Mirras Coffee
Pure filter coffee | Madras café style | 400g
A nod to the old Madras coffee house tradition — pure filter coffee, no chicory, roasted and ground to recreate the style once served in the legendary "Degree Coffee" cafés of Madras (now Chennai).
The Kumbakonam Degree Coffee tradition demands pure coffee brewed through a fine filter and mixed with freshly boiled, full-fat cow milk to an exact ratio. This 400g blend is developed to meet that standard — clean, aromatic decoction that earns the "degree" designation.
Our institutional clients in Chennai and Madurai have been specifying the Old Madras Blend for over a decade. Now available for home orders, COD all over India.

Old Madras Blend — the taste I grew up with
I grew up in Chennai in the 1970s when every street corner had a Brahmin coffee house. The Old Madras Blend from Mirras brings that taste back — pure, aromatic, no nonsense. Brew it with freshly boiled full-fat milk at the right ratio and you have a proper degree coffee.
