But for the days you’re looking for an instant fix, something quick but full of flavors, we’ve got just the product. Our VS Mani & Co Filter Coffee decoction review is a result the many advertisements on social media. We ordered the 220 ml bottle and here’s our view on it. 

Does this yield authentic Filter Coffee?

Here are some key details about this product. 

What were the parameters we set while reviewing  VS Mani & Co Filter Coffee decocotion?

The rich, bold flavors, the drool-worthy aroma, and the overall convenience were our set parameters. 

1. Flavor 

Filter coffee is not prepared with 100% Arabica coffee beans (like instant coffee, most of us are habituated with). Filter coffee is a mix of coffee beans and chicory. The flavor profile varies based on the chicory content. 

Typically, Filter Coffee neat tastes like a milder, caramel-like version of espresso with the innate bitterness. The flavor is complex, but with a reduced level of acidity. 

2. Convenience 

Preparing filter coffee calls for a special brewing device of dripper that holds the coffee filter and ground. This is specifically designed in a manner that aids the flow and extraction, as needed for filter coffee grounds (these are relatively finer)

What does this concoction call for, other than milk and sugar?

3. Other Parameters

The price, packaging, coffee and chicory content, shelf life were also gauged. 

Price + Packaging

The concoction is offered in a PET bottle. It holds 220 ml, is priced at Rs 145/- with a shelf life of six months. 

The main ingredients are coffee 80%, chicory 20%, and purified water. 

How we made it?

As suggested, we added 25 ml of the concoction with 100 ml of hot milk, and sugar as desired. 

If you prefer you coffee strong, you can add some more concoction. 

Flavor 

Filter Coffee cannot really be compared to instant or freshly brewed coffee. Primarily, because of its composition. 

VS Mani & Co Filter Coffee had a complex but desirable flavor profile. It wasn’t as acidic as regular coffee, but had a prominent bitterness with a natural, caramel-like sweetness. The reduced acidity made it softer to drink and the clean taste was impressive.

Convenience

A close to authentic South Indian Filter Coffee experience, in the Mishry HQ located in the North of India, WITHOUT the roasting, grinding, brewing processes. What more could we ask for?

Moreover, the clean ingredient list enhanced the overall experience. 

We liked that you can adjust the sweetness and amount of coffee. You can add both of these as per your requirements.

P.S Make sure you pour them back and forth to create that lovely froth on top.
