Filter Coffee

Filter coffee, a staple in South India, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. According to legend, Sufi saint Baba Budan smuggled seven coffee beans from Yemen to India, planting them in Chikmagalur , Karnataka, which became the birthplace of Indian coffee. The British later introduced commercial coffee plantations, but it was the Indians who developed the unique brewing method using a metal filter, giving birth to filter coffee ¹ ² ³.

A2B, an iconic eatery in Bangalore, is a must-visit for filter coffee enthusiasts. Established in 1953, A2B has been serving authentic South Indian cuisine, including their famous filter coffee, for over six decades. The experience is a treat for the senses - the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, the sound of the filter, and the taste of rich, bold coffee blended with chicory.

At A2B, filter coffee is prepared using the traditional method, with a mix of Arabica and Robusta beans, and chicory adding a hint of bitterness. The coffee is served in a stainless-steel tumbler and dabarah, allowing you to savor every sip. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just starting your day, A2B's filter coffee is a quintessential Bangalore experience
