\nThe Frothy Magic in the Cup, a lot like a Cappuccino<\/a> is\u00a0 often called Indian” Espresso” Coffee in India. It might not have anything Espresso<\/a> in it;\u00a0 but it is luxuriously rich, creamy & sweet.<\/p>\n

College students & office workers hang around the Coffee Houses & the Cafes.\u00a0 Street side Cafes (which we would call “Thek”<\/strong> – often times with benches laid down right on the streets for customers, while the shop is built in a temporary arrangement with poles\u00a0 & tents)\u00a0 & Upscale Cafes,\u00a0 all do business by churning out hundreds of\u00a0 delightful cups of\u00a0 foamy coffee every day – the kind that makes a moustache once you take a sip. The upscale establishments might use a machine, but the others expertly use the trick to create the frothy, creamy coffee by flipping & pouring the coffee, milk & sugar all mixed together between a pair of steel glasses, quickly without a drop flying anywhere else! It is a trick one has to learn to master.<\/p>\n
