Chicory is not an adulterant here, whatever the purists say. Roasted chicory root gives filter decoction its body, its dark colour and the faintly bittersweet edge that a straight arabica cannot produce. Take it out and you no longer have filter coffee — you have coffee, in a filter.
We roast the arabica dark, roast the chicory separately, and grind them together to the specific fineness a dabara filter wants: fine enough to hold, coarse enough to drip. Too fine and it chokes; too coarse and the decoction runs thin.
One heaped tablespoon, tamped lightly, hot water on top, and then you wait. That is the whole method, and the waiting is not optional.

Third order and counting
I run a small café and I have been through eleven filter coffee suppliers. This is the first one where the decoction is consistent bag after bag. The roast date on the tin is not a marketing gesture — you can taste the difference between week two and week seven.
Sceptical, then converted
What convinced me was the lab report. I looked up my batch number expecting a generic PDF and got an actual NABL report with my batch on it. That is the first time an Indian food brand has done that for me.

Chosen because they actually work alongside the filter coffee 80:20 — not because an algorithm said so.
