Kynetra Coffee
Our most popular product: the classic 80:20 coffee-chicory blend, roasted dark and ground fine for the traditional South Indian steel filter.
South Indian filter coffee without chicory is like rasam without tamarind — technically correct, but missing something essential. The chicory we use is roasted separately to a complementary level, then blended at exactly 80:20 — the ratio that produces the thick, aromatic decoction the tradition demands.
Our Arabica base is a blend of estate S795 and Cauvery varieties, roasted dark to filter levels. Combined with chicory, the resulting powder brews a decoction that is intensely dark, almost viscous, with a bittersweet character that cuts through boiled whole milk and distributes evenly through the cup.
This 500g bag is the household staple — good for approximately 40–50 cups at normal dosage. Resealable and nitrogen-flushed for freshness.

My husband will not drink any other filter coffee now
We switched from our supermarket brand two months ago. The decoction is richer, the aroma when we open the bag is something else. The 500g lasts us about 5 weeks.
Finally — filter coffee that tastes like my grandfather’s cup
I have been chasing the taste of my grandfather’s morning decoction for twenty years. He used to source directly from a Coorg estate. This Kynetra filter blend is the closest I have found — strong, aromatic, with just the right touch of chicory to give it body without bitterness. The decoction-to-milk ratio on the pack is exactly right.
