Continental Malgudi Filter Coffee Powder | 500gm Pouch | 80% Coffee - 20% Chicory | Traditional South Indian | Roasted Ground| Smooth Flavour and Rich Aroma |

Absolutely love it. The quality is truly good. I just bought it for trying. Now I am a fan of filter coffee. Texture is satisfactory. Functionality of the product is great as it is extremely easy to make in my madrasi style filter coffee maker. Much more pocket-friendly and value for money than instant coffee with poor taste. I am now a Filter coffee fan for life.

Taste n smell is a little less pronounced than lavazza black coffee. But then again this has chicory mixed in it. I tried the decoction neat without milk or sugar. Taste is bitter and lacks the pleasant aroma associated with coffee. Next will try the 60/40 and see the difference as I like my coffee to be less bitter.Overall not bad but nothing great either. Price is reasonable.

Excellent strong coffee, loved it as much as R K Narayan’s Malgudi

Good cheap and reliable but it's only good too drink with milk and drinking it black it's acidic bitter and harsh. The texture is good idk about freshness the grind date was not explicitly mentioned on the product. I think they should start to do that

Strong aroma good coffee

I'm anyways avid researcher, and research is what I do for a living. After a very long list of coffee researches, i zeroed in on trying this coffee. I'm on a quest to find my absolute favourite, which I'm yet to find, but am determined to find one. For my credentials, I'm a convert - from black coffee ro fourth Indian filter coffee - and I converted in 2015. This conversion occured in Hassan, at the foothills on Chikkamagalur (Home of Baba Budan Giri, the coffee birthplace), and I've never looked back. All I was looking for was what the South Indian Homes brew everyday and for me to replicate that at home (I have a filter, and know how the decoction, strength of decoction, boil milk first with sugar works - trust me, I'm on board with all of that). I hate the fancy coffees and am looking for the simple everyday brews. Simple ones are the best.I have NEVER written any Amazon review, but was so negatively moved by this coffee, that I was forced to spare the horrors for anyone brave enough to try. This one broke my heart.Onwards to the coffee:1. There is very little coffee taste. It has way more chicory than 20 (i bought 80-20 mix).2. Decoction strength is weak - which is weird since more chicory should ideally mean a stronger decoction but that is also not the case. Something weird going on here, which I'm unable to decipher (and i humble submit, I know how to brew the traditional way)An absolute pass. I would buy the Bru / Tata if I had to throw away my money (which are also way better than this one). My absolute favourite so far would be Narasus.

Newly opened pack powder smells good and tastes good but after 2 days both smell and taste are not anything like before

Taste is good!
