot in the kitchen and she uses it every morning for the exact same reason. Also, I love that you guys had dosa and sambar on the side! The table setting at the end is something I see very often in the mornings. And I applaud you guys for using whole milk! My mom told me what whole milk is the only option you got there growing up and she tells me that you can get low fat milk, but it costs a lot more! Overall, great job! I can't wait to see the next episode.
You guys are sooo badly gooooood!!! Everything you use makes me feel like your making the drink in it's own country! The music, the tools, the atmosphere, the small lovely informations... everything just perfection!! And it's so nice that there is no alcohol included. you supposed to have a channel just for you, for " Thirsty For".
Hi I love all your videos. As a film maker I take inspirations from videos that are well shot. Now I am not here to comment about your work, but at the same time I am a South Indian also. That is the wrong way of making filter coffee. The coffee brew should never be added to the milk and then boiled. Its the other way around, first boil the milk and then take a cup and pour the boiled milk and add the brew. The frothing is done by transferring the coffee from one cup to another. There are some health hazards when you make filter coffee they you have showcased. cheers !!
The blunder in this recipe is to add the decoction to the boiling milk. It burns the coffee and gives a bad taste. Always add boiled and little cooled down milk to the decoction for the perfect taste. Atleast thats the way its made in Andhra Pradesh and it taste awesome.
sandeep amity was about to comment this. sadly the south Indian hotel chains have popularised this version of filter coffee, which uses boiling milk. traditionally, it has always been between luke warm to lesser than boiling milk, in order to make it convenient to hold the glass in hand. (read this in an article)
Nice video... Though I'm a South Indian never seen a tutorial video on how to make Indian filter coffee.. I love cappuccino and all kinds of coffee but still South Indian filter coffee is the best.. Thanks for sharing it...
the preparation of this is pretty spot on though if I may make a couple of suggestions! Go with bru or narsi brand ground coffee, both of them taste pretty good/spot on to the madrasi chicory coffee flavor. Heat up milk SEPARATELY from the coffee and then add the decoction/coffee and sugar afterwards. When you place it in the metal glass and the container/dabarah before drinking you move it between both containers to cool and drink a little bit of a time in the dabarah. Also a suggestion to the producers/editors/whoever does the words on the last screen, it would've been a little more appropriate to have tamil writing rather than hindi writing as this drink is found predominantly in "South" India.
It was only a suggestion considering its popularly called "Madras Coffee". Its nitpicking on the misconception that India has only 1 language that everyone in India speaks. Its not a bad thing that they wrote it in Hindi but it could be better if they wrote it in Tamil or Telugu or Kannada or Malayalam. The want to have it written like that, doesn't necessarily mean I deny being Indian
Poonam Abbi There's quite a few official languages in India. If they're talking about south India, the languages spoken greatly are Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam,etc. North, East, West India would be a different story. You don't have to speak Hindi only to be Indian haha.
We don't boil the coffee with the milk!! The milk is heated then decoction (coffee) and sugar are added to the cup and then frothed. A good interpretation nonetheless :)
I don't have the percolator, but find you can achieve the same results through a french press. It's pretty rich and serves as a lovely morning pick-me-up or for serving after dinner!
I am from Chennai. And as far as i remember, my family has had filter coffee in the mornings. And, I have also been having it for very very long time. For a very good filter coffee, you should get the blend PB+A(200gms+200gms) freshly ground from a coffee powder shop and make a filter decoction out of it. Boil the milk. To a bowl, add sugar, decoction and milk and froth it. The aroma, the awesome bubbly look and the taste.. yumm..!
hi guys,,, am basically from south of india... this is my everyday cup of coffee... just a lil correction. v used to boil the milk and and the coffee filtered with sugar. v dont boil the coffee again with the milk. wen it boils again, it loses it filtered flavour. boiling it bring a bitter taste to it.
That message at the end just made me a little sad. I don't ever make drinks and sometimes the songs are so weird I have to mute it, but I really love watching them and learning about the culture and imagining the ingredients brewed together. I'm going to miss 'Thirsty for ...' this summer.
Ah, reminds me of my time spent in Southern India :) I would crave this perfect drink even on the hottest of days. Up to 120 degrees with no humidity ;) I loved the production as well as the taste. Simplistic yet, delicious. Thank you
I'm also from Chennai and this video brought back memories of those early morning coffee dripping aromas waking me up along with chants of suprabhatham.
Hi, Tastemade! I really enjoy your videos, especially your "Thirsty For" series. Can you please more videos on how coffee is prepared in other parts of the world, specifically Turkish coffee. Thanks, and more power!
On my trip to India I brought back some great coffee. It was locally harvested in Kerala, India. All I can say is that it's the best coffee I ever had.
K Anne yeah, but you know, some time ago tastemade made a survey on which drink we would want to see next and one option was butterbeer (like the harry potter one!!!) so since then i have been waiting for it...not complaining, i'm just really a nerdy potterhead (and proud of it^^) and excited to see thyr take on it! :)
Alisa Lokram Nope. Raga means melody, which applies to all music, north and south. The instruments in this video are Sitar and Tabla which are of the North Indian Hindustani musical style. South Indian Carnatic music would've been more appropriate.
TH-camRasika Oh, I was under the impression that raga was specific to Carnatic music, and that North Indian music was known as Hindustani. At least, that's what I learned in my World Music class :)
Alisa Lokram Also, it follows raga structure, with an improvised introductory section in free rhythm (alapana) that transitions into metric rhythm (pallavi) :0
Looks so good! Loving the light in the video! :)
4k Coffee? I can almost taste it from here.
What a lovely video, I really enjoyed the music and the lighting which really gave life to the whole process. Absolutely stunning.

Every time you announce a break my heart breaks a little. I really love this show!

This series was amazing when it began, fresh and each video was different.
Absolutely amazing pieces of art! I enjoy them so much congratulations on the excellent work!!!
These videos are literally art... My goodness.
I so adore these videos, a break is okay but pretty please never stop! :)

I totally agree with the Bru coffee part. But the Tamil part...mmm...what can I say...looks like you deny being an Indian...

That percolator looks like a giant version of the Vietnamese coffee filter.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST!!

oh no, a little break! I hope you all come back soon I love your show! :) xo, Alexandra
i cannot read the beginning of that sentence without sounding sarcastic..
Hahahahahahah it was totally meant to sound like it's written ooooohhhh noooooooo hehhehe ;)
Thirsty For is one of the most beautiful shows on TH-cam! I'll eagerly await the finale & any other new episodes! :D
Absolutely beautiful.
all these videos have such good quality!!
have a great summer off! Will miss new episodes but I'm sure the next season is going to be just as good as what you've already produced!
Love the work, art, and passion that is put into every production! Opening minds by celebrating the differences!
I am sure there will be some great stuff, but this series is the only thing i subscribed for ^.0! Keep up the good work :D
Wow, already time for another season finale! Time flies when you're watching delicious drinks being made I guess.
As coffee addict, I thought I tried all kinds of coffees, but not this one. I should try this one day; sure many gems come from India :)
You're right! Indian culture is so old and rich. Love it!
I don't have the percolator, but find you can achieve the same results through a french press. It's pretty rich and serves as a lovely morning pick-me-up or for serving after dinner!
I know, right?

Season finale already? Nooooo. I feel like it just started.
I felt soo happy when I saw dosa and vada's at the end of the video....😂😁😄
I loved how you used a sansi to pick up the pot of boiling water, such a lovely authentic touch!
I'll miss this show :/
How long did you take to master the pouring from the pot to the little steel cup without spilling all over the place?! Haha.
That message at the end just made me a little sad. I don't ever make drinks and sometimes the songs are so weird I have to mute it, but I really love watching them and learning about the culture and imagining the ingredients brewed together. I'm going to miss 'Thirsty for ...' this summer.
This looks so yummy! I love your videos!
As usual, great video!!
Awesome recipe!
Inspirational, and I'm glad that it's in 1440p
Nice video.. Though I'm a South Indian never seen a tutorial video on how to make Indian filter coffee..love it ..

You guys are so awesome!!

Why do you have to take breaks? You must be a work horse. Drink more coffee. Aw, I really do look forward to each episode. Thanks for posting.
I'm also from Chennai and this video brought back memories of those early morning coffee dripping aromas waking me up along with chants of suprabhatham.

Beautiful !!!
Fantastic !!

Yummy looks so good
Hmmm...Yummy... I miss India, home and homemade coffee....
Tastemade never fails to impress, but would have liked to seen Tamil instead of hindi at the end haha
Gorgeous
I subscribed for Laura Miller!
what song is this!!! I LOVE
that 4k is actually beautiful
Kudos for the metal dishes. My friend from Punjab has all metal plates and cups.
Ah, he's so handsome! ♥
Don't take a break! :(
oh man, music gave me chills...
I love the music! c:
that was wonderful
Who's the person preparing the drinks in the video? Is it laura miller?
Where is the pouring action that I was looking for ????
I love this! Ravi shankar?
We've got this filter too. Just in a little version.
Try covering another Sweet & Spicy Herbal Drink "Kashaya" from Bangalore India. This herbal drink has many health benefits.
Pls do a thirsty for moroccan coffee!!
I love your videos. Maybe next time you could do Chicheme?
how long is this break going to last
Video of the Indian banana lassi please!
actually the best coffee in the world
where is the BUTTERBEER??? oh, please do it...
they made "Tibetan Butter Tea" You should check that video out.
K Anne yeah, but you know, some time ago tastemade made a survey on which drink we would want to see next and one option was butterbeer (like the harry potter one!!!) so since then i have been waiting for it...not complaining, i'm just really a nerdy potterhead (and proud of it^^) and excited to see thyr take on it! :)
petit3Cello hahaha that's cool. hopefully after their break :D
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NO MORE BREAKS THIRSTY FOR MY HEART CANNOT TAKE IT

This was how I learned to drink coffee: In Madurai in all those hot afternoons!
Pls recommend a brand of new orleans coffee that is similar to the indian version! Stuck in baton rouge with no Cotha's around ... cheers
The only reason I'm subscribed to Tastemade is for Thirsty For
Please, please, please do Butter Beer!
season finale ALREADY???? :'(((
I want the catchy popping old school music back!!!! Pleasee~~~
I LOVE Indian coffee!
Good recipe but you got the language and music choices wrong (i.e. you used North Indian music and language, not South Indian).
Being too picky mate :)
I am from northern India so I don't know about this coffee but I'm guessing it is pretty good!
For a video about coffee...the song really was putting me to sleep
Thank your! Thirsty for is a great channel! :)
I'm so glad Eric is my bf and directs all these thirsty fors I'm so proud of his success what a cutie am I right?
Is that pesarattu on the plate?
Can we use room temperature water instead of hot water?
#thirstyfor I love the series. N the channel could u guys try to do Tepache... :)
Promise to come back really soon! :'(
I just discovered this channel. Lets get cookin!
So it is like a sweet latte?
Hell yes this looks f*•$@ing awsome
This coffee filter is huge. The one i have is about the size of a cup
How do you handle a hot metal glass?? o.O
Finally a South Indian drink
They should have put some South Indian music not north
Tastemakers Heaven The music in this video is known as a raga, or raag, which is a musical entity of South Indian classical music, though.
Alisa Lokram Nope. Raga means melody, which applies to all music, north and south. The instruments in this video are Sitar and Tabla which are of the North Indian Hindustani musical style. South Indian Carnatic music would've been more appropriate.
TH-camRasika Oh, I was under the impression that raga was specific to Carnatic music, and that North Indian music was known as Hindustani. At least, that's what I learned in my World Music class :)
Alisa Lokram Also, it follows raga structure, with an improvised introductory section in free rhythm (alapana) that transitions into metric rhythm (pallavi) :0
So this is basically ordinary coffee with more milk in it?
sooo... milk coffee basically?
