When your love for filter kaapi isn’t a passing phase but a deep appreciation that only grows stronger year after year, kaapi becomes a strong part of your identity.
It has the power to shape your mood and instantly transform a bad day into a good one.
The way we embrace kaapi and how important it is in our lives differs from person to person.
Here are 5 types of kaapi drinkers. Let us know which one you are.
The Traditionalist
This one needs no introduction. From the very word “traditionalist”, you can probably think of one person in your life who is a Traditionalist when it comes to kaapi.
They swear by the authentic way of preparing kaapi and love a strong decoction. You’ll probably catch them admitting that their Indian kaapi filter and dabara set are their most prized possessions.
The Traditionalist doesn’t need any shortcuts; no matter how little time they may have in the mornings, they’ll never settle for instant coffee or machine coffee, knowing how good the traditional kaapi brewing approach is.
They find comfort in tradition and are always recommending the classic kaapi to everyone they know.
The Explorer
A Traditionalist and Explorer will rarely see eye to eye. In a debate about the best way of brewing filter kaapi, they may also never arrive at a mutual agreement.
The Explorer is someone who doesn’t mind experimenting and trying new things. If there are fusion kaapi drinks or kaapi capsules that produce a cup in seconds, they’re probably the first ones standing in line to try it out.
They add to the kaapi culture in a way few others do because the Explorer brings the excitement and the eagerness to keep things fresh and innovative.
The Sweet Lover
You also probably know a kaapi fan who is The Sweet Lover.
When they brew kaapi, you can smell the sweetness from a mile away. They have a sweet tooth that knows no bounds. So much so that you’ll find them pairing their sweet kaapi with sweets and other baked goods.
They love kaapi in an unrestrained way. You’ll never find The Sweet Lover counting calories or wondering if one spoonful of sugar is too much. And so kaapi becomes a source of joy and comfort for these kaapi lovers.
The Sweet Lover is the person around you who believes that when there is a problem in life, brewing frothy, sweet kaapi is the first step to solving the problem.
The Busy Bee
At some point in time, we have all seen The Busy Bee in action.
While they love the taste of filter kaapi, they are not too focused on how it is prepared as long as they can get a cup quickly.
For them, kaapi isn’t about having a soothing ritual. They drink kaapi to get through the day and probably gulp it down hurriedly on the way to work.
The Busy Bees are highly practical. You won’t find them aerating the kaapi by pouring it back and forth between the tumbler and the dabara. If there’s a shortcut to making kaapi, they’ll take it.
The People’s Person
And lastly, The People’s Person. They resemble the values of Indian culture in the sense that they are all about connecting with fellow kaapi lovers.
The more people they can share kaapi with, the better.
The last person to gift you a pack of kaapi is definitely The People’s Person.
They have a warm, inviting nature, are always open to hosting people over at their house, and think that the true essence of kaapi is enhanced by enjoying it with others.
Just like the many blends of filter kaapi, there are many types of kaapi lovers. Each one of them is important to the community.
